Overview
- Honda launched the mid‑life facelift of the Elevate in India with an unchanged entry ex‑showroom price and a range priced from about Rs 11.80 lakh to Rs 18.40 lakh.
- The update introduces a new top ZX+ variant and adds hardware including ventilated front and rear seats, powered front seats, a 360° camera, wireless charging and enhanced cabin insulation.
- Mechanically the Elevate is unchanged and keeps the 1.5‑litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with a 6‑speed manual or CVT, and Honda’s claimed mileage figures of about 15.3 kpl (manual) and 16.6 kpl (automatic) sit below many segment rivals.
- Pre‑bookings opened with a refundable token and dealers report deliveries have begun, giving buyers more standard equipment for the price but no new powertrain choices.
- Honda says it will bring a locally produced battery electric vehicle and two new nameplates with advanced hybrid powertrains in the 2027 financial year, a plan that keeps open the possibility of future electrified versions of its India models but leaves the Elevate without those options for now.
