Honda Elevate facelift just  ₹11.80 lakh! Same engine, but buyers get a surprising upgrade

Price Freeze

Honda has refreshed the Elevate without raising its entry price. The facelift starts at ₹11.80 lakh (ex-showroom), exactly where the previous model began, but the SUV now packs more equipment and a new ZX+ variant, making the unchanged price tag one of the most interesting parts of the update.

Rear Luxury

The biggest surprise is not hiding under the bonnet. The new ZX+ gets ventilated rear seats, a feature Honda calls a segment first, alongside an 8-way powered driver seat and 4-way powered front passenger seat, pushing rear-seat comfort into sharper focus.

Sharper Face

The Elevate's makeover is most obvious from the front, where a larger mesh grille, connected tri-bar LED lighting, gloss-black details and a redesigned bumper give the SUV a considerably more aggressive visual identity than its predecessor.

Feature Surge

Honda has used the facelift to load up the higher variants with technology. The ZX+ gets a 360-degree camera and front parking sensors, while the ZX offers a 10.25-inch touchscreen and 8-speaker audio system, changing the equipment equation without mechanical upgrades.

Familiar Engine

Underneath the new styling, Honda has deliberately resisted changing the mechanical package. The Elevate continues with its 1.5-litre naturally aspirated i-VTEC petrol engine producing 121 PS and 145 Nm, paired with either a 6-speed manual or CVT.

Safety Boost

The facelift quietly adds meaningful safety and convenience upgrades rather than chasing headline power figures. CVT versions now get low-speed follow with Adaptive Cruise Control, while the package includes collision braking, lane-keeping assistance and road-departure mitigation.
