Honda Elevate facelift teased ahead of October launch in India

Honda Cars India has commenced pre-bookings for the facelifted Elevate mid-size SUV ahead of its scheduled market launch on October 6, 2026. Customers can currently book the vehicle through authorized dealerships with a token payment of Rs 21,000.

The updated model features several exterior design changes, including a redesigned grille with a glossy hexagonal pattern, segmented LED daytime running lights, and connected LED taillights. Notably, the Honda logo has been relocated from the grille to the leading edge of the bonnet. The interior is expected to receive premium upgrades such as white leatherette padding, ambient lighting, and a potential new color theme.

Expected feature additions include a 360-degree camera, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The vehicle is anticipated to retain its 1.5-litre, four-cylinder iVTEC petrol engine, producing approximately 120 bhp and 145 Nm of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT automatic transmission.

Design elements of the facelift appear to draw inspiration from the WR-V TrailSport HRC Concept showcased in Japan, specifically regarding the LED lighting signatures and emblem placement.
