Honda Elevate VX

The Honda Elevate VX is the mid-spec value-focused variant in Honda’s compact SUV lineup, offering the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with a 6-speed manual in India and a strong feature set for everyday use, including a sunroof, wireless phone charging, connected-car features, and Honda’s LaneWatch camera. It suits buyers who want a roomy, practical SUV with a premium feel without moving to the top trim.

The VX sits in the sweet spot of the Elevate range because it adds the more desirable comfort and convenience features without stretching into the pricier top trims. With the recent update, it becomes more compelling for buyers who want the 1.5-litre petrol Honda SUV with a manual or CVT and a stronger feature list than the lower variants.

Honda Elevate VX now sits in the 2026 facelift lineup, with the variant list expanded to SV, V, VX, ZX and ZX+, while the VX continues as the mid-spec choice for buyers who want a better feature set without moving to the top trims. The facelifted Elevate is launched in India from Rs 11.80 lakh ex-showroom, and VX is listed at Rs 13.93 lakh in current coverage, making it a key value point in the range.

The VX variant adds practical upgrades such as a sunroof, 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, LED headlamps, LED fog lamps, a wireless charger, a 6-speaker audio system and automatic folding ORVMs. It also gets comfort and convenience features like a LaneWatch camera, orange ambient lighting and auto-lock functionality, which improve everyday usability for urban buyers.

For 2026, the Elevate lineup brings several fresh features that improve the VX’s appeal, including a 360-degree camera, powered front seats, a PM 2.5 filter and Type-C charging ports. Honda has also retained the 1.5-litre petrol engine with manual and CVT options in the facelift, so buyers can still choose the same proven mechanical package while moving up to the newer equipment set.

Honda Elevate VX in India is currently listed at Rs 13.93 lakh ex-showroom for the manual and Rs 15.39 lakh for the CVT, with the facelift launch bringing updated variant positioning and features across the range.

Honda Elevate VX in India is petrol-only, with ARAI mileage commonly listed at 15.31 kmpl for the manual and 16.61 kmpl for the CVT; Honda’s own tech specs currently state 15.31 km/l for MT and 16.92 km/l for CVT, so the exact figure can vary by source and update date.

For the VX manual, expect the efficiency story to be straightforward: it is tuned more for relaxed drivability than outright frugality, so city mileage will usually sit well below the ARAI figure, while easier highway use should get closer to the claimed number.

If you are considering the VX CVT, the key update is that the automatic is the more efficient of the two on paper, with the latest published figures showing up to 16.92 km/l; that makes it the better choice if you want the convenience of an automatic without a major mileage penalty.
