Honda Elevate: Missed Opportunity Or Misunderstood?

I took the delivery of honda elevate five days ago. And I drove around 250 kms from Bangalore to native place via highway. Noise level is too high above 85 kmph which makes the ear uneasy. I mostly have driven around 85-120 kmph. My parents, spouse and my son become very much worried about the noise. It's a brand new car and it's literally tiring. It's not been five days and I'm thinking about selling the car. My Suzuki s-cross diesel which I have driven for 1 lakh plus kilometer gives less noise than this. I have contacted the showroom immediately, they are asking for a road test. I don't know whether this car is made for the highway or not. Noise is so high that if I honk it's literally the same decibel inside and outside. Insulation in the car is so bad. It's like a 10 year old car which I'm driving. Literally I'm frustrated with myself for trusting Honda Ear uneasiness, driving peace, comfort literally 0 in honda When we open window, we have hear wind noise floating right around 85kmph, inside also same with little less sound, which makes irritation and headache.

A good car to have. This is my 11th car and 3rd Honda. Spacious, comfortable, high ground clearance, safety are some of the best features. Highway mileage exceeds 17 at times but city mileage is 7-8. Very low. My usage is largely in city and few times on the highways. Wonder how some reviews claim 12-15 km in city.

Excellent family SUV. I am amongst the initial buyers of this vehicle. I switched over from Honda City to the Elevate CVT- AT, top model. I have driven this elevate over 1.5 Lakh KM. I have travelled cross country with this vehicle and so pleased due to 1. Ground Clearance, 2. Safety, 3. Material strength -sturdy n heavy, 4. Adequate and organically placed control switches, 5 Petrol mileage about 15 km, 6. ADAS - excellent performance and breaking, and not like few other cars whose breaking causes midway collision with behind vehicles. 7. Sound and camara quality is top notch. And many more reasons already mentioned by others. Some areas for improvement: 1. Left hand (Arm) rest in the centre and the support on the right side door for the driver's right hand needs to be redesigned so that they remain at same heights. 2. Rear seat base may be increased 1-2 inches in length so that it provides adequate thigh support. 3. Online publicity is missing while other cheaper and lighter vehicles are available in each search.

Bought the ZX CVT Black Edition. Overall, it's a great choice if you're looking for a practical SUV. I also considered the Creta and Seltos, but ultimately chose the Elevate for its long-term ownership potential. The only drawbacks I found are that the NVH levels are a bit high and it doesn't offer ventilated seats. Apart from these, I don't think there are any major issues. Honda should focus on better marketing and consider adding a few feature-rich additions that customers often look for and that help in promotions.

The most amazing car with everything in totality, its spacious, smooth ride, economy. Good Suspension, good mileage, good price range & most Important part is services is amazing. Only 1 problem it should had moon roof instead of sunroof, Front looks are also amazing, classy & at the same time sporty looks.
