Accessories

Front Grille: The standard variant of the Honda Elevate in Japan comes with the same grille as the India-spec version, but Honda is offering an optional grille, which comes with thick vertical slats and chrome all around, as an accessory. It gives the SUV a far meaner look than the usual version.

Chrome Garnishes: The basic accessory you get with any car is garnishing on all corners, and the same is offered with the Japanese iteration of the Elevate. Customers can get chrome garnish on the front bumper, along the bottom edge of the doors, on the rear bumper and around the fog lamps.

More chrome garnish is being offered on the front fender which houses the “WR-V’ logo and on the sidestep, which has an illuminated 'WR-V' logo.

Chrome Exhaust Finish: The standard Elevate, or the WR-V, comes with a black exhaust pipe, over which, customers can get a chrome finish attachment that protrudes outwards a bit more.

Lastly, Honda is also offering a decal for the fuel lid, and a projector lamp for the front doors, that projects the new “WR-V” logo on the ground.

Apart from the cosmetic details, Honda also offers some practicality and convenience equipment as accessories listed above. While features like a rear parking camera, auto-folding ORVMs and LED fog lamps are being offered as optional equipment, they’re available with the higher variants of the India-spec Honda Elevate from the factory.

Japanese Elevate Powertrain Details

Honda hasn’t revealed the output figures of the new Japan-spec WR-V based on the Elevate, but it gets the same 1.5-litre petrol engine as the India-spec version. This unit churns out 121 PS and 148 Nm, and comes paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed CVT. The WR-V in Japan will most likely only come with the CVT option.

Features & Safety

There are some differences between the India-spec Elevate and the WR-V in Japan when it comes to the cabin and features. It gets an all-black cabin unlike the brown upholstery of the Honda Elevate sold here, and a different touchscreen unit while missing out on a sunroof and wireless phone charger.
