Honda Elevate does not ventilated seats on any of the variants. However, considering that this is an important feature, the Japanese carmaker is now offering a ventilated seat cover as part of the car’s official accessory list.
Priced at INR 6,000, the accessory consists of a cover that is strapped on to the seat. This is powered by a 12V socket and also comes with a massage function. While this is not a proper ventilated seat replacement, it will offer some relief to the occupants as compared to the stock seats with no ventilation function.
The Honda Elevate is available in four variants: SV, V, VX, and ZX, with options for both manual and CVT transmissions. This is excluding the base SV, which is only available with a manual transmission. The SV MT variant starts at INR 10.99 lakh, followed by the V MT variant at INR 12.10 lakh and the V CVT variant at INR 13.20 lakh. The VX variant is priced at INR 13.49 lakh for the MT and INR 14.59 lakh for the CVT. The top-of-the-line ZX variant is priced at INR 14.89 lakh (MT) and INR 15.99 lakh (CVT).
In terms of design, the Honda Elevate boasts a bold and muscular exterior, while the interior comes equipped with modern features, including a 7-inch TFT screen in the instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, and a push-start button. Additional features include rear AC vents, a single-pane sunroof, a wireless charger, and the Honda Sensing suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, auto high beam, and lead car departure mitigation.
Under the hood, the Honda Elevate shares its powertrain with the Honda City sedan, featuring a 1.5-litre four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine. Customers can choose between a 6-speed manual or a CVT gearbox. This engine delivers 121 PS of maximum power and 145 Nm of peak torque.
