Only the Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun have better-starting prices than the top-spec Elevate compared to other midsize SUVs. Compared to the similar Elevate variant, the base and top-spec Honda City cost Rs. 57,000 and Rs. 5,000 more, respectively.
Honda Elevate design
The Elevate has a sizable grille with a large Honda logo and two thin LED headlights surrounding it. At the top of the grille, a substantial chrome bar connects the headlamps. Elevate’s style is straightforward and neutral, which is a wise move to appeal to a larger population in the Indian market. The interior shares similarities with the City but has distinctive aesthetic cues that set the two apart.
The Elevate’s rear end features a windscreen with a slight slope and taillights joined by a reflector bar. Additionally, it receives an altered skid plate and a large indent on the rear for housing the licence plate.
Honda Elevate features
Features like 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7-inch TFT all-digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, TPMS, full LED projector headlights, DRLs, indicators, and taillamps are provided.
A lane-watch camera, wireless charging, and a rear parking camera are further features of the Elevate. Along with the Elevate, Honda also supplies its ADAS package, which includes tools like a collision mitigation braking system, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, road departure warning, and automatic high beam assistance. The only other midsize SUVs with ADAS are the updated MG Astor and Kia Seltos.
The available colours are Meteoroid Grey Metallic, Radiant Red Metallic, Golden Brown Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Obsidian Blue Pearl, and Phoenix Orange Pearl.
