Honda Elevate SUV: Design
Exterior
As far as design goes, the Elevate features a big grille flanked by thin, LED headlights and two fog lamps underneath. The headlights and the LED daytime running lamps are connected by a thick chrome bar like on the City. The Elevate has a flat nose with a big Honda logo in the middle.
Over to the sides, the new Honda midsize SUV features slightly flared wheel arches with thick plastic cladding giving it a chunky SUV look, while the window-line tapers upwards towards the thick C-pillar. The Elevate gets 17-inch alloy wheels, similar to the ones seen on the facelifted City.
At the back, it gets a slightly raked window and tail-lights that are connected via a red bar that looks like a light bar. The wraparound tail-lights look similar to the latest-gen WR-V sold in markets like Indonesia. It also gets an indentation on the tailgate for number plate housing.
Interior
The Elevate gets a free-standing 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen in the middle of the dashboard. In terms of features, the Elevate gets a single-pane sunroof only and, while three of its eight competitors get the same, the rest feature a panoramic sunroof. Even the upcoming Kia Seltos facelift, which thus far got a single-pane sunroof, is due to get this premium feature.
Apart from this, it also gets a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless smartphone integration – Android Auto and Apple CarPlay – and a rear parking camera.
Honda will also offer its Sensing ADAS suite in the Elevate, with features like a collision mitigation braking system, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, road departure warning and automatic high beam assist. The only other midsize SUV to currently feature ADAS is the MG Astor, while the Seltos facelift will also get driver assistance tech.

The Elevate is 4,312mm long, 1,650mm high and has a wheelbase of 2,650mm, which makes it almost similar to the Creta. It gets 458 litres of boot space and 220mm of ground clearance – the Creta, in comparison, stands 190mm off the ground.
