Honda Amaze — Price & Specs for Taxi Use
The refinement pick. No factory CNG, so it only makes sense on corporate contracts, not app-cab economics.
The Amaze is the most refined car in the compact sedan taxi set, with the best ride and the quietest cabin. But the 2026 car has no factory CNG or diesel option, which rules it out of app-cab economics. Where it works is fixed corporate contracts and premium chauffeur duty, where the fare is negotiated rather than metered.

What it actually costs on the road with a T-permit
Commercial (yellow plate) registration is not the same as private. Road tax is charged on a different slab, and you also pay for the permit, fitness certificate and commercial insurance. As a working figure, budget ₹8.49 L – ₹12.00 L on-road for Honda Amaze with commercial registration in Delhi NCR. Rates differ by state and permit type, so always ask the dealer for a written commercial quote — the private on-road price they show first is not what you will pay.
Running Cost — What You Will Actually Spend
ARAI figures are lab numbers. These are derated to what operators report under real commercial duty — AC on, passengers aboard, city traffic.

|---|---|---|
| Uber | Premier | Yes |
| Ola | Prime Sedan | Yes |

Finance on a New Amaze
New commercial vehicles finance more easily than used ones. For Honda Amaze, banks and NBFCs typically fund 80–90% of the ex-showroom price over a 3–5 year term, provided you hold a valid permit and can show income. Rates on new commercial vehicles run below used-vehicle rates because the asset is fresh collateral.
- Manufacturer finance arms (Honda dealers) usually quote fastest, but not always cheapest.
- Your existing bank will often better a dealer quote if you already run an account with them.
- Get the commercial on-road figure in writing before you compare EMIs; dealers often quote the private one.
Buy Sell Taxi does not lend. We put you in touch with the dealer and you arrange finance directly with them or your own bank.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Honda Amaze come with a factory CNG option for taxi use?
No. The 2026 Amaze is sold with a 1.2-litre petrol engine only, in manual and CVT. Honda dealers offer a government-approved retrofit CNG kit under a limited warranty, but that is a dealer fitment rather than a factory one — which matters for warranty terms, resale and some aggregator fitness checks.
Is the Honda Amaze worth buying as a taxi?
Only for the right work. On metered app-cab duty the petrol-only running cost makes it hard to compete with a Dzire Tour S or Aura CNG. On fixed-rate corporate contracts, hotel duty and chauffeur services — where the fare is negotiated and passenger comfort decides renewals — the Amaze's refinement earns its keep.
What is the on-road price of a Honda Amaze with commercial registration in Delhi?
Ex-showroom starts at ₹7.51 lakh for the V and runs to ₹10.00 lakh for the ZX CVT. With commercial yellow-plate registration, road tax, permit and commercial insurance, budget roughly ₹8.6–11.4 lakh on-road depending on variant.
Compare With
Or Buy a Used Amaze Instead
A used Amaze with a commercial RC already in place skips the registration and permit process entirely — and costs a fraction of new.
