Premium Look
The most immediate change in the facelift is its front design. Honda has given the Elevate a larger black grille to give the front end a bolder appearance. It also features a new horizontal LED lighting signature, with a design reminiscent of Honda’s global models.
Changes have also been made to the front bumper. New detailing has been added around the lower lamp housing, and the alloy wheels have been revised. However, the SUV’s overall body shape and identity remain unchanged.
360-Degree Camera in the Cabin
Inside the new Elevate, the basic dashboard layout remains the same, but the equipment list has been improved. The most notable addition is a factory-fitted 360-degree camera. This camera displays various views of the SUV’s surroundings on the central touchscreen, making it easier to manoeuvre the vehicle when parking or navigating tight spaces.
Additionally, the top variants come with ventilated seats and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. These features can significantly enhance comfort, especially during long journeys.
1.5-Litre Petrol Engine
Regarding the engine, Honda has not made any major changes to the new Elevate’s mechanical setup. It retains the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine, which generates a maximum power of 121 hp and a peak torque of 145 Nm.
Transmission options include a six-speed manual and a CVT automatic, allowing customers to choose the version that best suits their needs.
458-litre boot and 220 mm ground clearance
The new Honda Elevate retains its practical attributes. The SUV offers 458 litres of boot space, providing ample room for luggage during family use and on long journeys. With a ground clearance of 220 mm, it is well-suited for driving on rough and uneven roads.
