Our source tell us that Honda will launch the Elevate SUV in the first half of August. The carmaker is likely to reveal the SUV to the world in June and open bookings in July. The new Elevate SUV is likely to borrow design cues from other Honda SUVs sold in global markets and share its powertrains and underpinnings with the Honda City.

Honda Elevate Design Details

While the dimensions and design details of the Elevate SUV are under wraps, images of the SUV wrapped in camouflage give us a hint about its exterior design. The Elevate is likely to draw inspiration from larger Honda SUVs like the new CR-V. It could feature slim LED headlights up front, along with LED DRLs and a large chrome grille. At the rear, it could feature connected LED tail lights and a prominent skid plate on the bumper.

Honda Elevate Expected Features

The biggest highlight of the Honda Elevate could be its advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features. Currently, the MG Astor is the only C-segment SUV to offer ADAS features and the Honda Elevate could soon join the party and ‘elevate’ customer experience.

Take a look at the expected ADAS features of the Elevate SUV:

• Auto emergency braking (AEB)
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
• Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
• Auto High Beam (AHB)
• Blind spot camera

Furthermore, the Elevate could also offer features like a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 6 airbags, 360-degree parking camera, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, electric sunroof, front and rear armrests, automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers.

Honda Elevate Powertrain Details — No Diesel Engine Option

We are confident that like other Honda models sold in India, the Elevate SUV will not get a diesel engine option and only offer petrol and strong hybrid powertrains. The Elevate is likely to get the City’s 1.5L normal petrol engine that produces 121PS of power at 6600rpm and 145Nm of torque at 4300rpm. Transmission choices could include a 6-speed manual and a 7-step CVT. Honda could also offer the 1.5L strong hybrid powertrain of the City e:HEV hybrid with the new SUV. The hybrid variants of the Honda SUV could rival the hybrid variants of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.
