Honda Elevate facelift FAQs

Compared to the outgoing model, the upcoming Honda Elevate facelift could come with ventilated front seats and 360-degree camera from the factory, Honda Cars India Kunal Behl, vice president of marketing and sales at Honda Cars India, told Autocar India. In the outgoing model, these are currently provided as accessories from the dealership.

The Honda Elevate facelift is likely to get revised bumpers, a new alloy wheel design, and updated headlamps and tail lamps with new lighting elements. Inside, the facelift could be offered with new cabin trim and an updated new 10.25-inch touchscreen that was introduced on the 2026 City facelift.

The Honda Elevate facelift is likely to continue with the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that currently does duty under the bonnet of the outgoing model. Similarly, the 6-speed manual and CVT gearbox options are likely to be carried forward too.

Hello Autocar Team, I am planning to buy a new automatic car and have heard that the Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift and the Honda Elevate are expected to launch soon. Could you please advise on the expected launch timelines for both these vehicles?

We understand that the Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift is due very soon, likely in the next month or two. It will mainly bring cosmetic changes and additional features rather than any major mechanical overhaul. So if you are keen on the Brezza, it is worth waiting, because you’ll get the updated styling, a bit more equipment and potentially better value without having to wait too long.The Honda Elevate facelift, on the other hand, is still some time away. The current Elevate was launched in India in September 2023, and reliable estimates put its first facelift only in mid‑ to late‑2026. Given this timeline, we don’t expect it before the second half of this year at the earliest, and even then, the changes are likely to be mild. It will mainly include bumpers, grille and features with no major change to the 1.5‑litre petrol engine and CVT.Both cars are proven, reliable and easy‑to‑drive automatics, with smooth petrol engines and user‑friendly automatic gearboxes that work well in city traffic. The Elevate is, of course, a size bigger than the Brezza; it’s a proper midsize SUV (Creta class). So you get more cabin and boot space, but you also pay more for it, both in upfront price and running costs. So if you want an automatic soon and are leaning towards the Brezza, wait for the imminent facelift. If you prefer the larger Elevate, it makes sense to buy the current model rather than hold off for many months for a relatively minor update.
