Citroen Aircross X vs Honda Amaze Comparison 2026: Price, Mileage, Features

Comparison overview: The Citroen Aircross X starts at ₹8.89 L and the Honda Amaze at ₹7.65 L, a difference of ₹1.24 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹1.38 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Engine and performance: Both cars use the same 1199cc Petrol engine and Automatic/Manual gearbox, so performance will not decide this for you. Price, features and boot space will.

Mileage and running cost: The Citroen Aircross X Petrol Automatic/Manual is rated at 17.6 kmpl and the Honda Amaze Petrol Automatic/Manual at 19.46 kmpl. At 1,000 km a month, the Honda Amaze saves you about ₹570.2256376716807 a month and ₹6.84 K a year on fuel.

Space and practicality: The Citroen Aircross X takes 511 litres against 416, about 95 litres more. That is roughly one extra cabin-size bag of extra room.

What one gives that the other does not: The Citroen Aircross X adds Turbo Charger, Top Speed, Ventilated Seats, Cruise Control and Foldable Rear Seat. The Honda Amaze adds Brake Assist, Anti-Theft Alarm, Curtain Airbag, Seat Belt Warning and Door Ajar Warning. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the Honda Amaze if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹1.24 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Citroen Aircross X if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Engine Type without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Citroen Aircross X offers Turbo Charger.

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
