Elevate
The Elevate bets on Honda's refined 1.5 i-VTEC, ADAS across most trims, and class-leading ground clearance rather than gimmicks. It is honest, roomy and easy to drive — just not exciting.

▲ 10The suspension is tuned too soft. There is a lot of body roll around corners, and the car floats and bounces on wavy highway roads, making rear passengers feel car-sick.

▲ 15The NA petrol is smooth and adequate in city, but feels flat and underpowered when fully loaded on the highway. You have to rev it hard to make quick overtakes.

▲ 8The petrol turbo engine has got genuine punch. The CVT transmission shifts are lightning-quick and smooth. Extremely fun to drive on open highway stretches.

▲ 13The waiting period for the popular variants is ridiculous — dealers are quoting 4 months and forcing you to buy overpriced accessories and insurance from them to get early delivery.

▲ 233Really love the refined, proven 1.5 na petrol on the Elevate. It makes the daily ownership experience so much better. Highly recommend it!

Interactive Dimensions
Scale & Road Footprint
Elevate blueprint — tap any metric to see how it compares in the compact suv class.
Wheelbase (2,650 mm)
On the Elevate, the wheelbase is 40 mm longer than the segment median. Rear-seat space is a step above average for the class. A longer wheelbase also reduces pitch over potholes and speed breakers.
Automobile Literacy
Jargon-Free Safety & Tech
What all those complex brochure codes actually mean in plain, practical terms.
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) & VSM
Emergency Anti-Skid. If the vehicle senses a loss of traction (like on wet mud or when swerving to avoid an obstacle), it automatically applies brakes to individual wheels to keep you on your steered path. Essential for safety.
HAC (Hill-start Assist Control)
Roll-back Prevention. When starting the vehicle on a steep slope (like a flyover or basement mall ramp), it holds the brakes for 2 seconds after you release the pedal, giving you time to move your foot to the accelerator.
6 SRS Airbags (Standard)
Full-Cabin Cushioning. Protects all occupants in case of an impact. Includes two front airbags, two seat-mounted side airbags, and two curtain airbags that shield front and rear passengers' heads from side window impacts.
All-Wheel Disc Brakes
Consistent Stopping Power. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes dissipate heat quickly, preventing brake fade. They stop the vehicle shorter, more predictably, and with far less foot pressure.
Star Map LED DRLs & Headlamps
Advanced Night Vision. LEDs throw a much whiter, wider, and brighter beam than yellow halogens, reducing eye fatigue during night highway runs. Star Map running lights make you highly visible to oncoming traffic.
