Honda Elevate V

Honda Elevate V in India is the mid-spec variant that keeps the 1.5-litre petrol engine and is sold with both manual and CVT options, making it a sensible pick for buyers who want a spacious 5-seat SUV without moving to the pricier trims. The latest facelifted version now adds more value with features such as an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, connected-car tech, rear USB-C ports, a rear camera and a rear defogger; CVT versions also get paddle shifters and remote engine start.

The Honda Elevate V is the value-focused mid variant in the updated 2026 lineup, priced at ₹12.29 lakh for the manual and ₹13.79 lakh for the CVT, and it now gets key convenience upgrades such as a 360-degree camera, powered front seats, rear parking sensors and electronic parking brake. It still uses Honda’s 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, so it suits buyers who want a roomy, refined SUV with an automatic option rather than outright performance.

Honda has updated the Elevate in India for 2026, and the V variant now sits at Rs 12.29 lakh ex-showroom for the manual and Rs 13.79 lakh for the CVT, with the update bringing a larger touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, connected-car tech, and more safety equipment.

The Elevate V is a strong middle variant if you want the 1.5-litre petrol SUV with practical everyday features without stretching to the top trims: it gets the 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Honda Connect, rear camera, rear defogger, and, in CVT form, paddle shifters and remote engine start.

For buyers focused on value, the V trim is now positioned below the richer VX and ZX variants but above the base SV, so it makes sense if you want the core convenience and safety features of the facelifted Elevate without paying for the more premium add-ons seen higher up the range.

Updated Elevate V is priced at Rs 12.29 lakh ex-showroom in India, with the manual variant now part of Honda’s 2026 facelift rollout and the V trim positioned as the entry point to the refreshed line-up. It is a sensible buy if the focus is on the new update, but the value case depends on whether the added features matter more than the price gap to lower trims.

Honda Elevate V in India is reported with a claimed mileage of 15.31 kmpl for the manual and 16.61 kmpl for the CVT, and recent updates indicate the CVT figure has dropped from the earlier 16.92 kmpl figure.
