The Honda Elevate has been officially introduced after a period of speculation. India is the first market to launch this urban SUV model.
The overall dimensions of the car are 4,312 x 1,790 x 1,650 mm (length x width x height), with a wheelbase of 2,650 mm. The size of the Elevate is not much different from other B-segment urban SUV models such as the Kia Seltos (4,315 x 1,800 x 1,645 mm, 2,610 mm) or the Hyundai Creta (4,315 x 1,790 x 1,660 mm, 2,610 mm).
The strength of Honda’s new car is its longer wheelbase and ground clearance of 220 mm.
In terms of design, the Honda Elevate has a somewhat square shape. The highlight of the front of the car is the large hexagonal grille, a relatively small main headlight design with LED bulbs. The rear light cluster has a similar “L” design to the WR-V, with a two-tone lower bumper and a reflector.
The driver’s compartment of the Elevate uses a two-tone brown/black color scheme, with a layout that is not much different from other Honda models. The car is equipped with a 7-inch digital speedometer, and a 10.25-inch entertainment screen in the center that supports wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity.
Under the hood is a 1.5L i-VTEC petrol engine similar to the Honda City. This engine block produces a power output of 119 horsepower at 6,600 rpm, with a maximum torque of 145 Nm at 4,300 rpm. Customers can choose between a 6-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) automatic transmission.
The price of Honda Elevate has not yet been announced. Customers in India can pre-order this B-segment SUV from July. The Honda Elevate will face competition from models such as the Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara…
