Expert's Opinion on Elevate

Design

Tell Me About The Honda Elevate's Looks!
Tell Me About The Honda Elevate's Looks!
  • The Honda Elevate has been described by many as a “mini-Land Cruiser” thanks to its imposing front design!
  • 220mm of ground clearance helps the Elevate clear speed breakers and unpredictable road conditions
  • Fun fact - The design itself takes inspiration from the Honda Vezel but with a much more boxy edgy design to make the Elevate more butch
  • Colour options for the Elevate include orange, blue, red, white, brown, silver and gray
  • Orange, red and white can also be had with a black dual-tone
  • The Brown (black) and the Orange really pop with this SUV
  • 17-inch alloy wheels offered with the VX and ZX variants look attention grabbing and complement the design well
  • Fun fact: Honda sells the made-in-India Elevate in Japan, where it is called - the Honda WR-V!
  • Rear end design is too plain and lacks the unique appeal of the front
  • If you like sportier or flashier styling, something like the Kia Seltos will offer more appeal

Interiors

What's The Honda Elevate Like Inside?
What's The Honda Elevate Like Inside?
  • Tan brown and black interior looks premium and unique though only offered with the top-end variant
  • Beige and black interior offered in the lower variants looks premium and similar to the Honda City
  • Perfect ergonomics with all the controls feeling very natural to use
  • A new car buyer will feel at ease in the Elevate
  • Getting in and out of the car will be convenient for elders in the family thanks to the raised seat height
  • The driver gets a full view of the long bonnet which adds to the SUV charm! Makes you feel like you’re driving a bigger car
  • While fit and finish won't give you reason to complain, it doesn't feel as premium as rivals like the Seltos or Astor
  • The brown and black interior looks the best and should have been offered with lower variants too

Space & Practicality

Is It Spacious?
Is It Spacious?
  • Cabin space is enough for four 6 feet tall occupants to sit comfortably
  • Storage spaces in the cabin are well designed, including phone slots within the seat back pockets, a large storage tray for front passenger phones/wallets, cupholders at the front and rear and storage under the front armrest too
  • 458 litre boot space is very generous and can store large suitcases easily or multiple trolley bags
  • Rear seats split and fold 60:40 to free up more storage space if you need it
  • The seats are large in size and deliver good support for those with broad shoulders and offer good under-thigh support too
  • Drivers over 6ft tall or those who wear turbans will want better front headroom
  • Front seat travel is limited, making it less than ideal for drivers over 6ft in height
  • Tall front passengers may find the dashboard hitting their knee

Features

Everything you need
Everything you need
  • 10.25 inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay offers good resolution and is easy to navigate through
  • Single-pane sunroof
  • 7-inch multi-information display
  • 8-speaker music system that delivers good sound quality
  • The base SV variant offers good value for money. It just needs a little personalisation with add-ons like wheel covers and your preferred infotainment system with speakers
  • Misses features like ventilated seats, powered driver’s seat, type-C USB chargers or a panoramic sunroof
  • Icon sizes on the touchscreen could have been larger
  • While the sound system is good, rivals like the Tata Curvv, Kia Seltos or Hyundai Creta have better setups

Safety

The Elevate's Safety Features
The Elevate's Safety Features
  • 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX and rear parking sensors camera
  • The Elevate also gets rear view camera and the left indicator-linked Lane Watch camera
  • Other features: auto-dimming IRVM, traction control and hill-start assist
  • The Elevate also offers advanced driver assistance systems including adaptive cruise control and auto-braking
  • The Elevate has not been tested yet but the Honda Vezel/HR-V which the Elevate is based off, received a 5 star rating from JNCAP in 2022.
  • ADAS can feel jerky or over-reactive in Indian driving conditions, especially in the city
  • Lane watch camera resolution is not very usable at night especially in the rains

Performance & Mileage

Will I Like Driving The Honda Elevate?
Will I Like Driving The Honda Elevate?
  • The Elevate gets the same 1.5 litre petrol engine as the Honda City
  • Producing 121PS of power and 145Nm of torque, this engine has a well-established reputation for reliability
  • It’s a smooth engine to drive and will manage city commutes easily
  • A 6-speed manual transmission comes as standard with an optional CVT automatic
  • Claimed mileage standard at 16.92kmpl (CVT) and 15.31kmpl (manual)
  • Braking performance is strong and the car feels steady even under panic braking conditions at high speeds
  • No diesel, hybrid or CNG option available
  • The iVtec petrol engine needs to be pushed during high speed overtakes or while driving up inclines
  • While the CVT is our pick for its smoothness, it won’t offer the urgency-on-demand the way a dual-clutch automatic transmission can

Handling

Is It Fun To Drive?
Is It Fun To Drive?
  • The Elevate offers good handling and is very easy to drive in traffic thanks to its light controls
  • The manners stay predictable even at high speeds and the experience is very confidence inspiring
  • While the Elevate’s handling manners are very good, especially for an SUV, the performance is best suited for city driving and relaxed highway touring

Ride Quality

Is The Elevate Comfortable?
Is The Elevate Comfortable?
  • Ride quality is a big reason to consider the Elevate as it’s both comfortable and balanced
  • Bump absorption is good, passengers are kept insulated well from bad roads
  • It controls side-to-side tossing that’s a common drawback in other SUVs
  • Some body roll can be felt in the corners which will be more apparent to rear seat passengers
  • Noise insulation needs to be better as there’s a notable amount of road noise audible especially at the rear

Verdict

Who Should Buy The Honda Elevate?
Who Should Buy The Honda Elevate?
  • The Elevate is a smooth to drive, dependable, spacious, practical and comfortable family car
  • It's not the most feature-rich offering in the segment but delivers very good value for money
  • If you need punchy performance/strong performance with a full load, consider diesel/turbo-petrol/hybrid alternatives such as the Grand Vitara, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos or Skoda Kushaq

Key Things to Know about Elevate

Upside
  • Spacious interior
  • Large boot space
  • Comfortable ride quality
  • Smooth performance
Downside
  • Misses features vs competition, no choice of turbocharged or hybrid powertrains
  • Egine lacks punch for highway overtakes or driving on hilly roads
Expert's Conclusion

The Honda Elevate delivers thoroughly on the fundamentals of what a family car needs. It doesn’t make headlines for its features list or powertrain options but is nevertheless a practical and comfortable family SUV

I purchased this on Nov'25. I drove more than 1200 Km. It is perfect on all parameters, good driving position, engine performance, boot space, good on bad roads, paddle shiftier works well etc. Fully satisfied with Elevate ZX CVT. Don't compare with turbo engines specification with this car engine. My suggestion, take a test drive.

overall this is the best sedan suv for family . It has the luxury leather which is imagined by everyone , you can get it under 20 lakhs . This can be a great car for people who love bucket seats . I don't accept that Honda did not gave heated seats inbuilt , we have to pay extra charges to recieve it . But the performance , comfort and safety is extraordinary.
