Honda Elevate Specifications

Honda entered the highly competitive compact SUV segment, albeit much later than its rivals. Nevertheless, the Elevate has managed to create a niche for itself owing to its spacious cabin, imposing design, and a decent-packed feature list. That said, there’s plenty the compact SUV misses out on when compared to segment leaders, the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and the like. It’s also available in a single engine with power from the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a CVT automatic.

New-Gen Honda Amaze

The Honda Elevate is the brand’s second bestselling model after the Amaze, which has seen a complete overhaul with the third-gen model. The new sedan gets visual upgrades with an Elevate-inspired front and a City-inspired rear. Honda has also improved cabin space on the new Amaze while the boot capacity has increased by 34 litres to 416 litres.
