Honda Elevate Petrol-Manual Mileage Test: Real World City, Highway Fuel Efficiency

Note: We tested the Honda Elevate petrol-manual on October 29, 2023. The fuel price mentioned in this article is applicable at the time of testing. However, the Elevate petrol-manual fuel efficiency figures (city and highway) are relevant even on the day you happen to be reading this post.

Testing Method

Before we provide the actual mileage of the Honda Elevate petrol-manual, let’s briefly explain our testing process so that you can decide if it matches your preferences, style and conditions for driving.

We use the tank-full-to-tank-full method, wherein we first fill up the fuel tank to the brim and reset the trip metre before commencing our 100km city drive in Delhi NCR traffic. We drive along the same route during weekdays to simulate a realistic city driving condition and with the same load to keep our test results consistent. Once we’re done with the Elevate city driving, we head back to the fuel station for a refill and note the trim metre reading to calculate city mileage and reset it before once again setting off for the highway run. For the Elevate petrol highway run, we choose the stretch around Sohna along the Delhi-Mumbai expressway and we drive it for 100km at a speed of around 100kmph. Then, we refill and note down the trip metre readings to calculate the highway mileage figure.

What Is The Actual City Mileage Of Honda Elevate Petrol-MT?

After driving the Elevate with the 1.5L normal petrol-manual powertrain in the city traffic for about 4 hours and 10 minutes we drove back to the fuel station. We covered 102km with an average speed of 24kmph. During refuelling, we were able to fill up 7.5 litres of petrol in the Elevate at a per litre petrol price of Rs. 97. Thus, the total bill stood at Rs. 727.5 and in our real-world city mileage test of the Elevate petrol-manual, we got a final fuel efficiency figure of 13.57kmpl.

What Is The Real Highway Mileage Of Honda Elevate Petrol-MT?

With the tank filled to the brim once again, we headed out on the Delhi-Mumbai expressway to test the highway mileage of the Elevate petrol-manual. During the highway run, we cruised at 100kmph and managed to complete our 102km drive in about 1 hours and 35 minutes. So, our average speed during the highway mileage test of the Elevate was 65kmph. After the drive, we managed to fill up 6.39 litres of petrol in our Elevate and incurred a bill of Rs. 619.83 with a fuel price of Rs. 97 per litre in Gurgaon, Haryana. During our highway run of the Honda Elevate with the 1.5L normal petrol-manual powertrain, we achieved a highway mileage of 16.02kmpl.

Claimed Mileage Vs Actual Highway/City Mileage Of Honda Elevate Petrol-MT — What’s The Difference?

Based on our mileage test, the Elevate petrol-manual gave us a city mileage of 13.57kmpl. On the highways, you can expect this figure to jump up by 18% to 16.02kmpl, as we saw in our Elevate mileage test.

Compared to its official claimed mileage figure, our Elevate petrol-manual city mileage turned out to be 13.57kmpl. Thus, showing a negative 11% deviation from the claimed figure. With this fuel efficiency, you can expect to incur a per kilometre fuel cost of Rs. 7.15 if you drive mostly in the city traffic with a fuel cost of Rs. 97 per litre.

In terms of highway mileage, we achieved a figure of 16.02kmpl with the Elevate we drove. This number of 16.02kmpl is more than the claimed mileage figure. Thus, the deviation in the highway mileage of the Elevate petrol-manual is positive 5%. At this rate, you can expect to spend Rs. 6.05 per kilometre for predominantly highway driving during the ownership.

Honda Elevate Petrol-MT — Actual City vs Highway Mileage, Custom Real Mileage, Fuel Cost Comparison

If your driving happens entirely on the highways or just within the city, then you know what mileage you can expect from the Honda Elevate petrol-manual. However, for those who have a mixed usage, we have compiled combinations of effective mileage of the Elevate MT based on the variations of city-highway driving ratio.

Using this customised city-highway combinations, you can better gauge what fuel costs and realistic fuel efficiency you can expect from the Elevate with the 1.5L normal petrol-manual powertrain.

*City mileage: 13.57kmpl; Highway mileage: 16.02kmpl; Petrol fuel cost in Gurgaon at the time of testing: Rs. 97 per litre.

Based on these combinations, for a 70% city and 30% highway usage, you can expect a real world mileage of 14.31kmpl and a per kilometre fuel cost of Rs. 6.78 from the Elevate. With a flipped combination, where you drive the Elevate 70% on the highways and 30% in the city, you can expect your real-world mileage figure to hover around 15.29kmpl with fuel costs around Rs. 6.34 per kilometre.

For an even split of city and highway usage, your real fuel efficiency with the Elevate 1.5L normal petrol-manual powertrain, your effective real mileage is likely to be closer to 14.80kmpl. Thus, your per kilometre fuel costs could be around Rs. 6.55.

Real Driving Range (Full Tank Driving) Of Honda Elevate Petrol-MT For Your Driving Requirements

The Honda Elevate with the 1.5L normal petrol-manual powertrain comes with a 40-litre fuel tank. With this capacity and our realisting mileage estimates, you can expect to get a range of 489km to 577km depending on whether your driving is entirely within the city or on the highways.

With a 70-30 driving split in favour of city usage, you can expect a full tank range of 515km from the Elevate. However, if you flip the driving condition split to 30-70 in favour of highway, then you should expect a range 550km with a full tank of fuel. On an even split of 50% city driving and 50% highway driving, you will have to refuel about every 533km.

*Tank range estimated based on 90% fuel usage with 10% remaining in reserve

At the time of testing the Honda Elevate petrol-manual, each refuelling will cost you Rs. 3,492 if you fill up 90%. This is assuming the petrol cost of Rs. 97 per litre as of October 29, 2023 in Gurgaon, Haryana.
