Honda Elevate Facelift Price Reveal Tomorrow: Top Changes
Honda is all set to reveal the price of the facelifted Elevate in India tomorrow, according to Car Lelo. The mid-size SUV, which competes with the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, is expected to receive a host of cosmetic and feature updates. While the official details are still under wraps, analysts say the facelift will likely focus on refreshing the SUV’s appeal in a crowded segment. The current Elevate was launched in 2023, and this update comes at a time when competition in the mid-size SUV space is intensifying. Car Lelo reports that the price announcement will happen tomorrow, and dealerships have already started accepting unofficial bookings in some cities.
The facelifted Honda Elevate is expected to sport a revised front grille, new alloy wheel designs, and updated bumpers. Inside, the changes could include a larger touchscreen infotainment system, wireless smartphone connectivity, and an upgraded instrument cluster. Safety features are also likely to be enhanced, with the possible addition of a 360-degree camera and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). However, Honda has not confirmed any of these details officially. Analysts say that the company may also introduce new colour options and variant rejig to streamline the lineup. The powertrain is expected to remain unchanged: a 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 121 PS and 145 Nm of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT gearbox. The current Elevate is priced between ₹11.58 lakh and ₹16.20 lakh (ex-showroom, India), and the facelift is likely to command a slight premium.
| Feature | Current Elevate | Expected Facelift |
|---|---|---|
| Infotainment | 8-inch touchscreen | 9-inch or larger |
| Instrument Cluster | Analog with 7-inch MID | Fully digital |
| Safety | 6 airbags, ESC, hill assist | Possible 360-degree camera, ADAS |
| Sunroof | Single-pane | Panoramic (expected) |
| Price Range (ex-showroom) | ₹11.58 lakh – ₹16.20 lakh | Likely ₹11.90 lakh – ₹16.80 lakh |
While the exact price hike is unknown, analysts anticipate a marginal increase of around ₹20,000 to ₹60,000 depending on the variant. The facelift is crucial for Honda, as the Elevate has been a slow seller compared to segment leaders. In October 2026, the mid-size SUV segment saw record sales, with the Hyundai Creta leading the pack. Honda will hope that the updates help the Elevate gain traction. Dealers suggest that the waiting period for the new model could be around 4-6 weeks initially. The launch event tomorrow will be streamed online, and bookings are expected to open simultaneously. Honda is also likely to offer extended warranty packages and service plans to attract buyers.
Analysts say that the facelift could help Honda regain some market share, but pricing will be key in a segment where competitors offer more features at aggressive prices.
The facelifted Elevate will continue to be manufactured at Honda’s Tapukara plant in Rajasthan. The company has been focusing on India as a key market, and the Elevate is its only SUV offering here. With the facelift, Honda aims to keep the model fresh until a full model change arrives. The price reveal tomorrow will be followed by media drives and customer deliveries starting later this month. For those looking to buy a reliable mid-size SUV with Honda’s famed reliability, the facelifted Elevate could be a strong contender.
