Honda has finally entered, or shall we say re-entered (remember the BR-V?) the mid-size SUV segment with the Elevate. It faces some exceptionally strong competition from rivals that have had an eternity in terms of lead and experience. But can Honda play to it's strengths and make a mark with the Elevate? Gavin d'Souza finds out.

Well some gizmos like a 360degree camera help a lot in parking / manoeuvring through tight spaces preventing scratches. Your hard earned money should be completely worth it if there were some good gizmos on top of the basics right? USB C is at present a basic. What’s your take?

@@aaronderyl I understand your perspective, and it’s true that having gizmos and advanced features can be appealing. However, from my experience, I’ve found that the fundamentals of a car play a more significant role in overall satisfaction. If the basics like ride and handling , comfort, and reliability are not up to par, buyer’s remorse can set in easily. Regarding the 360-degree camera, I feel that it may not always be as useful as expected, especially in this catagory where the resolution is not up to par. The edges turn up so vague that it does more harm than good. In most cases, relying on rearview mirrors might be more practical when making tight maneuvers. Premium cars with high-resolution 360-degree cameras do offer a better experience, but in the case of this category, a rear camera may be more than sufficient. The only feature I miss are electrically adjustable seats with multiple adjustments. Not even the ventilated seats so much. Honda have some of the best air conditioning in their cars so sort of negates the need for ventilated seats.

Being a Honda City 5th Gen ZX CVT owner and considering to add a mid-size SUV to my garage, I was looking forward to the strong hybrid option for Elevate and a couple of features like ventilated seats with power adjustments and electronic parking with auto hold. Panoramic sunroof is not a miss for me as I as I do not open the sunroof at all but the rest does matter!!

Fantastic and a very sensible review by Gavin! Honda checks a lot of lists - 220MM ground clearance, comfort, spacious, large boot and proper Honda driving dynamics. I wish they could elevate the interior a bit(it's time Honda upped the luxury quotient!) Also missing are 360 degree camera(immensely useful in crowded cities and parking spots), memory seat function and cooled seats. I can let go of the panoramic sunroof, but other than that a very compelling SUV. Honda needs to price it correctly if they want to compete in this increasingly overcrowded segment.

Gavin, I'm jealous of you. Your delivery is natural, with every section flowing seamlessly to the next. The attention paid to Hondas of the past and how Elevate is a "back to form" for Honda is done incredibly well. You've painted a nice story with this review. Brilliant review for a brilliant (potentially COTY?) car. Also, kudos to the camera work. It's either that the Elevate really does look pretty good, or the camera work has flattered it immensely throughout the video.

All is perfect but for a few major omissions - ventilated seats, no interior LED lights, no rain sensing wipers from the City and 360 degree camera system, USB C ports. But they got the fundamentals right. It's spacious too. But it's time Honda gives an option to turbocharge that 1.5L engine.

Hi, I am planning to buy the ZX CVT but I'm just worried about ADAS's CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking system). My usage in the city and typical congested Indian city condition.. bumper to bumper traffic. I am worried about the system giving false warnings or warning it think is correct & then applying strong brakes. Worried about rear collision. Turning it off each time is impractical. Please let me if in your tests you found it to be problem or the system is good and not very intrusive to create a problem. Thanks

Value proposition through mild hybrid can really push their sales high. There is still a craze for Honda but the company is not realising this fact. Few points if they keep in mind, they can still flourish in the Indian market (both the youth and the mid-aged professionals) 1. Panoramic sunroof 2. Strong/mild hybrid (especially the mileage) 3. Pricing (see that they fit inline with Hyundai and Tata segments) 4. 360° camera (a car like Baleno offers that man).

The car looks good, interiors look comfortable and elegant, and as per the review the ride and handling is spot on. If petrol is the preferred option, this is a no brainer then, unless Honda price it exorbitantly. The lack of some features maybe a disappointment for some, but it packs in everything needed.

This is indeed an interesting car. Given the miss in features and lack of turbos, I hope the pricing is sensible. Its truly surprising that Honda, which has some great turbos in other markets chose not to go down that line... I'm a little skeptical on the features front too, where the Kia's and Hyundais and MSIL's have a good play

Car looks absolutely great and seems like it’s sorted dynamically. The engine isn’t the quickest around but is proven and very reliable. Should be a no brainer for people looking at a commuter car.

This car will be a hit in the lower varients for sure seeing how loaded the city comes in lower spec models

Do compare between Elevate and Kushaq, because we need to know which one is VFM?! And which one is to buy for long term?😊

Hats off to Gavin for such a brilliant review. No nonsense and straight to the point. You perfectly highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the Elevate. Now about the car, i really like the design. Tall, upright and boxy, makes it seem more SUV than anything else in the segment. The interior also looks amazing and well built. And i don't mind the missing gizmos since majority of them are unnecessary or impractical. It's got all the basics covered. And Honda can add some of those missing features in the name of a facelift if they want to. I am really happy to hear that Honda didn't lose out on the fundamentals. Proven 1.5 IVTEC engine, brilliant ride and handling, steering feel, proper SUV like ground clearance, visibility and driving position. And being a Honda, it will also be reliable, safe and provide a fuss-free ownership. My only gripe is the lack of a turbo petrol/strong hybrid but they can do it later if they want to. Pricing is going to be the key and if Honda can price it under 17 lakhs or lower, it will turn out be a great proposition in the segment. Anything above that 17 lakh mark is going to be a bit of a gamble. I hope that this car sells in good numbers and it will help pull Honda out from the trouble they are in right now.

As a wrv owner and a Honda fan. Believed me I’m very hesitant to say that this was underwhelming as I was waiting to upgrade since last year. The power train is a dealbreaker.

i m not a fan of autocar but still i always appreciate the intros of them. for any model they introduce it with what the product owners wants to tell to the customers. later they review it. Appreciate the effort first then feedback pattern is always good.

Good job Gavin.❤. Well my take would be Honda has done a decent job with the Elevate. The interiors are good, the looks are butch, but lack of a turbo charged engine is disappointing even as an option.

The cabin looks incredibly luxurious...honda has entered this segment at the right time when petrol is claiming market share from diesel powertrains...a 7 seater based on the Elevate would compete directly with the XUV and Hycross

Good job Autocar India, Well presented Gavin. What's the NVH like ? Hope that is covered in the full review. The City isn't the best at shielding road & outside noise compared to its rivals although it has a refined engine.

Thank you. And yes, road and wind noise suppression is very good but the engine gets very noisy when you wring it out (which you will most likely do on the highway).

@@thurules yes, although mine is 3rd gen and current/5th gen reviews also suggest the same. I'm not saying the experience is bad but it's not the best especially on a relative basis.

Thats yet another brilliant review by Gavin. Equally brilliant was the car being reviewed. It was a shame that Honda didn't have a car in the hot mid SUV segment and they had to wait so long. But though late to the party, what an entry!! With strong fubdamentals and matching looks and a feel of solidity I think Honda has a winner in Elevate. This sure is going to elevate the game to the next level in mid SUV segment.

Very good review, said everything. I wish if there were the deisel engine to power this one. It is extremely frugal and powerful at the same time. As far as the competition is considered this is really a step down in terms of features, and not to forget people are considering their cars as their 2nd home. Even tata motors is updating their small offerings with class leading features. As a honda the safety rating is expected to be better than that of koreans. Next thing that is about to disappear from hondas stable might be the city.
