With the onset of India’s festive season, Honda Cars India has refreshed its Elevate SUV to attract buyers seeking style, comfort, and advanced features. The updated Elevate brings more personalization, premium appeal, and a dash of excitement to the mid-size SUV segment.
Key Upgrades and Highlights
– The Elevate now offers three interior themes: Tan, Ivory, and an all-Black option exclusive to the Black Edition.
– New Ivory leatherette seats and soft-touch inserts have been introduced for the top ZX grade, creating a brighter and more inviting cabin.
– An optional Alpha-Bold Plus Grille gives the SUV a stronger road presence, available as standard in the Signature Black Edition and as an accessory in other variants.
– A 360-degree surround camera and seven-colour ambient lighting are now available for top variants.
– New Crystal Black Pearl exterior shade has been added, further expanding customization choices.
Fresh Interiors and Enhanced Comfort
The ZX grade leads the pack with its luxurious dual-tone Ivory and Black interiors, plush seating, and visually softer look. Buyers of other variants—V and VX—now enjoy upgraded black fabric seats with ivory inserts, replacing the earlier beige finish. These changes are designed to offer everyday comfort and elevate the driving experience for families and urban commuters alike.
Bold Styling, New Black Editions
For those seeking a sportier exterior, the Black Edition and Signature Black Edition infuse the Elevate with a sense of drama. The Black Edition features striking black bodywork with chrome or silver highlights, while the Signature Black Edition amps up the aggression with full blacked-out styling and the Alpha-Bold Plus Grille as standard. Both Black Editions come with all-black premium interiors and customizable lighting to match the mood.
Expanded Features and Safety Suite
Honda continues to equip the Elevate with its reliable 1.5L i-VTEC petrol engine, offered with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed CVT automatic. While no changes have been made to the powertrain, new features add value:
– ZX grade now gets the advanced Honda Sensing suite with adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, collision mitigation braking, and more.
– All variants come with core safety features, including six airbags, vehicle stability assist, traction control, hill start assist, ISOFIX mounts for child seats, and a multi-angle rearview camera.
– Honda Connect app now offers a five-year free subscription, with over 37 connected car features, enhancing convenience and peace of mind.
Warranty and Ownership Perks
Every Elevate continues to offer a three-year unlimited kilometre standard warranty, extendable up to ten years, along with comprehensive roadside assistance. These extensive after-sales benefits, combined with the new festive upgrades, are targeted to make the Elevate an even more compelling option for families this season.
Market Position and Festive Strategy
Honda’s timely refresh comes as competition intensifies in the mid-size SUV space, with rivals like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara also vying for attention. The focus on visual upgrades, refined interiors, and modern tech underscores Honda’s efforts to keep the Elevate fresh and relevant, aiming to draw in buyers seeking festive deals with a premium feel.
Prices and Variants
– The Elevate range starts from INR 12.39 lakh for the V variant, climbing to INR 14.13 lakh for VX, and topping out at INR 15.51 lakh for the feature-rich ZX Ivory grade (all ex-showroom, Delhi).
