Honda Cars India has launched the facelifted Elevate in the Indian market on October 6, 2026. The updated mid-size SUV gets a refreshed exterior design, additional features and cabin upgrades as Honda looks to strengthen its position in the competitive SUV segment. India is the first market globally to receive the updated Elevate.
The Honda Elevate facelift continues to compete with models such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Maruti Suzuki Victoris and Tata Sierra. While the facelift brings several cosmetic and feature changes, Honda has retained the existing petrol engine and has ruled out a hybrid version for the updated SUV.
