<h2>Honda Elevate: Powertrain</h2>

After the price revision, the Honda Elevate ranges from Rs 11.91 lakh to 16.43 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The SUV comes in four variants – SV, V, VX, and ZX.

<p>Honda Elevate is finally available for purchase in&nbsp;Japan under the WR-V moniker.&nbsp;This marks the first time the&nbsp;carmaker&nbsp;exported a vehicle from India to the company's native market, signifying impressive&nbsp;growth for the Indian auto&nbsp;industry.&nbsp;Even though the original WR-V was phased out in India at the beginning of 2023, the name is still widely used around the world. The firm previously revealed its intention to ship the made-in-India&nbsp;Elevate&nbsp;to Japan. For the uninitiated, the&nbsp;exports&nbsp;began in December 2023 with&nbsp;the model&nbsp;officially going on sale in Japan a few days back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sharing his thoughts on the latest launch, Takuya Tsumura, President and CEO, Honda Cars India Ltd. said, “Launch of the 'Made-in-India' Elevate as WR-V in Japan is a proud moment for all of us. This reaffirms our manufacturing potential and the growing importance of Honda Cars India in Honda’s global business strategies. The All-New Honda Elevate has been very well appreciated in the Indian market becoming our key pillar of business. We are confident that we will be able to replicate this success and satisfy our global customers with the best quality and craftsmanship.”</p>

<h2>India-made Honda Elevate: Appearance</h2>

<p><img alt="Honda Elevate Japan Spec" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/03/Honda-Elevate-Japan-spec.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The Elevate has not undergone any visual alterations.&nbsp;It has the same muscular piano black grille at the front with the company's logo in chrome finish. Also, the SUV has stylish LED Daytime&nbsp;Running Lights (DRLs) in addition to the same LED headlight arrangement. In terms of dimensions, it measures 4,312mm in length, 1,650mm in height, 1,790mm in width, and boasts a respectable 2,650mm wheelbase.</p>

<h2>India-made Honda Elevate: Powertrain</h2>

<p>As far as the powertrain is concerned,&nbsp;the automaker has&nbsp;not changed&nbsp;anything. Therefore,&nbsp;a&nbsp;1.5-litre inline four-cylinder, naturally&nbsp;aspirated (NA) engine&nbsp;drives&nbsp;the Japanese-spec Elevate as well. This unit&nbsp;belts out 145Nm of peak torque along with 119bhp of maximum power. However,&nbsp;in contrast to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/honda-elevate-the-elevate-is-hondas-attempt-to-make-its-mark-in-the-immensely-successful-suv-segment-114307/">the India-spec version</a>, which is also available with a six-speed manual, the WR-V can&nbsp;only be had&nbsp;with a CVT transmission.</p>

<h2>India-made Honda Elevate: Interior and Features</h2>

<p>As opposed to the India-spec Elevate's tan and black cabin, the&nbsp;Honda WR-V has an all-black cabin. Moreover, the fabric on the seats is different, and the Japanese model does not have&nbsp;leather accents on the dashboard. A new touchscreen infotainment system with physical buttons on the right side of the panel&nbsp;is also included with the SUV. The Indian Elevate, on the other hand, is equipped with a more sophisticated 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.</p>

<p>The Indian&nbsp;version&nbsp;comes equipped with features&nbsp;like wireless charging and an electric sunroof, which are absent from the Japanese one.

<p>September 2023 saw the global debut of the Elevate&nbsp;and&nbsp;its launch here&nbsp;in India. In the past&nbsp;six months, the brand's sole SUV in the domestic market&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/honda-elevate-crosses-30000-unit-sales-milestone-in-india-116591/">attracted over 30,000 customers</a>. Besides Japan, the model is&nbsp;being exported to several other nations&nbsp;such as South Africa, Nepal, Bhutan, Mexico, the Middle East, and Turkey. The India-made Elevate was rolled out for the&nbsp;South African market&nbsp;a couple of weeks back.&nbsp;Additionally, Honda offered the car&nbsp;to armed forces personnel at a discounted price at CSD dealerships.&nbsp;</p>


India-made Honda Elevate SUV Launched in Japan, Gets the WR-V Moniker

As far as the powertrain is concerned, Honda has not changed anything. Therefore, a 1.5-litre inline four-cylinder, naturally aspirated (NA) engine drives the Japanese-spec Elevate as well.

<p>It is yet another achievement for Honda Cars&nbsp;India as it has logged over&nbsp;30,000 unit&nbsp;sales for its popular mid-size SUV, the Elevate. The carmaker commenced deliveries&nbsp;for the Elevate on September 4, 2023&nbsp;– the same day Honda launched the all-new product. By December 2023, more than 20,000 units of the SUV were&nbsp;plying on Indian&nbsp;roads. Furthermore, the mega delivery event organised in September 2023 witnessed the delivery of over 200 Elevate SUVs to customers in a single day. Available in four variants – SV, V, VX, and ZX, the Honda Elevate&nbsp;gets&nbsp;a sole powertrain setup – a 1.5-litre iVTEC petrol unit, which also powers the City sedan. This engine is capable of churning out 120bhp and 145Nm of peak torque. On offer are two transmission options: a 6-speed manual and&nbsp;a 7-speed CVT. The 6-speed manual gearbox is standard on all 4 variants, whereas the 7-speed CVT is offered across the V, VX, and ZX versions.</p>

<p>On the feature front,&nbsp;the SUV includes a 10.25-inch LCD touch-screen, a wireless phone charger, a 7.0-inch full-colour TFT instrument panel, and Honda Connect. Other bits include rich brown leatherette upholstery, soft-touch door, dashboard trimmings, etc.&nbsp;The Elevate prioritises the safety of its passengers with&nbsp;an ADAS suite, hill start assist, emergency stop signal, a multi-angle rear-view camera, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX-compatible rear side seats with lower anchorages &amp; top tether. Note that these features shall vary depending on the trim.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Honda Elevate SUV: Dimensions, Design</h2>

<p>In terms of&nbsp;dimensions, the Honda Elevate measures&nbsp;1,790mm in width, 1,650mm in height, and 4,312mm in length. Furthermore, it features a class-leading boot space of 458 litres, while the vehicle's exterior is in line with Honda's current global design language for its SUVs, which includes a large grille with the Honda logo, slender and sharp headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED Turn indicators, diamond-cut R17 alloy wheels, and LED taillamps.</p>

<h2>Honda Elevate SUV:&nbsp;Price, Rivals</h2>

<p>The price of the Honda&nbsp;Elevate stands between Rs 11.58 lakh for the entry-level SV MT variant and Rs 16.20 lakh for the top-spec ZX CVT variant. All prices are ex-showroom. In related news, for the first time, the Elevate SUV is being offered with <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/honda-elevate-gets-discount-of-rs-50000-in-march-116364/">a cash discount of Rs 50,000 in March</a>; however, the amount may vary depending on the&nbsp;location, colour, variant,&nbsp;and other factors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The SUV comes in seven mono-tone colour options –&nbsp;Obsidian Blue Pearl, Radiant Red Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Golden Brown Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic, Meteoroid Grey Metallic, and&nbsp;Phoenix Orange Pearl. It can also be had in three dual-tone colours&nbsp;–&nbsp;Phoenix Orange Pearl, Platinum White Pearl, and Radiant Red Metallic, all with a Crystal Black Pearl roof. In terms of market rivalry, the Elevate goes up against the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, MG Astor, and Tata Nexon.</p>

<h2>Honda Elevate Launched as WR-V in Japan</h2>

<p>Honda's badge-engineered version of the Elevate SUV, the new WR-V,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/new-gen-honda-wr-v-elevate-based-suv-debuts-in-japan-115275/">made its&nbsp;debut in&nbsp;the Japanese market</a> in November 2023. It is now on sale in the said country and&nbsp;shares the same&nbsp;Global Small Car platform as the Elevate.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Unlike the exterior that bears no changes over the Elevate, the interior of the new WR-V sports a host of revisions. The cabin has been given an all-black treatment. The seats are upholstered in black as against the&nbsp;rich brown leatherette upholstery found on the India-spec model. Plus, the Japanese version lacks the leather inserts on the dashboard.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Features-wise, the&nbsp;Honda WR-V offers a new touchscreen infotainment system with physical controls. In comparison, the Honda Elevate&nbsp;has a 10.25-inch LCD touch-screen with&nbsp;Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.&nbsp;Other bits on the WR-V&nbsp;include automatic climate control, steering mounted controls, reverse parking camera, rear aircon vents, as well as the Honda Sensing ADAS suite, which includes&nbsp;collision mitigation brakes, lane watch camera,&nbsp;lane-keeping support system, auto high beam, and adaptive cruise control.&nbsp;But, the car loses key features such as&nbsp;a single-pane electric sunroof and wireless charger.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the powertrain of the Honda WR-V remains the same. It gets the&nbsp;same&nbsp;1.5-litre NA&nbsp;petrol engine, although mated to a CVT unit only.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>


Honda Elevate Crosses 30,000 Unit Sales Milestone in India

The price of the Honda Elevate stands between Rs 11.58 lakh for the entry-level SV MT variant and Rs 16.20 lakh for the top-spec ZX CVT variant. All prices are ex-showroom.

<p><meta name="generator" content="quillbot-pphr" />The Honda Elevate&nbsp;has been formally launched&nbsp;by the Japanese manufacturer&nbsp;in the South African market. The starting price of the SUV&nbsp;stands at&nbsp;R 370K&nbsp;(approximately Rs 15.92 lakh) and it&nbsp;is anticipated to take the WR-V's place in the country.&nbsp;However, the car has been introduced in just two variants: Elegance&nbsp;and Comfort. While&nbsp;the Elegance trim has a CVT automatic gearbox,&nbsp;the Comfort trim features&nbsp;a six-speed manual gearbox.&nbsp;The manual gearbox boasts&nbsp;a claimed fuel efficiency of 15.31km/l.</p>

<p>On the other hand,&nbsp;the CVT transmission has a claimed fuel efficiency of 16.92km/l. The SUV, designed and developed in India, has been a major sales driver for Honda Cars India for several months now.&nbsp;Since its debut&nbsp;last year, the automaker has gradually expanded its distribution of the vehicle into other international markets, including Japan, where it is marketed under the moniker&nbsp;WR-V.&nbsp;In addition to <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/honda-elevate-the-elevate-is-hondas-attempt-to-make-its-mark-in-the-immensely-successful-suv-segment-114307/">the Elevate</a>, Honda India provides the Amaze and City (branded as the Ballade) for export to South Africa. Several other international&nbsp;models from the brand comprise the Civic, the BR-V, the CR-V, the Fit or Jazz, and the HR-V.</p>

<p>The Elevate's external design hasn't changed all that much. The vehicle is equipped with an electronically adjustable single-pane sunroof, a large blacked-out grille, fog lamps, an upright and tall bonnet with ridges, and LED DRLs incorporated into the headlamps. Additional design features can be seen in&nbsp;the form of&nbsp;17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, shark fin antenna, rear spoiler, L-shaped LED taillights, and black cladding on the outside and inside.</p>

<h2>South-African Spec Honda Elevate SUV: Interior Layout and Feature Set</h2>

<p><meta name="generator" content="quillbot-pphr" />Honda has made just minor interior modifications to the South African-spec Elevate, adding black leatherette seats, a black steering wheel, and a black gear lever.<meta name="generator" content="quillbot-pphr" />&nbsp;Regarding features, it&nbsp;has an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system (10.25-inch in India-spec model) that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Meanwhile,&nbsp;the Elevate is not equipped with ADAS technology, which is available in India.</p>

<h2>South-African Spec Honda Elevate SUV: Under the Hood</h2>

<p>Mechanically, the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol engine in the recently launched model is the same as the India-spec Elevate. The motor is good enough to&nbsp;churn out&nbsp;a maximum torque of 145Nm and 119bhp of peak power&nbsp;when combined with a CVT or&nbsp;a six-speed manual gearbox. It's further interesting to note that the maker is providing a standard warranty of&nbsp;five years or 2,00,000&nbsp;kilometres.</p>
