Coming to the profile, the Elevate facelift continues with a similar boxy silhouette with black roof rails, black wheel arch cladding, and 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels for the top-end trims.

The updated Elevate now has a differentiating feature such as rear ventilated seats, which will be a boon in Indian climate conditions. Along with it, it has a premium 8-speaker sound system, ventilated and powered front seats with 8-way adjustment for the driver and 4-way adjustment for the co-driver. Like the outgoing Elevate, it gets the usual comfort features such as adjustable headrests for all seats, a single-pane sunroof, and automatic climate control.

In terms of safety, the Elevate facelift is equipped with Level-2 ADAS, such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and auto high beam assist.

Overall, the safety equipment now feels wholesome with the package on offer.
