If you’re eyeing a new compact SUV, the recent facelift on the Honda Elevate means you pay a premium for a bundle of tech upgrades.
The facelift raises the top‑trim price to ₹18.30 lakh ex‑showroom, up ₹1.94 lakh from the previous ZX+ model. Even the mid‑range V CVT nudges up by ₹2,000, while the base SV MTR stays flat.
New kit includes a 360‑degree camera, rear‑disc brakes, ventilated front seats, rear‑seat ventilation, ambient lighting, and a built‑in air purifier. Safety gets a lift with adaptive cruise control, front parking sensors, and an electronic parking brake with auto‑hold.
In the same price bracket, Tata Nexon and Maruti Brezza offer similar seating and tech, but the Elevate’s new honeycomb grille and body‑coloured fog lamps give it a distinct look. However, the price hike may edge the Elevate out of reach for budget buyers.
Buyers choosing between manual and automatic will notice that the VX CVT and ZX MT share the same ₹15.39 lakh price, while the ZX CVT and ZX+ MT both sit at ₹16.89 lakh. That means you can opt for an automatic or a higher trim without paying extra, but you’ll still be paying more for the automatic.
The facelift went live in early 2024 and is now available across major Indian cities. Keep an eye on test‑drive reviews to gauge the promised NVH improvements before making a decision.
