Honda Elevate to be priced at Rs….
After waiting for years and letting everyone overtake them, Honda has finally unveiled a proper SUV in the Indian market, the Elevate. Elevate is very important for Honda if it wants to survive in the Indian market. So Honda showcased the Elevate revealing all its important bits, but what about the pricing? In today’s article, let’s try to predict the price of the Honda Elevate.
Pricing details
So Honda has just unveiled the car and it has stated that it plans to open the bookings in July this year. The brand hasn’t given a fixed launch date but has stated it to be just before the festive season. What about the pricing? So Honda will have to price the Elevate quite aggressively. The base model could be priced around the Rs 12 lakh mark (on-road, Mumbai). This is on par with other cars in this segment. The higher variants are where Honda needs to play sensibly. The Elevate lacks some features and also misses out on hybrid and diesel. So we think it could be priced around Rs 19 lakh to Rs 20 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).

Honda Elevate price – Design
The Honda Elevate gets a design very similar to other global Honda SUVs. We have a boxy design with an upright grille in the front. Just above the grille, we have a chrome element separating the grille from the bonnet. We have sleek headlamps with DRLs above them. Honda has also given fog lamps. The side profile is clean, but it does resemble a lot of cars in its segment.
