If you are planning a make a booking, have a look at the 10 colour options along with the variant-wise powertrain distribution:

Colour Options

Phoenix Orange Pearl (VX, ZX)

Obsidian Blue Pearl (V, VX, ZX)

Radiant Red Metallic (V, VX, ZX)

Platinum White Pearl (SV, V, VX, ZX)

Golden Brown Metallic (V, VX, ZX)

Lunar Silver Metallic (SV, V, VX, ZX)

Meteoroid Gray Metallic (V, VX, ZX)

Phoenix Orange Pearl with Crystal Black Pearl Roof (ZX CVT)

Platinum White Pearl with Crystal Black Pearl Roof (ZX CVT)

Radiant Red Metallic with Crystal Black Pearl Roof (ZX CVT)

The colour options for the Elevate vary depending on the variant chosen. The base-spec SV variant only gets Platinum White Pearl and Lunar Silver Metallic. The one above base V trim gets all monotone colours except for the Phoenix Orange Pearl, which is available with the higher-spec VX and ZX variants in addition to the six monotone colour options. However, the three dual-tone colours are limited to the range-topping ZX CVT variant.

Variant-wise Powertrain Split

The Honda Elevate is being offered only with the City’s 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that churns out 121PS and 145Nm. This unit is mated with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT gearbox. Except for the base-spec SV, all other trims get both transmission options. Like confirmed earlier, Honda will not be offering the Elevate with a strong-hybrid powertrain.

Expected Price and Launch

Honda will launch the Elevate this year in September and we expect it to be priced from Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards. Once launched, it will be a rival to the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, MG Astor and the upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross.
