Honda Elevate Facelift Launched At Rs 11.80 Lakh

The Honda Elevate facelift has been launched in India at a starting price of Rs 11.80 lakh, ex-showroom. This is the first major update that Honda has given the Elevate midsize SUV since its 2023 debut.

Pre-bookings for the facelifted Honda Elevate opened on October 1. Honda has revised the lighting and grille, added a 360-degree camera and ventilated seats front and rear, and kept the 1.5-litre petrol engine with manual and CVT gearboxes.

Honda Elevate facelift price and variants

The Honda Elevate facelift is offered in five core trims, SV, V, VX, ZX and ZX+. The ZX+ variant is new and is also offered as a Black Edition.

The entry price of the Honda Elevate remains unchanged, but the top end of the range is now Rs 1.94 lakh (ex-showroom) more expensive.

Honda Elevate Facelift - Engine & Gearbox Options

Honda has carried over the 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine from the pre-facelift Elevate to its new facelifted avatar and it still produces 121hp and 145Nm. The Elevate's engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT.

Honda Elevate Facelift - Design, Features & Safety

The facelifted Honda Elevate sports a segmented LED DRL strip above the grille that now connect the unchanged LED headlights. The grille gets a new gloss-black mesh, and the fog lamp housings are finished in body colour. The Honda logo has moved from the grille to the leading edge of the bonnet.

At the rear, a new LED light bar connects the Honda Elevate's tail lamps, while the alloy wheels are unchanged.

Inside the cabin of the Honda Elevate facelift, the big changes come in the form of ventilated rear seats (a segment first), while both front seats are now powered and ventilated. A 360-degree camera and capacitive-touch rear LED reading lamps are also new.

The dashboard drops the faux wood trim for white leatherette padding and stitching. Ambient lighting, previously a dealer-level fitment, is now standard on higher trims. Also carried over are the 10.25-inch infotainment screen, semi-digital instrument cluster, single-pane sunroof, lane watch camera, wireless charger, phone connectivity and six airbags.

Only the CVT variants get an electronic parking brake with auto hold. The Honda Sensing ADAS suite adds adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, again limited to the CVT variants only, while front parking sensors and rear disc brakes are new across the board.
