Honda recently unveiled the fuel efficiency figures of the Elevate. The Elevate will be available with only a single powertrain option. This will be the 1.5-lt NA petrol sourced from the City sedan. This engine makes a peak power of 121 PS. Meanwhile, Honda will offer it with an option of a 6-speed MT or a 7-step CVT automatic transmission. Now, the MT will deliver a claimed 15.31 kmpl of economy while the CVT will deliver 16.92 kmpl. While these figures might not look very interesting, the Elevate SUV will have a lot to offer in terms of safety & features. It'll get the Honda Sensing ADAS tech with creature comfort features like a 10.25-inch of touchscreen infotainment system, digital cockpit, leather upholstery, sunroof, etc.

Honda Elevate is one of the most awaited car launch of 2023 in India. It'll rival the popular SUVs like Hyundai Creta, the new KIA Seltos, & the Maruti Grand Vitara. However, there will be no option of hybrid or diesel powertrain on the Elevate which might result in restrictions for new buyers. But, Honda's reliability as well engineering has already attracted a lot of buyers. If the pricing of Eelvate is aggressive, it can become a segment leader.
