Premium greeted Interior

Honda moved away from the City’s outdated and simplistic interior design in favour of offering a more premium and stylish experience. Inside, you’ll be greeted by an uncluttered black-and-brown two-tone dashboard, while leather-like upholstery adds a touch of luxury.

The Elevate is feature-rich with amenities such as an electric sunroof, a 10.25-inch touchscreen system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wireless phone charger, and a 7-inch semi-digital instrument cluster.

Safety feature!

Safety features on the Elevate SUV include six airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control (AT only) and ISOFIX child seat mounts. Radar-based ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and high beam assistant also ensure active safety.

Powertrains

The Elevate is powered by City’s 1.5-litre petrol engine, producing a similar 121 hp and 145 Nm. This engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and a CVT automatic transmission, the latter also equipped with paddle shifters. Like many contemporaries in this segment, Honda’s SUV will not be offered a diesel engine. Honda could also later offer its 1.5-litre engine with Strong Hybrid technology, as seen in the City Hybrid.

Honda Elevate global launch on tomorrow

June 5, 2023

Here are five things to know about Honda’s upcoming Creta rival.

The Honda Elevate is set to be unveiled worldwide tomorrow, finally marking the Japanese automaker’s entry into the mid-size SUV segment. Crucial is the return of the much-anticipated SUV to Honda India’s portfolio since the CR-V was discontinued in 2020. And while the Amaze and City sedans are fairly consistent, there’s no denying he needs an SUV in the automaker’s portfolio given the demand for body styles.

The Elevate becomes the ninth model in the segment and Citroën recently joined the C3 Aircross. Yes, Honda was late to the party, but it did a decent job fending off its competitors as well.

But there are also many expectations. Since Elevate is based in a city, it makes a good base in its own right. Additionally, spy photos suggest the design will be in line with Honda’s global SUV portfolio, including the CR-V and HR-V, with ADAS features and possibly even a hybrid powertrain someday. are doing. Ahead of the global reveal, here are his 5 things to know about Honda’s new Creta rival.

1. Honda Elevate’s styling is in line with brand’s global SUVs

The Elevate will share styling cues with the sixth-generation CR-V and the new-generation WR-V announced at the end of last year. The spy shot features a flat nose with a large Honda logo in the center and LED headlights with a sharp design reminiscent of the new HR-V. The rear is equipped with tail lights similar to the new WR-V. Other important design highlights are the square wheel arches, the unique twist of the rear window and the multi-spoke alloy wheels. In terms of dimensions, the elevator is expected to be 4.2-4.3 meters long, which matches the segment.

2. Honda Elevate’s equipment list will be shared with City

Inside, however, further similarities to the city are to be expected. On the other hand, most of the equipment list will be carried over, and this includes ADAS functionality. In fact, we recently told you that all future Honda vehicles launched in India will have ADAS features. Honda also confirmed a single-pane sunroof for the Elevate in the teaser, which isn’t quite in line with the segment where most competitors offer panoramic sunroofs. Other features could include City’s 8.0-inch touchscreen and semi-digital instrument cluster, wireless phone connectivity, wireless charging, and more.

3. Honda Elevate shares platform and powertrain with City

The Elevate is based on the fifth-generation City platform and also shares the petrol powertrain with the sedan. So the Elevate will be powered by a 121 hp 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual or CVT transmission. City’s 1.5-litre petrol hybrid engine will also be added at a later date, but there will be no diesel.

4. Honda Elevate has its work cut out

Elevate is now entering one of the most competitive market segments that Hyundai Creta has long dominated. These days, the duo of Grand Vitara and Hyryder is also hugely popular, and the C3 Aircross will soon bring the versatility of its three-row seating arrangement to the segment. Even the Kia Seltos will soon get a mid-life facelift with even more equipment and a new turbo petrol powertrain. With top-of-the-line features and plenty of competitive engine options, the Elevate will compete with high-performance SUVs.

5. Expected price and release of Honda Elevate

Following this announcement, Elevate pricing will be announced in August of this year. Given that Honda’s prices are usually slightly higher than its rivals, expect prices to start at around INR 11-12 Lakh (showroom prices). However, since only one petrol engine is offered, the top-end petrol automatic model could cost around Rs 17 lakh (excluding showrooms).

Honda Elevate testing shots leaked from Japan official launch on 6 June

May 31, 2023

After years of silence, Honda Cars India, the Indian subsidiary of Japanese auto giant Honda, is finally entering the highly competitive midsize SUV segment. The company plans to meet this challenge with an all-new Elevate that will make its official debut on June 6th. The test mule for this upcoming SUV has been spotted being tested multiple times in India just days before its launch, another test vehicle was spotted testing in Japan as well, and other important information about the upcoming SUV. Details have emerged.

Honda Elevate Spy Shots

Images of the latest test mule spotted in Japan show that the Elevate has a strikingly similar aesthetic to the recently launched Honda WR-V SUV in the Indonesian market. First, the Elevate has an upright stance similar to the WR-V. Up front, it has a muscular front end that might include Honda’s signature Jewel Chrome finish grille. The headlights will probably consist entirely of LED units, giving the vehicle a smoother and more aggressive look. A strong front bumper further emphasizes the upright position, with fog lights and possibly a silver skid plate.

Another profile photo of the Elevate test car has been shared, showing the SUV with pleasing proportions. These ratios were reportedly set taking into account the Indian market and buyer preferences. It’s worth noting that Honda doesn’t typically test Indian products in its home market of Japan. However, although the Elevate is probably the first model developed for India, it has also been tested in Japan for the global market. Back in the spy shots, you can also see alloy wheels on the side of the car similar to those found on Honda’s city sedan in India. These alloy wheels are finished in black, but there are reports that top-of-the-range models may also come in black or diamond cut. Lower spec versions may have a silver finish.

One of the sharpest spy shots of the rear of this upcoming SUV was also recently shared. A new spy shot of the rear suggests the taillights are likely carried over from the Indonesian WR-V. These tail lights feature a two-piece light with the top LED section extending to the side of the vehicle. Halogen bulbs may be used for backlights and blinkers. In this spy video, the existence of an advanced driver assistance system “ADAS” is also confirmed. A 360-degree camera setup is visible in one of the side mirrors.

Honda recently announced and confirmed that the Elevate will be equipped with Honda Sensing Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) along with all future Honda vehicles launched in India. For those who don’t know, Honda Sensing ADAS is the brand’s suite of safety technologies designed to increase driver awareness and reduce potential hazards on the road. It integrates various sensors and cameras to provide comprehensive functions that improve driving safety.

Honda Elevate Official Date Poster

The Honda Elevate will be equipped with a 1.5-litre gasoline engine that is also used in Honda’s medium-sized city sedan. The engine produces 150Nm of torque and 121 horsepower. However, it is reported that Honda may tailor performance characteristics to the SUV form factor. Depending on the variant, the SUV could have the same CVT or six-speed manual transmission options as the Honda City. Safety features such as Honda’s LaneWatch system, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and the rear-view camera will be installed on the next SUV from June 6th.
