About the Honda Elevate
Bold Meets Performance.
Launched in 2023, the Honda Elevate is the Japanese brand's contender in India's fiercely contested compact-SUV space, sitting above the City sedan in Honda's line-up. It pairs the company's well-known 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine with a choice of manual and CVT gearboxes, targeting buyers who value refinement, space and safety over outright feature-count.
Where the Elevate stands out is its bold, upright SUV stance, a genuinely large 458-litre boot, a tall 220 mm ground clearance and one of the segment's most complete safety packages - 6 airbags as standard, a 5-star Global NCAP body and a full Honda SENSING ADAS suite on the top ZX. A range of edition packs (Black, ADV and Signature Black) lets owners personalise the look without changing the dependable mechanicals underneath.
Key Highlights
- 119 bhp petrol engine with 145 Nm torque, CVT available
- Global NCAP 5-star safety rating with 6 airbags
- Level-2 ADAS for advanced driver assistance features
- Panoramic sunroof and wireless phone charging
- 458L boot space, 5-seater SUV design
- E20 fuel compliant for flex-fuel efficiency
📰 Latest News — Elevate
Safe and feature-rich, but underpowered for the price
SUV · ₹11.64–16.67 lakh · Petrol (E20 compliant)
“The Elevate is a fortress on safety with its 5-star NCAP rating, 6 airbags standard, and Honda SENSING ADAS on top trims—genuinely reassuring for family duties. However, a modest 119 bhp engine, sub-15 km/l efficiency, and steep pricing relative to powertrain output make it feel slightly overcooked. Pick the ZX if the safety and tech suite justify the premium; base variants are harder to recommend.
How the score breaks down — weighted across 6 dimensions, scored against the segment set
✓Stands out
- 5-star Global NCAP crash rating with 6 airbags standard across lineup
- Honda SENSING ADAS suite (3 functions) on ZX for proactive safety
- Punchy 119 bhp i-VTEC with slick 6-speed MT or refined CVT with paddle shifters
- Segment-leading 458L boot and 220mm ground clearance for daily versatility
- ZX packs 10.25" touchscreen, sunroof, wireless connectivity, and 8-speaker audio
- Honda reliability pedigree with extended warranty coverage up to 10 years
!Gives us pause
- Single 1.5L petrol engine only—no diesel, CNG, hybrid, or turbo alternatives
- ARAI efficiency of 15.31 km/l is modest; real-world figures often lower
- Rear drum brakes across entire range feel outdated for this price point
- ADAS and touchscreen bundled only in top ZX; base SV lacks both
- No standard 360-degree camera or TPMS; both remain optional add-ons
