Honda Elevate problems discussed | Detailed review | Pros & cons

Honda Elevate, a compact SUV, is finally introduced in India. By 2030, Honda wants to introduce five further SUVs in India, with this one being the first. In Honda India's range, the Elevate sits above the Amaze.
The Honda Elevate has a brash and powerful appearance. A massive grille with a substantial chrome surround dominates the front fascia. The LED headlights provide a sleek, swept-back appearance. Strong shoulder lines and massive 16-inch alloy wheels define the side profile. LED taillights and a twin exhaust system are featured on the back.
The Honda Elevate's cabin is roomy and nicely furnished. The dashboard has a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system and is tastefully designed. Digital and analogue dials are combined in the instrument cluster. The seats are supportive and cosy. Both front and rear passengers have plenty of headroom and legroom in the Elevate.
A comprehensive variety of features are included with the Honda Elevate as standard equipment.
- Informational touchscreen device with a 7-inch display and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- climate control that is automatic
- cruise control
- sensors for rear-parking
- push-button start
- Keyless entry
- four power windows
- Powered-adjustable mirrors
- EBD and ABS
- Dual airbags
A 1.5-liter, four-cylinder petrol engine with 119 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque powers the Honda Elevate. The 5-speed manual or CVT automatic transmissions are paired with the powerplant.
Performance and fuel economy are well-balanced in the Elevate. It has a top speed of 170 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds. Additionally, the Elevate achieves fuel economy ratings of 15.31 km/l in the city and 16.92 km/l on the highway.
The riding quality of the Honda Elevate is smooth. It absorbs potholes and bumps well. The suspension is calibrated nicely and provides a good compromise between comfort and handling. In constrained locations, the Elevate is very simple to manoeuvre. A subcompact SUV with a superb blend of performance, fuel economy, features, and safety is the Honda Elevate. It is a terrific option for those seeking a sleek, useful SUV at a reasonable price.
The Honda Elevate is priced from Rs. 11.04 lakh to Rs. 16.24 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Compared to the Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun, the Honda Elevate has the following advantages:
Compared to the Kushaq and Taigun, the Elevate has a longer wheelbase and a wider stance, giving passengers greater leg and shoulder room. Additionally, it offers a bigger boot space. The Elevate offers better value for money because to its somewhat reduced pricing compared to the Kushaq and Taigun.
The grille, headlights, and bumper on the 2023 Nexon have all been updated. The headlamps are now sleeker and more contemporary, and the grille is now larger and more imposing. New fog lights and air intakes have been added to the bumper, which has also undergone remodelling.

[@jairajarora7933]

Appreciate the exhaustive review! I think the pros quite outweigh the cons? More than cons, I could emphasize with your anguish & frustration that Honda with a little more application could have produced an outright winner beating Creta/Seltos hollow but failed to do so? While they got almost everything right but for a few important misses in terms some features, cabin insulation, standard 6 Airbags ..... However, I think Creta's city mileage is piss poor ( I own a Creta automatic for last 6 years) & lower than Elevate.....as many readers have already pointed out so it really can't be a "Con" of Elevate!

Just announced 6 airbags in all variants.

[@manishchitre5130]

I own Honda Elevate ZX CVT. I'm super happy with the car. Yes, it NVH levels are 30%-40% more than seltos, creta etc. and engine noise is only when you are overtaking quickly else its butter smooth. I am trying to have rubber binding to doors to see if I can reduce the noise levels by 10-15%. Provided that the car is spacious and comfortable for long drives with family and most importantly you get safety + reliability + good after sales service which no other brand offers at this price range. Having clocked 4500 kms. The ADAS worked completely fine. The drive is effortless and very comfortable with good suspension. Yes, there are cost cuttings and fitting issues + panel gaps in this car. I wish Honda could have fixed it.

And it'a meaningful car with safety adas and lane watch + stability instead of show off. Ty for your interest toward Honda overtaking everyone .tht will only take the price higher😅 An apparantley zx cvt gives more mileage thn an MT

[@autocritic]

Like I said if honda offers a variant above zx with features to match hyundai cars like panoramic sunroof and other fancy features they can pull the few customers back to their showroom who want fancy features, doing this will improve their market share. This way you can still go for zx and be satisfied and others can look for even better option..customer is the king - the more variants and choice you offer the better.

[@tanu123ist]

I own base model and i believe that it offers a great value for money at that price bracket, so completely disagree on that point, rest it's a just few months old, let it's facelift be in market, also 360 camera and pana sunroof are only aesthetic things, no brand offers at this price level, also I don't know why people insist so much on cruise control, if you are lazy enough not to drive your vehicle just hire a driver, and regarding music system dear it's a car to travel not your bedroom with home theater, let things do better what they are supposed to be, a good music system without distraction is required just not to get drives boring, not meant to disco, Elevate is a great product however there are scopes of improvement everywhere, highly recommended

[@autocritic]

I'm glad you enjoy your car and don't think features like this are significant, but since everyone has a different viewpoint, it was necessary for me to address all of these points because I'm addressing a wide range of people. Something that seems minor to you could be major issue to someone else.

[@drsameerminocha]

Creta is giving panoramic sunroof at 16 lakh on road price. Cruise control seems basic when your legs need some rest while driving for long distances. It's not only about enjoying, few features are meant to help and cruise control is one of them.

Drove New Creta and Elevate back to back and trust me when I say this, Creta's cabin feels more premium and upmarket while Elevate doesn't. I mean, look at Elevate's AC vents, flimsy plastic. But I can still deal with it, the biggest let down for me was the NVH. Creta was so silent on 80kmph that one doesn't know if the car has touched that speed. Elevate's NVH was just so much that it could make you feel tired at longer stretches. We can get the damping done yes but who would want a new car to go through it.

At 15.5L V CVT was cheapest and best in segment in Dec’23. (Compare all in the same price and variant including grand vitara ) and real time delhi mileage is 11-12 and on highways 16 . And I don’t think even creta gives more than that.

[@giridhardandamudi5189]

The Honda Elevate zx cvt is the best value for money product with ADAS among the competition. No other manufacturer is offering ADAS in this price range. About brakes.. Even though they haven't offered all disc brakes they are very effective. My previous car was S cross 1.3 with all four discs. Elevate brakes are more powerful.

[@mmindia1234]

a very nice review ! i am not very happy about engine noise and road noise (NVH) in rhe cabin. noise insulation could have been a lot better.

[@srinidhibg]

Honda is a great vehicle...but this elevate is a big let down...not matching in technology terms with its current competitors ... people HV wide range to choose from Kia, creta etc....their base & mid level variants are with exciting proposition.....if Honda has to beat this market, they HV to be innovative , creative & not lazy...just how the Renault duster stole the thunder out of blue wen they launched...Honda can easily do it ...they HV great assets & platform...they HV to be more futuristic & their cars should always be fun to drive with...

[@adarshabadrinath1304]

Well analyzed and balanced. Thank you @autocrtic. NVH is reportedly more..not expected of a premium brand. 360 ° camera and good radar based adas are important safety features that it misses.

[@rajoosolanky780]

You are spot on with your Review on ELEVATE. Honda except for City they have always been offering Step motherly treatments to their models. That's precisely the reason why JAZZ, WR-V,..... were forced to discontinue. Coming to Elevate. Why on earth the did not offer the same feature list as on City. City offers the best & Comfortable Seats but it's not the same on Elevate. Elevate Cabin Insulation also is poor. Engine Noise is too much when from Mid to high when you Rev it hard. To be honest they are forced to offer Elevate. The idea is to get buyer to enter showroom for Elevated & on comparison with CITY they offer you CITY as far Better option. Incase if they they do not offer more or better than competition shortly. Their Elevate Sales will start declining for sure. Its NOW or NEVER. Overall

[@vijuvlogs]

I took a test drive and also checked with the salesman who was very knowledgeable and his words about the compromise in some areas is because Honda doesn't treat this product at the same level as City and this is mid-size SUV so some premiumness will still be maintained in City... They have priced it and provided features to attract customers from its 4.3 m segment of cars

[@anuj28121989]

I own VX model of Elevate. And Driving this car is absolutely pleasure. If compared to other Car in its segment with non turbo engine, the engine of Elevate is bullet proof and much more powerful. No problem in running it to the speed of 150 KMPH and intact asks for more at higher rpm. Another good thing is you don’t need to downshift the gear during the hill drive. And its handling is gold standard (not comparing with German cars which I consider to be best in the category). I agree on lack of features, but features are again depends upon person’s choice. While I prefer comfortable and power drive, other might like interiors to be aesthetic and techno driven.

Good information but I think you missed on mentioning about cabin noise as very much said about it by other reviewers. We must not forget that, despite of having only one engine option, they are selling 5000 units per month. Except Creta and GV, other rival like Seltos having petrol-diesel engines and many variants is not selling very high nos. Also Kushaq, Taigun and Astor having more engine options are far behind than Elevate. This speaks about the trust on the brand like Honda. I believe that it is a very sensible car.

Even in city like Ratnagiri in Maharashtra there wasn't a single showroom or honda service centre or touch points. Days are gone when one used to vouch for honda's quality and reliability, today almost all the car makers make reliable, fuel efficient and safe cars for indian consumers.Honda hasn't come out of their old mindset when they entered Indian market way back in 2000.Still they cant keep up on pricing or features front to compete in the market. Even after entering so late in the segment they have still to learn a lot from other car makers.

Hi, I have been told that because of Honda's Low Sales in India and its service and Parts being expensive, I shouldnt opt for Amaze. Instead go for Venue or Brezza or Creta. I feel Amaze is an amazing Product which lack latest and greatest, however price to performance and value seems to be amazing. Only thing that bothers me is what if Honda Ramps up its service. What if Honda parts become really scares. I currently own a 13 year old Wagon R which has given me hard time (So much for Hyped Maruti Service), however because the parts are so easy to find and cheap to procure, its amazing that way. What should I do. Should I consider buying Amaze CVT which seems to be a good deal or should I stick to Venue. Seems Brezza is freaking expensive and doesnt give me everything I need.

I think you're missing out a point, Honda isn't targeting Creta audience. Honda's are and have always targeted a more sensible crowd. I agree Elevate misses out on gimmick features, but these cars are built to last. My mother owns a Honda City 4th gen and now planning to switch to Elevate. I think it's overall a great long term car.

Have been driving Elevate from 1 month . I feel cabin noise on cemented highways from tires is way too much , i felt as if i got some air pocket stuck somewhere . Elevate is really awesome with driving quality . The D mode in lower rpms has a rubber effect . But the sports mode is really good . The driving seat movement is quite less . The driving feel cause of bonet is beautiful . But Honda could have made this product really good but for some reason they missed the buck ..............I am already Bored from the car though .

[@speedbird109]

Spot on review. Sold Amaze after 5.5 years and was hunting for a good SUV. I hated Honda cars ground clearance. Thigh support also not good. And worse, the V CVT model did not have cruise control. Honda has always treated India as a 2nd or 3rd class market. It shows in their attitude. I waited for the Elevate. Test drove it 4 times. Saw that the V variant did not have cruise control and rear wiper, under thigh support not good, engine noise, power lag - overtaking on hwy would be an issue. VX had a sun roof which we did not want. Except for rear wiper, rest of the missed were present even in VX. Dumped the elevate and purchased Taigun 1.0 TC. Hyundai and Kia - those 2 shiny item numbers were rejected. When I had purchased the Amaze, I had almost argued with the dealer for the absence of cruise control. And still after 5 years same attitude, philosophy. No improvement. Honda certainly is placing the Indian market lower down than others like south east Asia, Europe, US etc.

I m ex owner and fan of 4 Honda cars , I have nt bought them since last 10 years!! Bcoz of unexciting features ,highway comfort , tighter engine feel …

[@sureshpoojary7920]

leg/boot space in rear seat is too good compare to other similar type of vehicle,

If car itne futuristic and futures se bhar jayege then maintenance cost bhi bhandta he and car ka engine reliable ( strong) nahi milta iss bat ko samjhna padega ki engine car ki jaan hota he

What honda is offering on Elevate is best in segment because if u check the price list this is the lowest price car so definitely they cut down the features like Panaromic sunroof, Ventilated seats, Big screen, etc. If u looks creta and Verna it's still feels like Shop of LED lights every where connected lights I personally not like it. If u see in global market they had Turbo charged 1.5 Ltr engines which produce 192 BHP 292 Torque more power than Creta, Kushaq, why they not introduce in India...the reason behind it Indians people still think about mileage...So what is honda is offering in this price points it's actually a value for money. Creta crossed 20 lacs so they have fancy features. After all every car has its uniqueness and good car

I also get 20kmph on highway at decent speed of 80/90

If Honda will outsource it's spare parts then sell will increase. Because it's labour cost is very high. By the way Honda cars are reliable.

The only problem with this is the Dull interior..

My Elevate ZX gave average of 22.5 kmpl on meerut- Delhi Highway

[@vishnukanth6999]

[@Sanjay-bv3dz]

very honest review

[@DeepakSharma-sp8cr]

Elevate good only for 5'10 .. at 6ft.. you can only drive top variant- ZX anything lower-- your knew hits under steering and worse you can't even sit.

[@anuragvr7773]

Clear verdict go for Vitatra

[@roshangulabkiro4887]

Might be Honda is their own way..not as the customer's way

[@yuvrajsinghshrimal1318]

We faced after sales very worst and bad service in one year okd amage .honda service time ,parts unavablity always and all very poor and time tajen service and any time car is breakdown so we cant expect from this old brand this is one of the big reason of honda market lost

[@chetansharma7001]

Japanese brands are cost sensitive they don't want to follow rat race so to compete they offer limited options as per competition , for more options customers won't pay much higher than market

[@jcpjcp4039]

Problems are in every vehicle not only elevate

[@krishnakantverma8706]

Problem with elevate which makes it not value for money 1. Turbo engine missing 2. Feature distribution in varient 3. 360 degree camera 4. Body looks lighter 5. No hybrid 6. Under thigh support .

[@siddharthgupta4625]

Absolutely...all true... One point of engine Noise...u have not mentioned...otherwise all u have covered is to the point. That is why if u remember I always insist that why don't u recommend gv zeta model....which has got all the features without sunroof.... Otherwise like in creta u get all necessary features along with sunroof...moreover gv has good mileage as well...I have also looked into each n every car ...n seems that if u want all basic n necessary features without sunroof ....then only gv zeta model is the one to go for..

[@devkaranbharwad9055]

I m big fan of Honda car. I want to purchase Elevate but there is a missing of Panaromic sunroof. I m comfortable with small sunroof but my children want big one as rival is also providing it. So sorry Honda...

[@scrppr8270]

Safety concern..with Big sunroof

[@pavankumarjet]

Specially for sunroof if u r rejecting , not fair at all.

[@manishchitre5130]

Don't go for Panaromic sunroof because in summers the cabin gets lot of heat and also you will compromise on safety.

[@kingfisher111]

Honda elevate can compete but need 360 view, ventilated seats for now. rest is ok.
