Honda will introduce the Elevate midsize SUV in India on June 6.
The Elevate will compete in the very competitive midsize SUV market, which is dominated by almost all of India's major automakers. Honda has tested the Elevate extensively in both India and Japan, and the latest spy images from Japan give us a better look at this forthcoming SUV.
The second batch of Japanese spy photos of the future Honda Elevate SUV was just posted on Twitter. In these photos, the camouflage is thinner, allowing viewers to clearly see Elevate's upright design, which has been modified to meet the desires of Indian customers.
The SUV is similar to Honda's original teaser in that it has a high-set hood and a flat snout. The rear glass area and the integrated roof spoiler blend seamlessly with the flatter-than-before roof line, which also looks to be slightly tapering towards the rear. The spy photos also reveal tail-lamp designs similar to the most recent WR-V models sold in countries like Indonesia.
The angular taillamps with LED light guides featured in the spy photos of the Honda Elevate are a design element seen in contemporary Honda vehicles. The brake lights, reverse lamps, and indicators are anticipated to be halogen-equipped.
The City-like alloy wheel design is readily apparent; premium varieties will likely have a gloss black finish, while lower models can have normal silver appearances. According to the spy photos, one of the wing mirrors displays a 360-degree camera configuration and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which are both included in the vehicle.
The 1.5-litre petrol engine from the City in the Elevate SUV will be installed at launch, producing 121 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque. A six-speed manual gearbox or a CVT automatic will be available to buyers. The Elevate will eventually have a powerful hybrid powertrain, but it won't be unveiled until later.
Honda is reportedly planning to deliver the Elevate SUV by the end of August, while the pricing will likely be revealed at the beginning of that month.
