Both the Honda Elevate and the Citroen Aircross have a very good ride quality and are powered by responsive engines.
For your requirements, you would not go wrong with either. However, to quantify between the two, we would rate the Aircross better in terms of ride quality, engine performance and refinement. Thus, we would recommend you pick the Citroen since driving pleasure and ride quality are very important to you.
However, make sure there is a dealer in your area and in the areas you plan to drive to, as the Citroen network is very sparse at the moment.
