For Honda India, the Honda Elevate holds significant importance since the brand currently offers only two sedans in its lineup.

Regarding the features, the Elevate features a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment display that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Verdict
The Honda Elevate holds great importance for Honda India, as it will be competing with popular mid-size SUVs in the Indian market such as the Hyundai Creta, KIA Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, and others. However, unlike its competitors that offer various powertrain options, including diesel, turbocharged petrol, and CNG, the Elevate will be equipped with a single powertrain. This could potentially make it challenging for Honda to gain a stronger competitive edge in the segment.
