Seltos Petrol vs Elevate Automatic

Last Updated on: 01 Oct 2026

Honda Elevate price in Lower Siang
On-road in Lower Siang, the base model Petrol SV MT starts at 12.93 lakh and the top model Petrol ADV Edition CVT reaches 18.46 lakh. The Petrol ZX MT sits between the two at 16.71 lakh.
If you are financing the car, a loan of 11,60,000 on the base model Petrol SV MT means an EMI of 18,663 a month. Stepping up to the top model Petrol ADV Edition CVT raises that to 26,708 on a loan of 16,60,000.
Why prices change from the base model to the top model:
Every variant uses the same 121hp petrol engine, so you are paying for equipment and gearbox rather than for more performance.
The CVT automatic costs more than the 6-speed manual on the same variant.
The trim levels run SV, V, VX and ZX, with Black Edition and ADV Edition sitting alongside them.
The 10.25-inch touchscreen and the sunroof arrive part way up the range.
Honda Sensing driver assistance and the 360-degree camera on the ADV Edition sit near the top, which is where the last part of the price goes.
Registration, road tax and insurance are added to the ex-showroom figure, and how much they add depends on the state you buy in. That is why the same variant costs more in one city than another.

The V CVT is the most affordable variant of the Honda Elevate to get an automatic (continuously variable transmission) gearbox. The V CVT costs Rs 1.62 lakh more than the base SV trim with the manual gearbox.
For buyers who are budget conscious but still seek a decent set of features, the V trim with the 6-speed manual gearbox is preferable. However, the VX trim with the CVT automatic gearbox not only makes it easier to drive this SUV, but it also comes with more convenience features.
The one-year maintenance (10,000km) cost of the Honda Elevate can go up to Rs 3,915 for the manual version.
Unless you find yourself in bumper-to-bumper traffic on a daily basis and over prolonged periods, spending nearly Rs 1.2 lakh for the CVT over the manual transmission would be hard to justify.
I have booked the Honda Elevate V CVT, and the final deal I got is Rs 14.5 lakh. Should I go for it?
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?
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.
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, as a first-time car buyer, which car would be preferable around a Rs. 15 lakh budget? The budget is not a hard ceiling and is slightly flexible. Requirements: I’m looking for a long-term family car for the next 6-8 years, but it should be fun to drive as well. It should have adequate power with passengers and luggage, especially on hills. My monthly running is approximately 800-1,100 km, mostly in the city. We usually take a trip every 3-4 months, and most of these trips are to hill stations. I’m looking for good automatic petrol options only. My shortlist: 1. 3XO RevX-A AT - Drawback: Boot space (I have experienced this firsthand). 2. Seltos HTK(O) - preferably the Turbo DCT Drawback: Slightly above budget, but I can consider it if it is really worth the extra cost. 3. Elevate V CVT Drawback: Feels like it is missing some premium features. I’m open to other suggestions as well.
For your usage, the Seltos HTK(O) Turbo DCT is the strongest fit if the additional stretch is comfortable. It gives you the performance you will appreciate on hill trips, particularly with passengers and luggage, while offering a spacious, well-equipped cabin and an enjoyable driving experience.The Skoda Kylaq 1.0 TSI AT is also worth adding to the shortlist. It stays comfortably within your budget and is arguably the most natural alternative if you want something compact, fun to drive and easier to own within the original budget. Its turbo petrol and torque converter automatic are well suited to both city driving and occasional hill trips. It has a big enough boot too for your weekend trips.The XUV 3XO RevX-A AT remains a strong option, particularly for performance and rear seat space, but the limited boot is a genuine compromise for family trips. The Elevate V CVT is the simpler long-term choice, with a smooth naturally aspirated engine and good boot space, but it does not have the same punch as the turbocharged options, and the V variant misses some desirable features.
