    What Honda has got spot on are the dynamics, and the Elevate balances ride and handling well. The steering is accurate and delightfully light at low speeds and weighs up progressively as you go faster, giving you a precise feel while driving in a sporty manner.

    Rear seats very comfy but limited width makes seating three a squeeze.

    The long-travel suspension with well-judged damping, though on the firmer side, works brilliantly. With 1,540mm tracks at the front and rear, much wider than the City’s, and a longer wheelbase, it feels glued to the road at all times. There’s also very little body roll for such a tall SUV, which makes the Elevate predictable to drive and easy to place through corners. The brakes too are very progressive, and though there are drums and not discs at the rear, we didn’t find braking performance lacking in any area.

    At Rs 1.85 lakh, the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is the most affordable 40hp bike in India. Would you pick it over similarly priced bikes with less power and features?

    Yes, 40hp at this price is unheard of!

    No, it's a decade-old bike in a revamped suit.

    Great value but doesn't look unique enough.
