As per the RDE norms in India, cars need to achieve the said emission goals not when tested in the laboratory but also the real driving conditions.

Honda Amaze has a low torque which might be suitable to climb hills. It might be hard to drive an Amaze in a hilly area with high slopes, especially when you stop the car accidentally and try to drive again. The 3rd and the 4th gear aren’t powerful, and hence overtaking when on a hill or a slope can seem challenging to many.
