The facelift concentrates on visual and equipment upgrades to close feature gaps with rivals, retaining the existing petrol powertrain.

Overview

  • Honda Cars India has opened refundable pre-bookings for ₹21,000 and will reveal variant and price details at a launch on Tuesday, October 6, 2026.
  • Teasers confirm revised front and rear lighting with segmented LED DRLs, a bonnet-mounted Honda badge and a new grille that together give the Elevate a sharper look.
  • Honda has previewed cabin changes including more soft‑touch leatherette, ambient lighting and reports say factory-fitted ventilated front seats and a 360° camera may appear on select variants.

  • Prices are expected to carry a modest premium over the current model as Honda aims to better position the India-made Elevate, built at Tapukara, against rivals in the ₹12–18 lakh segment.
