I have booked the Honda Elevate V CVT, and the final deal I got is Rs 14.5 lakh. Should I go for it?

•4m

Yes, go for it. The Honda Elevate V CVT at Rs 14.5 lakh is a solid deal. The Elevate is a simple, reliable and fuss-free SUV with a proven naturally aspirated petrol engine and a smooth CVT automatic, making it an excellent choice for long-term ownership. Honda’s reputation for reliability and low maintenance costs adds to its appeal, and the V variant comes well equipped with the essentials you need. The only thing to keep in mind is that the Elevate facelift is launching next week, so if you are not in a hurry, it may be worth waiting to see what updates Honda brings. Otherwise, this is a sensible and dependable choice that you are unlikely to regret.

Hi, I’m planning to buy the Honda Elevate ZX CVT Adventure, and the dealer has offered it to me for Rs 18.5 lakh on-road. As part of the deal, they are also offering a seven-year extended warranty, five-year RSA (Roadside Assistance) and a dashcam. Do you think this is a good deal and worth buying at Rs 18.5 lakh? I’d appreciate your advice, especially on whether the additional warranty and RSA add meaningful value to the deal.

Yes, this is a good deal and worth buying at Rs 18.5 lakh on-road. The Honda Elevate ZX CVT Adventure is a sensible choice for long-term ownership, and the price you have been offered is competitive for the top-spec variant with the CVT. The 7-year extended warranty is the most meaningful part of the deal, as it gives you peace of mind well beyond the standard warranty period and effectively covers you for the majority of your ownership period. The 5-year RSA is a useful add-on, especially if you do long-distance driving, as it removes the hassle of arranging breakdown assistance separately, and the dashcam is a nice bonus.Overall, the package adds meaningful value and makes the deal worth taking. If you are happy with the car, go ahead and buy it. Do note, though, the Elevate facelift is set to launch in the coming days, so you could try to get an even better deal on this current one.

I am buying a Honda Elevate and need a review of the dealer-fitted 360-degree camera system. Is it good, or can I get something better in the aftermarket? The dealer mentioned that they would disconnect the rear camera and connect it to the 360-degree camera setup. I am sceptical about this and am not sure if I am thinking about it the right way. Can you guide me?

•2d

A dealer-fitted 360-degree camera system on the Honda Elevate is a decent solution, but it is not as seamless as a factory-fitted system. The dealer will typically disconnect the original rear camera and integrate the 360 system into the existing display, which can work well, but it is not as tightly integrated as a factory setup. You may lose some of the original camera’s functionality, such as dynamic guidelines or the exact calibration that Honda intended.Aftermarket 360-degree camera systems can be just as good, if not better, depending on the brand and installation quality. The key is to choose a reputable installer who can properly calibrate the system and integrate it cleanly with the car’s display. A well-installed aftermarket system can offer similar functionality to the dealer-fitted option, and you may have more choice in terms of camera quality and features.However, both dealer and aftermarket systems can void a warranty; in the former case, since it's the dealer itself, this is unlikely, but make sure you get this in writing from the dealer.

I am planning to buy a car but need an opinion between the Bayon and the Elevate.

•4d

It is difficult to give a meaningful opinion on the Bayon against the Elevate without actually seeing and driving the India-spec Bayon. The India model is quite different from the European Bayon, and while we now know it will sit between the Venue and Creta, its exact positioning, ride quality, performance and real-world usability can only really be judged once the production car is driven. It is expected to use Hyundai's 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, with CNG also likely to be offered.There is another reason not to rush into the Elevate right now. The Elevate facelift is just around the corner, with the India debut expected in early October. It is expected to get styling and equipment updates, while retaining the existing 1.5-litre petrol engine and CVT. Potential additions include ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera and an updated touchscreen.So this is one of those situations where waiting a little gives you a much clearer picture.

Hi, I am planning to buy a CNG SUV and am considering the Tata Nexon CNG and Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG. I will be driving around 150km every day for office, so my main concerns are fuel economy and maintenance costs. Many people have suggested the Brezza because of its mileage and lower running costs, but Tata is also a large company and has a wide service network. So, why do buyers generally recommend the Brezza over the Nexon CNG? I personally prefer the Nexon, but I am confused about whether it would be the right choice for my daily usage. Which one would make more sense for my requirements?

•18h

Go with the Tata Nexon CNG if that is your preference. At 150 km daily, CNG is the right fuel choice, and both the Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Brezza are factory CNG cars, so reliability and safety are not a concern. The Nexon CNG is a strong product with good performance, a comfortable ride and a well-equipped cabin. The reason many people suggest the Brezza is Maruti's reputation for low maintenance costs, wide service reach and a long-standing reputation for hassle-free ownership. The Brezza CNG is also a very reliable and efficient package. However, the Nexon CNG is the more modern car and feels more premium inside.At 150 km daily, the key is to choose the car you will enjoy driving every day. The Nexon CNG is a solid choice, and there is no reason to change your decision.

I want to know the launch date of the new Toyota Innova Hycross model.

•3d

The Toyota Innova Hycross facelift is expected to launch in early 2027. Toyota has already been testing the updated Hycross in India, with spy shots showing a revised front end, new lighting elements and a redesigned bumper. The facelift is expected to bring some interior and feature updates as well, while the existing 2.0-litre petrol and strong hybrid powertrains are likely to continue. Toyota has not announced a confirmed launch date yet, so early 2027 is the current expectation rather than a firm date.

Hi, I want to buy my last car as I am 66 years old. I have been driving a Honda City for the last 12 years without any major hiccup. The Honda City engine and its reliability is excellent although its ground clearance is an issue. I have looked at Elevate and given its ground clearance as an SUV, I am impressed although the issues on E20 and abrupt blending issues are surely technical issues. Windsor EV was a great test drive but all controls on screen could be a bottleneck for me at my age and am planning to move to an automatic. Please recommend as experts. My monthly running will not be more than 500 km. Should I also look at Seltos. I will appreciate a feedback from experts. I want a reliable, easy to drive car with low maintenance cost and good family value with. There won't be any great pick ups or many highway drives will not be there.

Given your 12 years of trouble free City ownership, the Elevate is the most natural replacement. It retains Honda’s simple 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, adds substantially better ground clearance and gives you the easier ingress and SUV driving position you liked. The CVT is also very well suited to your low speed, low running usage and should make the transition to an automatic easy.On your E20 concern, we would not treat it as a reason to avoid the Elevate. Honda says all its cars manufactured in India since January 2009 are E20 material compatible, and the current Elevate is officially certified for E20. Honda also says E20 should not cause durability concerns or require any component changes. There can be a marginal reduction in fuel economy because ethanol contains less energy than petrol, but with your 500km monthly running, that is unlikely to be significant.The Seltos is worth a look, particularly if you want a more feature rich and premium cabin, but given your priorities of reliability, easy driving, low maintenance and long term ownership, the Elevate fits your requirements more naturally. The Windsor EV is also an interesting option, but at just 500km a month, there is little financial reason to move to an EV, especially when you have concerns about its touchscreen heavy interface.
