Variant	Verdict
SV	The variant of our choice if you wish to buy the petrol-MT option. Accessorise it and skip upgrading to the V variant.
V	Only pick if you want the Elevate with an automatic gearbox on a budget. Else, go to the next variant.
VX	Gets a lot more tech at a justifiable premium. But can be skipped if you want the full premium Honda experience.
ZX	Pick it for a better cabin experience, more tech, safety features and dual-tone paint option.
