For buyers stepping into Honda’s compact SUV range, the Elevate facelift arrives at the same ₹11.80 lakh ex‑showroom price, so the cost‑to‑value ratio stays unchanged. The 1.5‑litre petrol engine, still producing 119 bhp and 145 Nm, is paired with a six‑speed manual or a CVT, giving you the same driving experience as the outgoing model.
The facelift brings a handful of convenience upgrades that matter on the road. A factory‑fitted 360‑degree camera, eight‑way power driver seats, four‑way passenger seats, and front‑and‑rear parking sensors make parking in tight spots easier. A PM 2.5 filter helps keep cabin air cleaner, while rear‑seat ventilation adds comfort for rear passengers. Higher trims keep Honda Sensing ADAS and six airbags, and the updated interior theme gives a fresher look without a major overhaul.
Pricing shifts are modest. The SV stays at ₹11.80 lakh, VR nudges up to ₹12.29 lakh, VX to ₹13.93 lakh, and the standard ZX to ₹15.39 lakh. The only real jump is the new ZX+ at ₹16.80 lakh, which bundles the premium features at a higher cost.
Visually, the changes are concentrated at the front. A larger black grille with three segmented light bars replaces the old design, and the bumper gets new detailing around the lower lamps. New alloy wheels and a fresh Nordic Fest Pearl paint option add a touch of novelty, but the body shape and boot space—458 litres—are unchanged.
The facelift is already available off‑the‑shelf in Delhi, with a staggered rollout planned for other metros. Test drives are open, and buyers should ask dealers for a variant‑wise feature sheet and the on‑road price for their state in writing. Keep an eye on whether Honda will introduce a hybrid or electric version in the next cycle, as that could shift this segment’s dynamics.
