Overview
- The Elevate, which Honda will launch Tuesday, October 6, has opened refundable pre-bookings at authorised dealers and been previewed in company teasers.
- Teasers show a noticeably bolder exterior with a bonnet-mounted Honda badge, segmented LED daytime-running lights, a redesigned grille and a connected full-width rear LED treatment.
- Honda has signalled interior upgrades including more soft-touch and leatherette trim, ambient lighting and revised upholstery to lift cabin feel over the current model.
- Reports say select trims could gain ventilated front seats, a factory-fitted 360° camera and other convenience items while the Honda Sensing Level 2 ADAS suite remains on higher variants.
- Powertrain continuity is expected with the same 1.5‑litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and manual/CVT options produced at Honda’s Tapukara plant, leaving the facelift’s appeal focused on added equipment rather than new drivetrains.
