The Honda Elevate 2025 brings a bold and upright design that reflects the brand’s global SUV DNA while being tailored specifically for Indian roads. Its strong, boxy stance with squared wheel arches, high bonnet line, and clean body lines gives it a more traditional SUV look, making it stand out from curvy crossovers. The front fascia features a wide grille with thick chrome elements, sharp LED headlamps with DRLs, and a sculpted bumper with silver skid plate accents. The sides are clean yet muscular with 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, thick C-pillars, and roof rails that add to its rugged look. At the rear, the Elevate sports LED tail-lamps connected by a light bar, a shark-fin antenna, and a dual-tone bumper finish. Despite its compact SUV footprint, the Elevate offers solid visual mass and road presence, appealing to buyers looking for a tough urban SUV.
Refined 1.5L Petrol Engine with Smooth Manual and CVT Options
Powering the Honda Elevate 2025 is the brand’s reliable 1.5L i-VTEC DOHC petrol engine that delivers 121PS power and 145Nm torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-step CVT automatic gearbox. The engine is refined, responsive, and tuned for everyday city performance as well as highway cruising. The CVT offers smooth gear transitions and minimal lag, making it perfect for traffic-heavy driving, while the manual variant offers more control and better fuel economy. Honda claims a mileage of 16.9 km/l for the manual and up to 18.4 km/l for the CVT version, making it one of the more fuel-efficient petrol-only SUVs in its segment. The suspension setup is tuned for comfort, absorbing bumps easily, while steering feedback is light enough for city use yet stable on highways.
Spacious Premium Cabin with Sunroof and Large Touchscreen
Step inside the Elevate and you’re greeted with a premium cabin that balances elegance with practicality. The dashboard features a clean horizontal layout with soft-touch materials, matte finish inserts, and a neatly integrated 10.25-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system. The system supports wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Honda Connect with over 50 connected features including remote engine start, AC control, geo-fencing, and service tracking. The driver gets a semi-digital instrument cluster with a crisp 7-inch TFT display. Key comfort features include single-pane sunroof, push-button start, automatic climate control, wireless charger, rear AC vents, Type-C fast charging, cruise control, and leatherette seat upholstery in higher variants. With a wheelbase of 2650 mm, the Elevate offers excellent rear legroom, wide-opening doors for easy ingress, and a generous 458-litre boot—making it family-ready for both city and highway use.
Honda Sensing ADAS Suite with Enhanced Safety Features
Honda Elevate stands out as one of the few compact SUVs in India to offer a full-fledged ADAS Level 2 suite via the Honda Sensing system. This includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation, automatic emergency braking, and lead car departure alert making long highway journeys more relaxed and safer. Alongside this, standard safety features across all variants include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, hill start assist, rear parking sensors with camera, ISOFIX mounts, and high-speed alerts. Top variants get 6 airbags, a rear defogger, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. The Elevate is built on Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, offering superior crash protection and improved rigidity, and is Bharat NCAP-ready for upcoming safety compliance.
Pricing, Variants and Honda Trust in India

Prices start at ₹11.58 lakh for the base SV manual variant and go up to ₹16.20 lakh (ex-showroom) for the fully-loaded ZX CVT with ADAS.
