Honda’s entry into the fiercely competitive mid-size SUV segment had its fair share of sceptics. But with the Elevate, the Japanese carmaker brings a blend of familiarity and fresh appeal. Here are top 5 reasons why the Elevate isn’t just another SUV—it’s a well-thought-out choice for the most Indian buyers under Rs 25 lakh.
The Elevate’s upright stance, squared-off proportions and clean surfacing give it a bold yet mature look. It doesn’t rely on gimmicks to make a point—just solid design that ages well and commands presence on the road.
Inside, the Elevate feels every bit a Honda—neatly laid out, minimal yet premium. The materials used, fit-finish quality, and overall sense of space strike the right chord for buyers seeking comfort and sophistication without unnecessary flash.
Under the hood, Honda sticks to its tried-and-tested 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol. It may not win drag races, but it's butter-smooth, efficient, and built with long-term reliability in mind—paired with a 6-speed manual or a CVT that doesn’t frustrate in traffic.
Unlike many rivals that compromise comfort for stiffness, the Elevate gets its ride and handling spot on. It absorbs bad roads with composure, stays planted on highways, and feels confident around bends—without trying too hard to be sporty.
It’s not just about what’s visible. Honda’s reputation for fuss-free ownership continues here, with easy service, accessible spares, and strong resale. Add a warranty of up to 7 years, and the Elevate becomes a practical long-term bet.
