Honda Elevate: Engine And Specs

The Honda Elevate is powered by a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine that generates 119 bhp and 145 Nm of torque. It is available with both a 6-speed manual transmission and a CVT gearbox. It misses out on a diesel engine altogether, but now comes with a CNG kit, but there's a caveat. The latest Elevate CNG features an aftermarket CNG kit installed at the dealership.

Variant Recommendation: If you are running a little tight on budget and can only manage the basic SV trim, it offers a fairly loaded choice but misses out on any music system. However, if you are okay with shelling out more, we think that the second-to-base VX variant offers excellent value for money with plenty of modern features at Rs. 13.81 lakh ex-showroom price and will sit well with majority of the buyers. Meanwhile, if you want the Level-2 ADAS suite and more feel-good features, you will have to upgrade to the ZX trim which comes along with a few more bells and whistles. However, you still miss out on some key features like a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, and more.
