Honda announced its entry into the mid-size SUV segment with the launch of the Elevate in September 2023. While it is priced competitively, it misses out on some features that are offered by its rivals.<\/p>\n
Honda has left out features like ventilated seats and a panoramic sunroof. However, customers can get the former installed as an accessory for a cost of Rs 6,000.<\/p>\n
Honda\u2019s official list of accessories for the Elevate includes ventilated seat covers. Unlike proper \u201cventilated seats\u201d, this is a cover that can strapped onto the regular seat. It is powered via the 12V socket and even offers a massage function.<\/p>\n
Now, it\u2019s unclear as to how the ventilated seat covers perform compared to the factory-fitted ones. However, given the competition, we can expect future iterations of the Elevate to get features that are missing in the existing package.<\/p>\n
The Honda Elevate is available in four variants: SV, V, VX and ZX. The SUV is powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine producing 119 BHP @ 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm @ 4,300 rpm. It is mated with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed CVT.<\/p>\n
