Honda Elevate has an imposing front-end. It features Honda's wing-like chrome bar sitting atop the large, blacked-out grille, stretching into the LED headlights. Additional important design features consist of a blacked-out A-pillar, a contrast roof, roof rails, chrome-finished door handles and dual-tone 17-inch alloys.

The Elevate has a layered dashboard and a dual-tone colour scheme. Also part of the package are 7.0-inch HD-coloured multi-information cluster which displays information such as fuel consumption, trip metre, outside temperature, G-metre, and a clock on a large display screen. With a wheelbase of 2,650 mm, Honda has aimed to maximise rear seat space. Top-spec variants of the Elevate will feature a single-pane sunroof, whereas, its rival, the Creta, is offered with a panaromic sunroof.

In terms of connectivity and infotainment, the Elevate comes equipped with a 10.25-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system. This display can wirelessly connect to various smartphones via Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and USB. Additionally, it offers access to sub-screen functions such as the Assistant Side View Monitor (ASVM), Assistant Rear View Monitor (ARVM), wireless charging and shortcuts commonly used for infotainment settings.

Honda has also stressed on safety features, as the Elevate incorporates the ‘Honda Sensing’ suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These include adaptive cruise control, road departure mitigation system, collision mitigation braking system, lane keep assist, lead car departure notification and auto high-beam assist. Other safety features include six airbags, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, the camera-based ‘Lane-Watch’ blind spot monitor and a reverse camera.

The Honda Elevate is powered by a 1.5-litre V-TEC engine that produces a peak 119 bhp and 145 Nm of torque. Buyers will have the option of a 6-speed manual transmission and a 7-step continuously variable transmission (CVT). There is no diesel engine option, and Honda has ruled out a strong hybrid powertrain for the Elevate. It has, however, confirmed there will be an all-electric SUV based on the Elevate that will be launched within three years.
