Honda has launched the facelifted Elevate in India at an introductory price of ₹11.80 lakh (ex-showroom). Pre-bookings for the new midsize SUV opened on 1 October, followed by its launch on 6 October. The facelift includes styling changes, new cabin options and extra safety equipment, with the 1.5-litre petrol engine and gearbox option unchanged.
The 2026 Honda Elevate facelift comes in five main trims - SV, V, VX, ZX and ZX+ Black CVT - with the base model priced at ₹13.75 lakh while the top-end ZX+ Black CVT is priced at ₹18.40 lakh. The SUV's engine still comes with a 121 hp naturally aspirated petrol engine with 145 Nm, coupled to a six-speed manual or CVT transmission, Honda said.
The new top-spec ZX+ Black CVT is priced at ₹18.40 lakh, while Honda has kept the outgoing model's price unchanged. This brings the most expensive version up to ₹1.94 lakh, making it more expensive than the previous year's top-of-the-line model.
At the rear, a new LED light bar connects the taillights. The wheel alloy design is unchanged. Honda is also launching a new Nordic Forest Pearl colour, available in both single- and dual-tone versions.
CVT variants have an electronic parking brake fitted that also features auto-hold. Honda Sensing safety equipment on the SUV is also new and includes front parking sensors, rear disc brakes and adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow.
Honda has also added more sound-deadening material to address cabin noise. The company claims it enhances NVH characteristics that will be tested during a road test.
The Honda Elevate competes with the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq and Maruti Grand Vitara in the midsize SUV segment in India.
