Honda Elevate — Price, Variants & Specs (2026)
The Honda Elevate is priced between ₹11.99 Lakh – ₹16.86 Lakh (ex-showroom, July 2026) across 7 key variants. The VX MT variant costs about ₹16,52,250 on-road in Delhi.
The Elevate is Honda's midsize SUV built on the City's platform, squaring up to the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Maruti Grand Vitara. It counters their variant blitz with a simple honest formula: the proven 1.5 i-VTEC, a smooth CVT, 220 mm ground clearance and Honda Sensing ADAS. It trades flash for driving polish and long-term dependability.

Honda Elevate — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of the Honda Elevate?

What mileage does the Elevate deliver?

Is the Honda Elevate safe?
The India-spec Elevate has not been rated by Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP, so no official star rating exists, though the closely related Japan-market WR-V performed well in JNCAP. Six airbags and Honda Sensing ADAS are available.
Which SUVs rival the Honda Elevate?
The Elevate takes on the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder and Skoda Kushaq. It stands out for ride comfort, driveability and Honda's low-fuss ownership experience.
Which Elevate variant is the best buy?
The Elevate VX CVT is the smart choice, bundling ADAS, the 10.25-inch touchscreen and LED headlamps with the effortless automatic. The ZX mainly adds a sunroof and leatherette upholstery, so upgrade only if those matter to you.
