Honda Cars launched the Elevate SUV on September 4 at ₹11 lakh
Despite aggressive pricing Honda Elevate isn't the most affordable compact SUV in its segment
Elevate's rivals like Creta, Seltos, Grand Vitara, HyRyder and Astor have lower starting prices
However, Elevate will pinch its rivals with the price of its top-end variant at ₹16 lakh
At this price, the Elevate top-end will make even the mid-spec trims of almost all its rivals a run for their money
In fact, the SUV can challenge smaller models like Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet on pricing
The pricing of the Honda Elevate SUV is introductory in nature and many change after the festive season
The SUV comes with a 1.5-litre petrol engine mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a CVT unit
The engine can generate 119 bhp of maximum power and 145.1 Nm of peak torque
