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).

Upcoming Hyundai Exter micro SUV imagined next to a Tata Punch [Video]

May 2, 2023

The South Korean automaker, Hyundai Motor India, has recently released the first design render of its forthcoming micro-SUV, the Exter. With this design render, the company provided a glimpse of what the new SUV may look like. Taking inspiration from the design render, an artist has created a full design render of this forthcoming SUV. The video rendering of the new Hyundai Exter also shows the upcoming car compared to its soon-to-be biggest rival, the Tata Punch.

Hyundai Exter Video – First Look Revealed (Review)

The video rendering of the Hyundai Exter has been shared on YouTube via Bagrawala Designs on their channel. At the beginning of the video, glimpses of the front and rear of the Exter are shown, followed by the entire car. We can note that the artist has incorporated the front fascia design from the render released by Hyundai. As for the rear, it appears that the artist has taken design inspiration from the spy shots of the car that we have seen so far. Another one of the major talking points of this rendered video is that the artist has used the body of the Exter’s elder sibling, the Hyundai Venue. However, in reality, the Exter will be a little smaller than the Venue.

After the solo rendering of the Hyundai Exter, the artist has also created a render of the vehicle next to a Tata Punch as well. The two cars can be seen standing next to each other, giving us a hint of what they could look like in the coming months. It is to be noted that as the Exter in this video uses a Hyundai Venue’s body, the overall design could differ in real life, but for the most part, the size of the Exter will be similar to that of Tata’s most popular micro-SUV, the Punch.

Hyundai Exter Launch Date June 2023 Price Rs 6-10 Lacs

For those who are unaware, the South Korean automaker is planning to launch the Exter in June 2023. The model will take the position as the brand’s most affordable SUV and will be priced in the range of Rs 6-10 lakh. According to reports, the company could be offering the model with a 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine that can generate 83 PS of power and 114 Nm of torque. The standard gearbox offered will be a 5-speed manual, while a 5-speed AMT may also be provided as an option. The higher variants of the vehicle might also come with the option of a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which is already offered in the Venue.

The Exter will reportedly serve as a model for the entire globe, and as a result, the company has been putting it through rigorous testing. Many individuals believe that Hyundai might provide traction-based features like terrain modes to increase the vehicle’s capability, as the vehicle was recently spotted testing in the snow as well. If Hyundai decides to include these features in the Exter, then it will become the most affordable micro-SUV on the market with these features. Along with the Tata Punch, the Exter will be up against the compact SUV C3 from French automaker Citroen and lesser-equipped versions of the Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, and the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Fronx.
