2024 Honda Elevate - 6 Airbags, More kit, Better value | Times Drive English

[@sajalkishore]

Took a test drive last week . The main concern is the rear seat under thigh support. It is rather uncomfortable even in comparison with the cars below its segment.

[@el-diablo_666]

What's ur height.? Im 5'8 and I felt it's pretty good

[@syamKGkarikkasseril]

I felt the driver seat also has poor support

[@sumanthkooloth8105]

It can be bettered aftermarker too right..if all other things are fine with you

[@RahulGupta_Grahul]

I agree. The driver seat has adequate support but rear seats are lacking especially due to inclined floorboard.

[@mohammadayazkhan7442]

I bought a Honda Elevate ZX CVT last month and I am thoroughly enjoying the car. It's the most value for money car in its segment. It's really fun to drive and has all the necessary features which one could ask for. Very happy with my purchase.

[@syamKGkarikkasseril]

I felt it has very poor under thigh support in the segment which is a deal breaker for long distance travellers. Also for those who like automatic cvt is a boring unit.

[@Moonlight-tr7gm]

Bro how's the cabin noise?

[@drivingh]

As a owner of elevate since 6 months there are few things which makes daily driving not easy - 1. Lack of under tigh support in the front seats and lack of foot area this cause pain in the tigh and ankle after long drive 2. please dont take the dual tone as during hot summer - the area around the sun roof area gets super hot in summer even with the sun roof cover you will feel the heat on top of your head while driving and after few hrs both the front passengers will feel the heat and you will be exhuasted after driving. I am not able to find the solution to this and i am disappointed with the lack of engineering skills being executed in this car i was able to improve the under tigh support and lower back support. I took the car to a seat fabricator, and he added extra firm foam in the under tigh area and lumbar support area now the seat feels like a recliner. I am very happy with this solution.

[@surajyadav1255]

What's your height? and how exactly did the seat fabricator improved the comfort?

[@drivingh]

@@surajyadav1255 Hello Suraj he added a firm foam in the area below the tigh and in the lumbar area at your lower back , the hip area was un touch ! I am a handicap person with my left leg an inch short , I am thinking of going to consumer court and file a complain for the poor engineering as I am still not yet comfortable my ankle , knee and tigh are feeling stress. I have got done the technical measurement by using a laser measurement device and created a technical drawing showing how the dimensions are wrong

[@predatorprey8656]

I own the Zxcvt and recently drove to Simla, in peak summer day with full healthy 5 passengers 😅. Trust me, there was absolutely no lag of power or cooling and it was sheer drive pleasure even on the sharpest curves and steep inclines. Just pure pleasure 😇

[@utkarsh007]

how about it's mileage when you drove to hills?

[@surajhk31]

How was the middle passenger able to sit at the back??

[@travelhacksbynick]

Why not remove the awkward hump in the rear middle row. Remove that and forgod sake stop putting ac resr units blocking legs of middle row passenger. Innovate a bit. Put rwar ac on the side or rear up. Or atleast rear ac should be aligned to the front seats not bulging out taking space at the rear. Indians need space for proper 5 people. And if you can’t do it, bring 7 seater br-v to india asap. Its safe 7 seater with mileage we don’thave that. Ertiga is 3 star safety or alternative like xuv has 6-7 mileague. Innova hybrind is 25 lacks plus. Br-v under 20 provides safety and mileague. Unique product bring it in honda keep prices low and boom you will be market leader in atleast 1 segment.

[@surajhk31]

True about that hump. Even city has it. Idk what they are thinking..if they are adding headrest in the middle, they should remove that hump and make it flat

[@Gamerlegend999]

People are complaining about this NA engine that it is not Turbo,it doesnt have powerand this and that,blah blah blah,i want to Tell that Hyundai Creta NA petrol engine is 1500 Cc and Only 115BHP,well Honda elevate is 121 BHP, and they are not crying about Creta but are crying for 121 BHP elevate 🤣🤣

[@bitpat81]

In creta , people do have options of NA petrol, turbo Petrol and even Diesel engines. Based on choices, any variant can be purchased. Then why should people complain? Here in Elevate, only single Engine option is available and that too Petrol NA

[@jairajarora7933]

Yes almost 90-95%, sales of petrol are of NA engine in both Creta & Seltos! However, they do not disclose sales break-up engine wise! So all these talk of lack of choice of turbo is quite unnecessary!

But you get more refined petrol engine in the Creta plus you get better nvh levels😂

I heard cabin noise is more.... anything done to rectify?

Thats true. I had taken a test drive of the automatic top variant couple of days ago and the cabin noise was too much to be a deal breaker for me .

Elevate starts with 11.5 lakhs which is very good pricing considering Honda refined engine good mileage reliability buy n forget for next 15 years

[@kalyannnBH]

Silently Honda will improve the NVH also by attaching more sound dampening sheets.

[@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.

[@laxmisharma840]

Same I driven Elevate, creta, GV, NEXON. THEY ARE REALLY CONFUSING. BUT WE ARE FINALISING EITHER GV OR NEXON BRO❤❤ LOT OF FEATURES ARE THERE.

[@chandansingh8041]

Bro even I am confused as you as did not find anything promising at this price..😢

[@JatinGupta28-007]

Why elevate sales are dropping day by day?? I remember it started with 5k units then 3k around January and now dropped to 1700 units a month!!! Lack of features and single engine option deviating customers to rivals🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@Anand_Girhe]

Becoz in India people like shit

[@madhukarsaxena5310]

might be because its a 4 seater, 3rd person cannot sit at the back, there is a huge hump on the backseat

[@JatinGupta28-007]

@@madhukarsaxena5310 No I don't think so that is the reason. I feel lack of features like ventilated seats, all 4 disk breaks, electronic parking break, electric adjustable seats, 360 camera, panoramic sunroof, single engine option could be the reason. Also poor marketing.

[@anujbajpai3159]

@@JatinGupta28-007 it has the most uncomfortable back seat for 3 people. I was so much interested for this car but after checking the comfort dropped my plan to buy elevate. My elite i20 has better rare seat then elevate for middle passanger.

NVH levels?

[@sachinmogha5168]

any though on comparing it with xuv 3xo ax5

[@paulm.k.8740]

How will it be on rough, ghat roads? A little more torque would have done it a world of good, wouldn’t it? Cooled seats could have been the icing on the cake!

[@manajeetpatil3994]

Why can’t it provide all 4 disc brakes. Most important safety feature. How fast 0 to 100 is not important. How fast you can stop from 100 to 0 is important. Sunroof is a useless feature.

[@gamersvalley]

Stopping is dependent on front brakes and front are disc and braking of this car is best in its segment. You can check braking comparison in motobeam

[@Lakshmidasaa]

sunroof is a useless feature for you, but I'm from kerala, when we travel in tourist destination like munnar and forests its best to have sunroof ..

[@chandrahasan9643]

Breaking performance of elevate is still better than all 4 disk cars in this segment.

[@gowherulislam5480]

Sunroof is an added advantage in kashmir valley, here we hardly need AC cooling

honda is in reverse gear. Models are going out of production and no new engine options. Same 2 decade old engine and 2-3 cars on sale

[@RG-ct6qz]

That's exactly what I want - a proven engine. Not the crap from Kia and Hyundai.

[@chandrahasan9643]

If it works, dont change. Thats how you get reliability.

[@huntrz]

They do sell turbocharged engines in other markets like thailand. They plonked 1.2 NA engine in WRV and wanted it to compete with 1.5L engines of ecosport and brezza and turbo engines of Hyundai. As expected the product sank without a trace. When everyone was producing 1.5NA then it was the best. It is still good but not the best.

[@bloojeens]

Beg to differ sir. I just clocked 15k since oct 23 on my zxcvt This engine is a powerhouse. I have done long travels on this. The sheer power it offers whn the need arises is no match. The reliability is just unmatched. I have topped 135 kmph speeds regularly and felt so much in control. Glad I bought this over creta, kia...

[@huntrz]

@@bloojeens among N.A. engines it is surely the best. No match for turbo charged ones.

[@TechiesLife]

Instead of giving small sunroof they could have provided ventilated seats. Also flat back seats so that 5 members can be seated.

[@FaizanulIslam-ww6ib]

Driving manual zx for past 4 months on highways and city, never faced any discomfort. I am heavier built than most people so not sure why people crib about under thigh support and highway comfort. I drive for 8 hrs non-stop frequently by the way.

If Honda had provided just 6 features - 1) Panoramic Sunroof 2) Ventilated seats 3) TPMS 4) Connected tail lamps 5) Air Purifier 6) 360 Degree Camera in VX and ZX variant…or may be another Zx+ variant Elevate would have surpassed Seltos and Creta for sure !!! Mind my words, These features are now much needed and demanding !

They can't sell in this competative price then

[@Anand_Girhe]

What is the price of the new elevate on road or how many money increased

[@mandalmanit]

I booked the without “middle head rest” 7 days back, it was 18.76 lac. Now if you go with the latest update shown in the video - price would be more by 1 lac. Dealers are giving good discounts on the earlier versions but not on the new one.

9.5 km/L in Guwahati city

[@milindabhyankar5219]

Nice location. Very loud music..

[@jairajarora7933]

While the changes r welcome & much needed, however, some basic features need to be added like TPMS (even smaller cars r giving it from base version), rear charging points, 360 degree camera in ZX version, normal cruise control in VX model & improved NVH levels/ better cabin insulation. Panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats & Turbo engines r not essential in my view! Above features could hve been added with last 2 price increases but Honda missed the opportunity! Elevate otherwise is a wonderful car with a good engine, reliability & safety!! It has a potential to raise its sales to atleast 5000-6000 units per month (While Creta sells over 15,000 units but for all its 3 engine options i e. NA, Turbo & Diesal) provided Honda is really interested in being a serious player in SUV space & nimble footed to adapt to customer preferences!! Hope Honda listens!!
