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.

NCAP 5★

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.

!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  • Rear drum brakes across entire range feel outdated for this price point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

Honda Elevate Overview

The Honda Elevate is the brand's compact SUV built on the Man-Maximum, Machine-Minimum philosophy, powered by a refined 1.5-litre i-VTEC DOHC petrol engine making 119 bhp @ 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm @ 4,300 rpm, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-step CVT with paddle shifters. ARAI efficiency is 15.31 kmpl (MT) and 16.92 kmpl (CVT). Measuring 4,312 mm long on a 2,650 mm wheelbase, it offers a class-leading 458-litre boot, a 40-litre tank and a tall 220 mm ground clearance. Safety is a headline strength: every variant gets 6 airbags as standard, an ACE body structure, VSA stability control, ABS with EBD, Hill Start Assist and Emergency Stop Signal, backed by a 5-star Global NCAP rating. The top ZX grade adds the full Honda SENSING ADAS suite - CMBS autonomous braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, Lead Car Departure alert and Auto High-Beam - plus a LaneWatch left-mirror camera and a multi-angle rear camera. Inside, the Elevate scales from a fabric-trimmed SV to a leatherette-clad ZX with a 26.03 cm (10.25") HD touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an 8-speaker surround system, a one-touch electric sunroof, fully automatic climate control, a PM2.5 air purifier and Honda Connect with 37+ connected features. Edition packs - Black Edition, ADV Edition and Signature Black - layer on gloss-black alloys and bespoke cabin trim over the ZX.
