This car seriously deserves more attention than it gets 💯

[@NewsXAuto]

True!

[@entername3840]

No it doesn't.. I drove the city and elevate and I have to say city is the best out of two and elevate feels over priced for what it is giving also its speed is locked as well. So that is why this car is struggling nothing wrong with the vechicle but the competition is much better

[@JGeorge_c]

Hybrid is what still honda should bring

[@NewsXAuto]

@@JGeorge_c And they would. They already have the City Hybrid...

This car is a perfect upgrade from any under 10 lakh rupees car. Apex Edition CVT is amazing.

[@Astrrophel]

I think this is definitely the best driver’s car in the segment with an NA engine, the apex edition makes the cabin feel a lot more premium as well, proper classy interiors. Just wish they’d offered it with the top ZX trim (mainly for the auto dimming IRVM which unfortunately is limited to the top trim) Good video btw!

[@NewsXAuto]

@@Astrrophel thank you so.much ❤️

[@anshulnow]

So whats bottom line verdict ? Say for top model apex etc 18-19 lakhs worth it in comparison to other players ,creta,seltos,etc? Im an all out honda guy btw 😊,so probably will end up buying it anyway,just curious about the nvh levels in city as well as highway!! City n brio both do have the nvh levels after my 6 year experience so just skepical on that parameter.thank you.

[@Mr.Coffee576]

Do you miss the feel of the manual every time you drive the CVT ? I'm planning to get the Elevate CVT and I'll be driving mostly in city but I dunno it will be fun enough on highways.

[@NewsXAuto]

@@Mr.Coffee576 bang on! It's not even half as fun as the manual Elevate!

[@Mr.Coffee576]

@@Mr.Coffee576 Yessss!

[@PrasannaJadiya28]

How's the headlight performance on real highway roads with uneven roads and no street lights? Given that it has white LEDs, I am curious to know. The dealerships don't offer test drives after 6pm and hence it becomes difficult to know.

[@NewsXAuto]

Have made that video too! Check it out 😃

[@MrRockstarlad]

Bhai I am planning to buy its top model, but the rear seat seems like issue. The bump right in the middle of the seat, its just very uncomfortable and a bad design

[@HarshKumar-wm6kk]

Hello brother, I am planning to buy ZX model cvt. Brother, I have seen many reviews of this car and some customers have complained that the headlight of this car is not that good. Please reply brother, I am considering this car and it will also be my first car.

I have made a separate headlight video too! Please check it out first 😃

[@gauthamsreekumar1298]

Useful info out there bro. If u can pls do upload the in gear acceleration of the cvt between 20-60, 40-80, 60-100 . Acceleration from a dig is overrated and pointless and tht is what the majority of reviewers test out

[@NewsXAuto]

@@gauthamsreekumar1298 yaar I wanted to do that but just couldn't get the opportunity. The car has gone back. For now, you will have to be content with the usual zero to hundred runs (upcoming video). However, what sets my runs apart is the fact that I do it at exactly the same stretch for all cars and bikes! So you can compare the timings and get a fair idea about the performance 😃

[@jairajarora7933]

Thanks for this much awaited review of Elevate CVT! While this RPM run re-confirms in ample measure about Honda I-VTEC engine being best in class in NA, however, I suppose you wud be uploading a detailed drive review with your assessment of making a decision in favor of Elevate? Thanks so much❤

[@NewsXAuto]

@@jairajarora7933 Yaar actually no. Coz the only difference is the gearbox. And, yes, the fuel efficiency as well, which I will mention in the pinned comment next week when I write the review article for our newspaper. In fact, will share THAT review in community posts 😃

[@jairajarora7933]

@@NewsXAuto Based on your personal assessment of both cars, what would you recommend to buy between Creta IVT petrol S (O) Vs Elevate ZX CVT? I have been driving a Creta automatic petrol (2018 SX) for more than 6 yrs.....very reliable, comfortable with no issues BUT poor mileage of 8-8.5 in city (Ggn) & 14 on highway & suspect build quality?

[@NewsXAuto]

@@jairajarora7933 I have been asking Hyundai for a media unit for quite sometime now. Goli de rahe hain comms waale bhaisaab. But hopefully mil jaani chahiye gaadi in the next couple of weeks. Phir batata hun 😃

[@jairajarora7933]

​@@NewsXAuto Shiraz yesterday I did a test drive of Creta 2024 IVT SX & observed that the outside noise above 80 kmph is similar to that of Elevate? So I am a little confused & wonder as to why cabin insulation of Elevate is an issue but not that of Creta with most reviewers? Others who have done test drive of both (driving between 80 to 100 kmph as one really does not drive beyond that on most Indian highways) could also opine about it? Moreover an expert reviewer like you could assess it fairly once you get a petrol IVT for drive review? Lastly, in test drives, personally I found the performance of Elevate CVT much better than Creta IVT (Just to clarify, currently I drive a 1.6 Creta petrol automatic since 2018)

[@NewsXAuto]

@@jairajarora7933 I can only comment once I have driven the Creta, Jairaj 😃

[@gamerboss_7274]

Could you make a top speed run just to see how noisy it gets, because from what ive heard cvt makes more noise than it generates pace

[@NewsXAuto]

Have recorded an acceleration run as well. That will answer your question. Should be able to upload it in a day or two.

[@abhi21pura]

Hi shiraz, please can you try to do the same with Creta IVT, would love to see how Elevate and Creta/Seltos perform at 120 on highways

[@NewsXAuto]

@@abhi21pura done deal! The moment I get it from Hyundai. Kaafi dino se goli de rahe hain unke comms waale bhaisaab...

[@rupeshnanal1574]

Imagine Honda elevate I-Vetch with Turbo and NA with Hybrid options. Imagine impact on sale and competition. Definitely Elevate is quitter with linear acceleration I think below 2800-3000 Rpm. Sudden throttle with high revs over 3000 rpm will give more noise than competition. Please give your opinion. Also tell us about drag race vs XUV 3XO, Creta NA as I saw It can beat seltos diesel easily.

Have been asking Hyundai for it for over a year now.

Shiraz Bhai - Elevate CVT or Kushaq 1lt TC ?

Tough choice as both are lovely vehicles. I would go with the Kushaq as it's way more entertaining to drive. But, the Elevate has better ride quality. I would recommend the Honda for a family person...

I have a Magnite CVT. Can you please advice on how to drive it in slow moving traffic? During red lights even if I have to stand for 10 secs, I shift the gear to N and engage the handbrake. Should I continue doing this or should I just keep it in D and keep the brakes pressed with my foot? Will it be bad for the car if I change gear from D to N too often?

[@NewsXAuto]

@@Kard11 Torque Converters and CVTs are true automatics and can be left in D at stop lights. And, no, shifting to N too often does no harm to any gearbox 😃
