Honda Elevate : More details
The front end of the Elevate is dominated by a large grille. The SUV comes with a boxy design as well as slight crossover appeal. Honda has achieved this by using a few design elements. Other features include sleek all-LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs and turn signals.
The interiors of the Honda Elevate consist of a more upmarket design. This is unlike the City or the Jazz. The car comes with a dual tone dashboard. It is finished in brown and black with leather upholstery as well.
The Elevate comes with a sunroof, a large 10.25-inch touchscreen system (with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and more. We can also expect this new Honda SUV to get wireless charging pad and ventilated front seats.
Honda is also offering Honda Sensing – Its suite of ADAS features. This includes automatic emergency braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control, lane assist and high-beam assist amongst others. Other safety features include 6 airbags, ESC, hill hold, hill descent (AT only) and ISO-FIX child seat mounts
Powertrain of the 2023 Honda Elevate
This new SUV is powered by the same 1.5-litre petrol engine from the Honda City. This motor develops 121 PS and 145 Nm. Customers will be able to choose from a 6-speed manual or a CVT automatic gearbox. That said, there is no diesel on offer. Honda could also offer City’s 1.5-litre hybrid powertrain on this SUV at a later date. There is no official word on it however.
