Honda is working on a facelifted Elevate mid-size SUV for the Indian market, with the update expected around October 2026 rather than officially announced.

What is expected to change
The refreshed Elevate is likely to get:
- New front grille, revised bumpers and updated alloy wheels for a sharper look.
- Tweaked lighting elements to distinguish it from the current model.
- Inside, a larger 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, updated interior trim and layout.
- Added convenience and safety tech such as a 360-degree camera and ventilated front seats, features already seen on newer Honda models.
Engine and gearbox
Despite the cosmetic and feature upgrades, the facelift is expected to continue with the same 1.5-litre petrol engine, paired with manual and automatic transmission options. No major mechanical changes or new powertrains have been indicated so far.
What this means for Nepal buyers
For now, this Elevate update is an India-market development. Nepal pricing and launch plans have not been confirmed, but the feature additions are relevant for Nepali buyers comparing mid-size SUVs and watching for future Honda upgrades here.
