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 n/a

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.

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  • Rear drum brakes across entire range feel outdated for this price point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