I have decided to buy the Honda Elevate and I see that a facelift is expected to launch around June 2026, as published on the Autocar portal. Is this news confirmed from insider or reliable sources? If it is confirmed, I would wait for the facelift.

Yes, that's right. Reliable sources have told us that the Honda Elevate will be getting a minor facelift in the second half of 2026.

However, do not expect a lot to change on this updated version. Chances are the updates will be restricted to a few cosmetic updates like grille and bumper designs, as well as a few feature additions.

There will be no changes to the powertrain, nor the introduction of a hybrid variant. While we estimate that it will launch in the month of June, that's still uncertain. Also, it could come a few months later, too.

If you are in a hurry, you could go for the current version, as the changes are expected to be minor. However, if you don't mind waiting, then you should, as you will get the very latest version of Honda's capable SUV.

Latest upgraded cars are mostly 3 cylinder variants with turbo charger. Honda Elevate is 4 Cylinder naturally aspirated engine. Kindly bear this in mind while opting for new introductions.

IIRC, Autocar reported Honda City facelift in H1 2026 and Elevate in H2 which most probably mean towards Diwali, so too late to wait IMO. Also it's Honda we're talking about, always lazy, so no point to trust their timelines, which are not publicly announced anyway. Either way, I hope Honda does not make sunroof as compulsory from base variants, but rather keep it optional like Maruti/Tata are doing. I for one hate any kind of sunroof in Indian conditions.

Hi Team, first-time car buyer in Chennai. Looking for an automatic gearbox with space for three comfortable passengers at the back. I am confused between Elevate and Seltos. Considering Elevate for engine reliability and Seltos mainly for ventilated seats. Could you please help? Not keen on the Creta.

In terms of rear seat space, the Kia Seltos would feel a bit wider and roomier than the Honda Elevate. The petrol automatic drivetrain on the Seltos is also more refined than the Elevate's, which suffers from noticeable engine noise.The typical CVT rubberband effect - where the revs rise before a corresponding increase in engine rpm - is also less pronounced in the Kia. With these factors in mind, and the we would recommend the Seltos for you.

Hi, I am confused between the Seltos (ventilated seats) and the Elevate (missing ventilation and some minor features like a front parking sensor) petrol automatic for Chennai city as a first-time car buyer. Please help me decide between the two.

The Kia Seltos is the better choice here. It is better equipped than the Honda Elevate, has a more spacious cabin and overall feels more upmarket and refined. The Elevate has a larger boot, and its 1.5-litre petrol engine is very flexible and efficient.However, the Honda Elevate now feels a generation behind the new Seltos, which has moved the game forward in the mid-size SUV segment.

I am looking to upgrade to a 7-seater SUV and am confused between the 7XO and Safari. I want good headlights, ADAS suite, fun-to-drive nature and a tech-loaded car.

Looking at your requirement, both the Tata Safari and the Mahindra XUV 7XO will do you fine. However, we would lean towards the Mahindra on account of your requirements of 'tech-loaded' and 'fun to drive' being better served with the 7XO.The Mahindra car offers features like a triple-screen setup that's standard across the range and a 16-speaker Harmon Kardon music system that sounds very good, among many more. Both the petrol and diesel engines on the Mahindra also deliver better performance and provide a very fun-to-drive experience. They are also more refined. As for the ADAS suite and headlights, both offer similar levels of performance.
