The best Honda Elevate video ever. Love the drone shots as well

[@91Wheels]

Appreciate it!

[@Petrolhead11]

Fun Fact: Elevate CVT revs below 2K even at 100 kmph. Strengths of Elevate cannot be described in brochure: 1.5 ivtec -rev happy linear power with no lag Top notch driving dynamics Perfectly calibrated steering Controlled body roll In short, High on mechanics, low on features (Typical Japanese)

[@poojabhatnagar3878]

2:28 This one is revving around 2.5K on 90Kmph. So, this car will drink some extra fuel.

@@91Wheels Hi I again jumped in to see this video, it's too good. Just a quick question, how much do you rate the braking of Elevate, it does do the job or do you feel 2 more discs should have been there?

[@venbas2]

I have a CVT Jazz as well as manual City. The MT in city was excellent when going on low traffic roads in the ghats on incline or downhill. But the moment you have to do a reverse/correction up on an incline the MT got into lots of trouble leading to a fair degree of tyre burn as the car struggled in reverse gear. The CVT had no problems going up, standing still on hairpin inclines or even whilst reversing on nasty inclines. You have the S mode with Paddle shifters to take care of downhill travel. So overall I would rate the CVT ahead of manual atleast for the hill drives.

Hey, Bunny used the Elevate post the trip for a few days in NCR (Delhi - Gurgaon) and says the AC perf in peak noon was great, if not excellent. His father has a WRV - happy with AC.

Good day, Sir. I would like to inquire about the clutch and gear shift experience of the Elevate clutch. I have heard that the clutch is quite stiff, which may cause fatigue during extended driving. Kindly provide me with some clarification on this matter. Thank you for your attention to this inquiry.

Love the content! In the end, could you pls provide your verdict about the car?

[@91Wheels]

Thanks Sandeep! From a long-distance travel point of view, we were impressed with the Elevate. Some points may be a deal breaker-no diesel, no strong hybrid. Also, with a full load, you miss the punch of a turbo. That said, at this price point, the Elevate is a great package. Check their website for offers up to Rs 55k!

[@raveendhana7084]

Sir on the way to the hatu peak, like just a few kilometes before at the narrow roads , do you even have a space for the on coming traffic? How did you manage ? I also have a elevate but narrow roads am just nervous

[@91Wheels]

The last 6km are narrow at 90% of the places. However, there are tiny little spots where you can squeeze in. The best thing is early morning - also keep windows open as on coming cars honk before a curve - so you know something is coming. Along the way, 10-12 spots with wide parkings available. Issue comes when multiple cars come from both the sides.

[@ucontactrk]

Great video 👍. Sir, is the CVT version also safe and good performance in such hills in general ?

[@venbas2]

CVT is way better than Manual for hill drives

[@cruze86]

Hello Bunny, i hope you have driven both the MT and CVT. I want to know which is more fun to drive for all types of terrain and quicker to overtake on highways? From sand to gravel to snow to mud to rock? From hills to beach?

[@BharatSudhirRastogi]

I want to know that too....

[@91Wheels]

MT any day. CVT is about convenience and easy of driving but if you want pleasure of driving, it has to be the MT. Love the short throws as well

[@techwithshikhar]

Question - what would be the mileage with 4 people and their luggage in the car?

[@91Wheels]

Hi Shikhar - on open roads, as you are mostly cruising, even with a load, mileage should be around 17kmpl at 90km/h

[@huntrz]

whats the pointo f keeping the sunroof blind open on a hot day? I know they are testing it but in a hot country like India sunroof is impractical.

[@91Wheels]

Hey, the blind was open as it makes the cabin airy and was done during taking the driving shots / talking to camera :-)

[@jairajarora7933]

Wonderful video Bunny! Have been wrestling forcquite some time between Creta NA IVT & Elevate CVT due to lack of features like TPMS, Cabin insulation etc.Hoping Honda would add some of these essential stuff soon! I already drive a 2018 Creta petrol AT.....its a reliable car but its poor mileage is surely a concern besides safety! Your views would surely be helpful in deciding?

[@paulm.k.8740]

How would the “Elevate” automatic do in this terrain?

[@91Wheels]

While part throttle response works well and you can chug along traffic, during outright acceleration to overtake traffic uphill, as it is the case with most CVTs, you may need to plan a second or two in advance.

[@Skyther619]

Wouldn’t the planning part be sorted by the use of paddle shifters itself

Without cruise control on Highway mileage?

[@Garg360]

Today, I had my second Honda Elevate test drive of the top model, the CVT ZX. However, I must say that it doesn't feel like a true Honda product; it only bears the Honda name. On rough roads, there is excessive cabin noise, especially in the back. The cabin is spacious enough and can be considered the best in its segment. However, the excessive noise is a major issue. The suspension needs significant improvement compared to market competitors like the Creta and Seltos, as well as accelerator noise while pressing the race pedal. I tried both slow and aggressive driving, but the result was the same. I'm not sure if the test drive model I used had specific issues, but I tried two test drives from different dealerships because the overwhelmingly positive reviews intrigued me. I have to wonder why the Creta and Seltos have had such peak sales performance. While I need a family vehicle for the long term, I don't want to rely solely on a brand name. I test drove the Hyryder, Seltos, Creta, Nexon, and Elevate, all in the petrol segment. However, I was disappointed by their price-to-performance ratio. This segment is particularly confusing for buyers in the 15 lakh price range. In my experience, the Grand Vitara is cheap market garbage for such a premium segment of 15-20 lakhs. I'm still confused about what to buy. If anyone has any good experiences with a good vehicle under 15 lakhs in May 2024, please let me know; it would be a great help.

[@2618263]

Are Bhai Bhai. I have been in the similar issue for the past month. Almost booked Nexon. Won't even consider Maruti. Safety is important and I don't trust Maruti. Looking only for Petrol automatic. Right now I'm confused between Elevate Top model Creta S(O) Seltos HTX Seltos HTK So so freaking confusing.

[@akhandvlogs9728]

Same here Fucking confused

[@2618263]

My final thoughts: Seltos and Creta - I consider both as the same only. Their is are just few minor differences here and there. It's not a practical car when considering the lower price point (Below 20 lakhs) Lots and lots of features in the starting end that you don't need lots of needable features in the higher segments. I didn't feel comfortable driving the car. My head was almost touching the room. Elevate : I loved the ride quality and the engine. The transmition is excellent. It's a tried and tested engine. Road noise does exist but that's okay. It's an SUV it will have noise so does Seltos and Creta but relatively less. Top end is worth considering.
