Honda Elevate Facelift Launched with New Features

Honda has officially launched the facelifted version of the Elevate SUV in India, retaining the starting price at 1.18 million Indian rupees. The updated mid-size SUV introduces new features and minor exterior changes while keeping the mechanical setup unchanged.

The facelift adds a new top-spec ZX+ variant, priced at 1.84 million Indian rupees for the CVT version. The updated Elevate features revised grille elements with three light-bar sections, giving it a connected look. The rear gets redesigned taillights, and the front bumper has also been slightly revised.

Inside, the cabin now boasts several new features, including rear-seat ventilation, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, a four-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, and wireless charging. It also includes a PM2.5 filter, a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, rear disc brakes, and an electronic parking brake. Honda has updated the interior theme and added Nordic Fest Pearl to the color options. The SUV is available in dual-tone and single-tone color combinations.

There are no changes to the powertrain. The Elevate continues with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 119 bhp and 145 Nm of torque, offered with a 6-speed manual or CVT automatic transmission. Honda has not introduced a turbocharged or hybrid powertrain with the facelift. The Elevate is manufactured in India and is also exported to Japan.

In the current Nepal market, the Honda Elevate is priced between Rs 62.54 lakh and Rs 84.90 lakh. It sits above the Honda Amaze, which ranges from Rs 46.79 lakh to Rs 57.75 lakh. The Elevate competes in a similar price bracket to the Honda City, which is currently available from Rs 63 lakh to Rs 103 lakh.

Official pricing and availability for the updated model have not been confirmed for Nepal. Buyers should wait for further announcements regarding the local arrival of this facelifted SUV.
