    It is the SUV’s entry-level variant if you want it with the petrol-automatic combo

    Honda Elevate V variant

    The Honda Elevate SUV’s second-from-base V variant commands a premium of more than a lakh rupees over the entry-level SV trim. Not only does it get some useful infotainment and safety feature upgrades over the SV variant, but it also is the entry-level variant if you want the Elevate with an automatic transmission at a premium of over Rs 2 lakh. Let’s check if the premium it commands is justified:

    Variant

    1.5-litre Petrol MT

    1.5-litre Petrol CVT

    V

    Rs 12.11 lakh

    Rs 13.21 lakh

    VX

    Rs 13.50 lakh

    Rs 14.60 lakh

    Difference

    Rs 1.39 lakh

    Rs 1.39 lakh

    Why Consider The Elevate V?

    For the premium that the Elevate V commands over the base-spec SV, the former gets useful additions in the form of some comfort and convenience features, and safety tech as well. The Honda SUV now gets an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, connected car tech, and a 4-speaker music system. Safety additions include a reversing camera with guidelines and a rear defogger. It’s also the entry-level variant if you want the SUV’s petrol-CVT combo.

    Why Skip The Elevate V?

    Although the V variant gets some premium comfort and convenience features along with additional safety tech over the entry-level variant, you still don’t quite get a premium experience for the jump. If you truly want an ‘elevated’ experience over base, we recommend you stretch the budget to the next trim (VX). For a further premium of under Rs 1.5 lakh, Honda is offering the Elevate VX with functional features such as wireless phone charging, a single-pane sunroof, LaneWatch camera, and even 17-inch alloy wheels.

    Variant

    Verdict

    SV

    The variant of our choice if you wish to buy the petrol-MT option. Accessorise it and skip upgrading to 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. 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.
