The mid-spec V trim of the Honda Elevate is also the entry-level automatic variant of the compact SUV 

Update (04/09/23): Honda has announced the prices of the Elevate SUV.

The Honda Elevate is all set to enter the battle of compact SUVs, and its bookings are already underway for Rs 5,000. The automaker will announce the prices on September 4. Ahead of that, the units have already arrived at Honda dealerships.

Though the Elevate will be available in four broad trims, in this story, we have detailed the one-above-base V trim of the Elevate in six pictures.

Let’s begin with the fascia. This mid-spec V variant features LED headlights connected by a chrome bar. While it does have the same imposing grille as the top-end variant, it doesn’t get fog lamps. That said, there are no other alterations to the front of the SUV.

In profile, this particular variant of the Elevate doesn't feature alloy wheels, instead sitting on 16-inch steel wheels with plastic covers. Another noticeable omission are the roof rails. Nonetheless, it still gets ORVM-mounted turn indicators and body-colored door handles. In contrast, the top-spec Elevate variant boasts chrome door handles and dual-tone colourways.

From the rear, the V variant of the Elevate comes with LED tail lamps and a shark fin antenna, but no rear wiper.
