The Honda Elevate facelift has been introduced in India on October 6, 2026, at an ex-showroom price of Rs 11.80 lakh to Rs 18.40 lakh. The starting price remains unchanged. The more interesting story is the CVT variants, which are priced around Rs 1.5 lakh higher than the manual and now get features that the manual doesn’t.
What the CVT Costs Extra
The base SV comes only with a manual gearbox at Rs 11.80 lakh. From the V trim upwards, you can choose either gearbox. The V CVT is offered at Rs 13.79 lakh, while the V manual costs Rs 12.29 lakh. The price difference stays between Rs 1.46 lakh and Rs 1.50 lakh in the VX, ZX and ZX+ variants too. The highest priced ZX+ Black Edition with CVT is priced at Rs 18.40 lakh.
Features Only the CVT Gets
Honda has retained two helpful features for the automatic. The first is an electronic parking brake with auto hold, which holds the vehicle at a red light without you pressing the brake pedal. The second is adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, which is part of Honda’s safety suite, Honda Sensing. It can assist in slow, stop and go traffic. Manual buyers get neither feature.
Honda Elevate Facelift Mileage: A Small Surprise
On paper, the CVT is the more efficient choice. The CVT has a claimed 16.61 kmpl and the manual 15.31 kmpl. There’s a catch, however. The CVT figure is 0.31 kmpl lower than the previous 16.92 kmpl. Actual mileage may vary.
New Features for All Buyers
The facelift features a 360-degree camera, rear ventilated seats, capacitive-touch rear reading lamps, front parking sensors and rear disc brakes. The rear ventilated seats are reported as a segment first. Feature lists vary from trim to trim, so be sure to find out what the variant you are interested in has before booking. The 10.25-inch touchscreen, semi-digital instrument cluster, single-pane sunroof, six airbags and wireless charger are carried over from the previous model.
What Has Not Changed
The engine remains unchanged, producing 120hp and 145Nm naturally aspirated petrol. It is still the only engine on offer. No diesel, CNG, turbo-petrol or hybrid available. Some trims have also seen a price increase. The V, VX and ZX cost Rs 2,000, Rs 1,000 and Rs 21,000 more than before, and the top end is Rs 1.94 lakh costlier.
Test drive both gearboxes before you make your decision on the Honda Elevate facelift. Also, inquire about the on-road price in your city as the above prices are ex-showroom Delhi.
