The mileage delivered is 16.92 kmpl with the CVT gearbox and the same with the 6-speed manual. That said, with a light foot, achieving an average of 19 to 20 kmpl with this engine is quite easy.

Verdict
The Honda Elevate is the only compact SUV in the country with 220 mm of ground clearance, the actual ground clearance required for serious off-roading. Additionally, its naturally aspirated engine has more power than its rivals' naturally aspirated petrol engines, which is another positive point about this Japanese vehicle. Furthermore, the Elevate boasts the best looks in the business, combining a proper amount of machismo and subtlety that you wont find in its rivals. With the Apex Edition, even the V and VX trims have become more premium, making them look far from base variants.
