Trending Questions on Honda Elevate - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Dhruvon Dec 2, 2025

I am from Himachal and currently own a 4th-gen Honda City. It is very comfortable but sometimes hard to manage in the mountains. I am looking to upgrade to a rugged SUV/Jeep. I test-drove the Thar Roxx and loved the go-anywhere feel, but the lack of thigh support at the front is a deal-breaker for me. The Innova HyCross offers ideal comfort for my family and me, but an MPV feels too large for my liking, and I do not need the extra two seats. Please give some recommendations.

If you are happy with the Honda experience, you should consider the Elevate. It scores very well on seat comfort and also has other pluses like good ground clearance and a robust build. The suspension can also take quite a beating and is something that you will appreciate, especially on rough roads in the hills.  
The engine is adequate but doesn’t have the punch of a turbo engine in case.
Alternatively, you could wait for the new Renault Duster that will go on sale in early 2026. The Duster is a tough amd hardy crossover, and the new one that will be offered with turbo-petrol engines should also satisfy with performance.

Asked by: Dinesh Shahon Nov 27, 2025

I want to change my car and am considering a compact SUV with a petrol CVT automatic. My annual running is 10,000-15,000 km (about 80% city, 20% highway). My budget is up to ₹20 lakh, and the car should have the latest safety features. What is the best option?

The Honda Elevate ZX CVT (Elite Pack) will be the right choice for you as it will suffice your requirements. It has a sorted petrol-CVT powertrain and is excellent to drive in the city. The ZX trim also gets good safety tech like automatic braking, lane departure, 6 airbags and more. 

Moreover, the ride comfort is good, and the cabin feels plush as well. It also gets an air purifier, a reversing camera with sensors and wireless connectivity, along with a large 10.2-inch touchscreen. Also, being a Honda car, it scores high on reliability, too.

I am 55 years old and planning to buy a new car under ₹15 lakh. I can extend my budget up to ₹17 lakh. I will be driving around 30 km daily in Bangalore city traffic, along with one long drive of up to 1,000 km every month. I prefer a car with good safety and the best possible mileage in city traffic. Please suggest a car that meets my requirements.

You can consider the new Maruti Suzuki Victoris petrol-automatic for its smoothness and well-rounded nature. The VXI AT variant should fall within your budget. Not only does this Maruti Suzuki car pack all the safety features you'd expect at this price, but it has also been awarded a 5-star score by Bharat NCAP for its crashworthiness. Moreover, Maruti's 1.5 petrol is known to be quite fuel efficient.
You could also consider the Honda Elevate V CVT for its seamless drive experience.

Asked by: VM Sasidharon Nov 26, 2025

I am a retired executive looking for an SUV for city driving and occasional long-distance trips. Between the Citroen Aircross and the Honda Elevate, which would you recommend? My budget is around ₹14 lakh.

The Honda Elevate would be a better choice between the two. It has a smooth and refined petrol engine that has more power than the Citroen Aircross, and the CVT gearbox is excellent in the city. Also, it is a well-sorted car that will do the job without any drama. 

The equipment kit and the ride comfort are also good, while not as good as the Aircross, it is still quite nice. Honda cars are also better in terms of their network, and after-sales touchpoints. Moreover, it also holds its future value better than the Aircross.

Asked by: Hareesh Reddyon Nov 25, 2025

I currently own a 2015 Elite i20 with about 50,000 km on the clock over the last 10 years. I’m planning to sell it and upgrade to a bigger car - I’m considering the Creta, Victoris, and Elevate. Which of these is best for performance, comfort, low maintenance, and offers the most features/options? I plan to keep the new car for five years or more. I currently drive a petrol manual; since I drive occasionally in the city and on outstation trips, should I switch to an automatic transmission? I’m confused by the options. Please suggest.

The Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Victoris and Honda Elevate are all competent midsize SUVs. Given your requirements, you should consider the Hyundai Creta. It comes with a refined 115hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that can be had with either a slick 6-speed manual or a smooth CVT automatic. 

While it might not have outright performance, the Creta 1.5 petrol is easy to drive, and it's proven to be reliable as well. And since you already own a Hyundai car, you'll appreciate the familiarity in regards to the car and the after-sales service. Since your usage is minimal, you can opt for the manual as it'll be more affordable and fuel-efficient than the CVT. But if you want the convenience, especially in the city, go for the CVT automatic.

Asked by: A K Sethion Nov 24, 2025

Only considering ride comfort and engine performance, which is better: the Honda Elevate or the Kia Carens Clavis petrol NA?

While the two vehicles are closely matched, on balance, given your two requirements of ride comfort and performance, the Honda Elevate has the edge.
In terms of ride comfort, the Kia Carens Clavis has a softer edge, which is beneficial in the city. Though not as soft, the Elevate's suspension is still very comfortable, while allowing for great stability at speed and while turning.
On the performance front, the Honda 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine is superior not just for its greater output - 120hp vs 115hp - but also due to its freer revving nature and greater eagerness in power delivery.

Asked by: Kaustubh Wardeon Nov 21, 2025

I’m planning to buy a new car for my elderly parents, and I’m confused between the Honda Elevate, Toyota HyCross, Toyota Hyryder, Skoda Slavia, and Honda City. Which car would you suggest???

The Toyota Innova HyCross is a six or seven-seater, available at a much higher price point than the other options listed. If your parents are solely chauffeur-driven, then go for the Toyota Hycross. 

If they are self-driven, the Honda Elevate and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder are both good options, for their high seating, which makes getting in and out easy, as well as their user-friendliness. 

The Elevate's slightly stronger engine performance and smoother CVT give it an edge over the Hyryder Petrol-AT, when it comes to driving pleasure.

I am an employee and will retire in two years. After retirement, I will settle in Hyderabad. I want to purchase an automatic SUV, and I am confused between the Maruti Suzuki Victoris and the Honda Elevate. My budget is ₹16 lakh. Please advise.

Both your shortlisted options are capable and reliable Japanese midsize SUVs. The Maruti Suzuki Victoris, being the newer of the two, has newer gizmos and tech, though given your budget of Rs 16 lakh, you will only get a mid-range variant, which will miss many of these features. This Maruti Suzuki car is also the more fuel-efficient of the two.
The Honda Elevate will also only come in a mid-range variant for your budget, but it has the advantages of greater space in the rear seat and boot, a more comfortable ride quality, and a more responsive and powerful engine. If your usage is on the lower side with infrequent drives, we would recommend the Honda Elevate as it is the more practical choice.

Asked by: Ashokon Nov 20, 2025

I’m looking for a new automatic car (not AMT) that can seat five adults comfortably. Both my wife and I will drive it. I want good build quality, visibility, active safety features, usable boot space, reasonable maintenance costs and comfort for daily use and highway trips. I don’t care about features like a sunroof or multi-speaker audio. Budget is ₹15 lakh. Preference is an SUV like the Honda Elevate, but I’m open to sedans. Suggestions?

The Honda Elevate is a good pick for you. It's a no-nonsense SUV that delivers on the very aspects you value. It's built tough, offers good visibility and has a large boot. Everyday comfort is good, and the robust suspension shines on bad roads. It's got safety essentials, though versions with ADAS are only offered on pricier variants.
The 1.5-litre petrol engine will run trouble-free for years, but do note the CVT auto performs best in easy-going driving. Aggressive driving or quick overtakes will lead to a disproportionate rise in revs and engine noise levels. The Elevate is, in general, noisier than some direct rivals. Also, while there's loads of room for four passengers to sit in comfort, a fifth could be a bit of a squeeze. 

In case you find space insufficient for your requirements, you could consider the Creta IVT EX(O). While it is out of your budget at around Rs 16 lakh (on-road), the Hyundai Creta does feel larger, has a roomier cabin and also a slicker (and quieter) engine-gearbox combination.

Asked by: Monishon Nov 20, 2025

I have a 2017 Hyundai Xcent SX petrol and want to sell it. Please suggest the best platform to get a good resale value. Also, which car should I buy next: Honda Elevate, Hyundai Creta or Kia Seltos?

Spinny is a reputed, hassle-free selling platform, through which you're likely to get the best price for your 2017 Hyundai Xcent SX. Between the three cars listed, the Honda Elevate is the nicest to drive, has the comfy seats, and it also feels a touch tougher than the others, especially over bad roads.
But the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos are more rounded offerings; both are competent, and you won't go wrong with either. Between the Kia and Hyundai, pick the one you think looks and feels better inside and out.
