If you're scouting a midsize SUV, the new Honda Elevate will launch on October 6, 2023, priced between ₹12 lakh and ₹18 lakh ex‑showroom, still powered by the same 1.5‑liter, 119‑bhp engine.
That price slot lines up the Elevate directly against the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Seltos, Ford Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder and Tata Sierra – all of which sit in the ₹12–18 lakh range.
Inside, Honda has opted for a lighter interior – swapping the tan upholstery for a white leatherette, trimming slimmer AC vents, and adding ambient lighting across the dash and doors – a subtle shift that should feel more premium without a wholesale redesign.
The facelift brings a 360‑degree camera, a chrome‑bar grille, and a new LED DRL arrangement, while tech additions such as ventilated front seats, an electrically adjustable driver seat, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a premium sound system, front parking sensors, and an upgraded 10.25‑inch touchscreen are expected to appear on the higher trims.
Under the hood, nothing changes: the 1.5‑liter naturally aspirated petrol engine still delivers 119 bhp and 145 Nm, paired with either a six‑speed manual or a CVT, and no hybrid option is on the cards.
Dealers are already taking pre‑bookings for Rs 21,000, so if you want to lock in the lowest variant, act now—just remember to compare the final ex‑showroom price list with the outgoing model before you commit.
