Safety Check

In terms of safety, the Elevate is well equipped and includes features such as:

• Up to six airbags

• Lane-watch camera

• ISOFIX child seat mounts

• ESP with hill hold assist

• ADAS ( lane-keep assist, autonomous emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control)

It is the third car in the compact SUV segment, after the MG Astor and Kia Seltos, to get the radar and camera-based ADAS feature. Honda has crash tested the Elevate internally and the results show that it might get a strong safety rating.

Powertrains

The Elevate gets the Honda City’s 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine, which is rated at 121PS and 145Nm. Transmission options include 6-speed manual and CVT, the latter also getting paddle shifters. There’s no hybrid powertrain on offer, but the Elevate is getting an electrified version by 2026.

Rivals

The Honda Elevate rivals the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Volkswagen Taigun, Citroen C3 Aircross, Skoda Kushaq, and MG Astor.
