I find this a more of a mature option as compared to Creta and Seltos, with a refined and consistent engine, decent interiour, simple sober looks..
That's the exact definition of Honda all around the world, pricing is the real game
Its so mature that it would be good for matured senior citizens only ..nothing to excite others specially youngsters
@vishal9676 Yes, that's true.. for driving enthusiastically its not that great..
Honda making indian customers fool. Better buy an used Hyundai.
Absolutely it is all round package it provides tried and test 1.5 ivtec engine
Forget the gimmicks....a good sorted engine ( because everyone here not here for drag races )....good steering feedback and adjustable both ways( which is rare these days), sorted space for everyone
Is elevate good or bad ?
@@hurtlocker9600 I don't know not driven one...but good 4 cyl NA engine...good space inside ..good steering ( adjustable) for a tall driver like me I don't find many cars with steering adjustable for reach...no matter how I adjust my seats far back I have to reach for the steering in most cars....so for me that's the priority....and Honda's reliability.... could be a boring car but good overall car... depends on the pricing as well...
I just booked hyryder
But when i drive skoda 1.0 its driving dynamics is beyond the words 😢
@@saupi5256 yes good reliable Honda 😀
tilt and telescopic steering is not rare, go in market you'll get to know
Seems like a almost perfect no nonsense car.
Adequate power, good ride, great comfort and GC, spacious and practical.
Honda ticked all boxes nicely.
For enthusiast drivers, we are forgetting that even if other brands have multiple engine options, thier NA engine is the one which sells the most.
Compared to all other NA engines, this one is the best one.
This NA engine + cvt seems like a perfect deal for most of the people out there.
Enthusiast are 1-2% only.
The only negative is missing hybrid engine but Honda knows it too. They intentionally skipped it because it will be very high in price (around 24-25) compared to city hybrid and people will just move to scorpio, harrier, xuv in that price range after complaining a lot on social media.
Should i go with hyryder or skoda or elevate 🤔
@@sky.1505 if you want great fuel economy then hyryder hybrid is better option.
Between 1500cc NA engine of Maruti, and 1000 cc turbo engine of kushaq , NA of Honda is better so you should go with elevate.
If you are want very fast car then you you should go with 1500 cc turbo engine of vw/Skoda.
As Simple as that
@@sky.1505 test drive all cars and see your requirement
Ya u can say there are few people who are enthusiast the people who want a safe car na engine this the car to consider
Bahath ho gaya Chota SUV, next time I’m planning to buy Fortuner Diesel. Is my decision good or not worthy?
2:33 talks about reliability and here enters the king of reliability
I'm 50 secs into the video and I already love it! @0:58 Looks of that dog was amazing. Leave the car and look at him posing for the camera🤣🤣
No, he came to piss on the wheels😂

Gaadi cancel, kutta le lete hai😂
Just came back after test driving elevate. This car will age well. 🙌🏻
I've bought Honda city with ADAS this month. And i completely agree with you that Honda should launch a hybrid model without ADAS to cut cost. Hybrid City/elevate at 15L will kill all compitition.
woh volkswagon wali.....😂😂😂
Taigun
😂😂😂
Wali nai wala😂 13:53
Even I get confused between Taigun and Tiguan! 😁
Taigun gun gun gun gun
It doesn't matter how the metal feels. With all the "heaviness" of the Korean twins, they barely manage a 3 star safety rating, whereas Honda has been hitting 5 star ratings since forever. Even Honda Jazz had a 5 star safety rating.
Having owned a City for the past 8 years, Honda is a brand where you can just buy the car and have peace of mind w.r.t safety, performance, comfort, reliability and ride.
Maintenance cost and servicing as compared to toyota Hyryder and other korean sisters.
Actually this car is looking quite better than over designed Korean Siblings, Front is looking refreshing and will look good last long, Just simple and sobher, Proper hybrid engine is extremely needed btw, Nice video and the ending was awesome Gagan bhaiya ❤️🙏🫡
honda used to be know for simplicity but they are now too in race of over design
Yea same here for me this looks better than Koreans it looks butch and upright and gagan here is Ill informed auto journalist he should know how Honda has scored in safety in the past ... This will be a no nonsense simple and long lasting car .
Koreans v achhe dikhte hain, par itne jyada dikhte hain roads pe ki dekh dekh k ab dekha nahi jaata. Kuch v alag usse achha lagega, infact refresh lagega. By d way ye gaadi v bahut achhi dikhti hai.
Personally looks better than creta but not better than seltos
@@abhishekparida666 lol yea .... Har gali me seltos aur creta dikhegi .... Infact I'm seeing more seltos than balenos ....
What else you need? Auto climate control, CVT and NV, Good headlights, seat height adjustment, decent tyre profile, nice steering feel. This is the car if it gets the pricing right.
Ventilated seats are essential in India. I would also love if Honda gives a better music system in ZX variant. Everything else are gimmicks and not required.
@@Ninad__ Honda gives good quality Bridgestone tyres unlike Koreans. That's more important than a sunroof.
Pano sunroof in india is a joke😂
Sunroof is a gimmick. Whatever it can do can be done by rolling down windows. We live in a country with hardly any shortage of sun or sunlight.
But yes ventilated seats should have been given in Zx. Plus nobody talks about need for 6 airbags as standard. Really dissapointed here as 6 airbags are more important than pano roof or electronic parking breaks and even 2nd top varient doesnt have that. If cost is a factor than prefer 6 airbags over other gimmick any day.
Polo GT has 1100 kg weight and 105 BHP power, does 0-100 under 10.5s. 1250 kg/119 BHP doesn't seem far off. Even if it does 0-100 under 12s but cruise at 120 without much stress, it should be enough for most.
u wont get the kind of midrange that turbocharged polo gt has.. city feels grossly underpowered
bro there is a thing called as torque and 144NM is somehow not enough for such a big car because of size and aerodynamics of SUV
Cause this car has bigger tyres and big size
Sometimes in life more choice is more confusion and more headache. Look at Brezza. With just one petrol N.A. engine it's selling so well. Ditto with old Brezza which sold well with just one diesel engine. I know some people who got so confused with too many engine gearbox combinations of korean cars that they went and bought a Honda City. For its simplicity. Such people will happily buy Elevate. I expect it to sell at least 6,000 units per month.
It will
You are so right!
Honda is safer than TATA and Creta. It’s a much better choice for a premium customer
TATA scores 5 star in safety unlike Honda.
I used to get 14 kmpl in city and 20 on highway from 2014 City CVT. The trick to get good mileage from CVT is to keep the RPM below 1500. And honda tunes their CVTs to do just that.
0:59 l liked the model standing behind the car.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I see ZX CVT as a very value for money option, and for me missing top important features are.
1.360-View Camera - Safety
2. Electric Seat Adjustment - Comfort
3. Sun blinds for windows - Comfort
4. Ventilated Seats - Comfort
5. No Hybrid - Milage
For me missing ventilated seats and was the biggest shock. If price was a problem could have given another a little more pricier variant with all these missing features.
Overall a great product from Honda
I liked this car. Honda pls pls give automatic CVT version under 14-15 lakh on road. I'll definitely buy.
Looks like an American suv with that upright stance and butch grill ... especially looks great in blue colour ....this will certainly have a commanding road presence.....
Reminds of GMC Denali
Elevate is still a better choice who r looking for Safety and Reliability at the same time💯
Bhai dekho elevate jitni safe to syd hyryder b ajaye
@@dheeraj1781 aap price kaa difference bhii dekh lena.🙂
I think lots of new buyers will buy it as you mentioned who don't want more features, and performance. Honda has built this elevate for mass buyers who just want service cost, service network, decent performance, safety (maybe it got 5star, i believe)...and it also comes in the middle of the creta and Nexon segment, for those who is seeing nexon top model and didn't want to buy the creta or seltos....
1:00 that stare 🐶 🔥
Doggo was posing… good part is that with all 4 feet on ground!😊
In this video i feel like he has some problem with honda
Yes I felt the same... I guess he is unhappy that they didn't provide the Hybrid version...
The best and the most detailed video of the Honda Elevate… Everything is explained keeping the buyer in mind and in simple language which one understands… I mean it
Simply a no nonsense car. A mature product 👍🏼
I am always waiting for your videos to watch a detailed, descriptive videos. Thanks
looks amazing ❤
Top class review ! Gagan sir well done
Front Parking sensor a vital miss for tight parking.
TPMS , Dashcamera is a must.
Very well edited videos, really love your new tricks to enhance video experience ❤
Your video making quality is improving day by day, love to watch your reviews
Hi, I am planning to buy the ZX CVT but I'm just worried about ADAS's CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking system). My usage in the city and typical congested Indian city condition.. bumper to bumper traffic.
I am worried about the system giving false warnings or warning it think is correct & then applying strong brakes. Worried about rear collision. Turning it off each time is impractical. Please let me if in your tests you found it to be problem or the system is good and not very intrusive to create a problem. Thanks
Most of Honda Cars manufactured and sold in India are Good 4/5 star rated by GNCAP like Amaze,City 4th Gen and Jazz which was almost 5 star rated if it would have scored 0.11 pts more
5th Gen City scored 5 star in Asean NCAP and same model selling in India (officially confirmed by Honda India) so it will definitely score 5 star rating if tested by GNCAP...
Sheet metal,Door thud doesn't define safety aspect
6:07 Why don't you mention that Creta and Seltos are 3/5 star rated that too boundary line and Elevate will definitely score at least 4 star or more than that because Honda's ACE body structure is anyday better than Hyundai's K platform
That In house crash test of Elevate looks promising because they have done test as per EURO NCAP standards like flat barrier,rear crash and Updated GNCAP protocols Pole,side impact tests etc
He love hyundai.. uski first car i20 thi
With all rating Gncap has also told that body unstable
@@7676ankush 😂😂👍
@@ananyavasudevrm Unstable body shell was of City 4th Gen.. Because platform was of Jazz with 1.2 litre engine and 4th Gen City has bigger 1.5 lit engine Rest of all got Stable Body shell Integrity
Gncap Secretary Mr Aljendaro Furas said that there is no difference between City and Jazz platform and he also said that Structurally both City 4th Gen and Jazz are very good
5th Gen has even advanced platform with 980Mpa of Ultra high strength steel,20% more Rigidity compared to 4th Gen and all safety features standard like ESP,3 point seatbelts,isofix mounts,4 airbags etc from base variant can result in 5 star gncap rating
lol he never talks negative about hyundai kia
Bhai aapki editing next level hai. Really appreciated❤👍,
I'm currently deliberating between the New Creta and the Elevate for my next car purchase. My budget falls within the range of 18L-19L. My daily commute primarily consists of approximately 80km within city limits, and I go on highway drives around 8-10 times a year. Safety and mileage are top priorities for me.
After evaluating various options, I've narrowed down my choices to these two cars. However, I'm facing a dilemma. With my budget, I can afford the Top CVT model of the Elevate, while with the Creta, I can only get the 2nd top model. Although the Elevate lacks some features offered by the Creta, Honda is renowned for its engine performance and reliability.
Moreover, I plan to keep this car for more than 10 years, so factors such as service cost and spare parts availability are crucial considerations for my decision. Additionally, I'm concerned about the potential discontinuation of the Elevate model by Honda, similar to what happened with the WRV and BRV models, and how it would impact service and parts availability in the long term.
I've received a significant discount from the Honda dealership for the Nov/Dec-2023 model. Considering this, should I still consider the Elevate, or would it be better to opt for the Creta for its features, look, and feel?
Given these factors, I would greatly appreciate your guidance on which option would be the best choice for me.
Simplistic design looks good. If Honda prices it competitively then it’s worth.
00:59 Real Owner Standing Behind the Car 😅😅😂
😂
very helpful .. I've booked an Elevate and awaiting delivery. Was good to understand the pros and cons
Elevate sold very less despite being a great machine! Priced okay at 15 to 20. Could be more competitive.
It's an all-rounder - reliable, decent mileage, strong and will age well.
Missing essentials:
Front parking sensor, 360 reverse cam, 6 air bags standard, ventilated seats, silent cabin.
What is its actual user mileage?
What is the safety rating and crash test result?
very nice review. you have pointed exactly what Honda missed out. looks like Honda team was under pressure to release a product to compete with Hyundai, Toyota and Suzuki. One of my favourite companies, Honda but somehow they are playing so small in India. They can do better.
Honda does very good job simple sobar wala thing I definitely choose honda❤
Point to Point Amazing cover 👍👍👍
Such an on spot review ❤
looks features everything is amazing ❤ liked it worth car
Gagan bhai, please also mention the exorbitant taxation prices on hybrids and how the GOI doesn't allow customers to purchase hybrid cars. If they wanted they would have made them more affordable. It's a smart decision by Honda not to bring Elevate Hybrid. 43% vs 45%, dekhlo bhai sab.
Hybrids have 45% tax? What about this one?
7:26 That is not a dummy button it has a lock inside it. If you have trouble with your key or getting engine started you can use it to start your engine without issues.
as usual. Ur reviews are always perfect. Elevate looks mature and sober. if diesel and/or hybrid would have offered then it would bang the market
Keep on with the new style of review. It surely helps in retaining viewers
Honda is like Batman, not something you asked for but something you needed 🤣
Cvt lever ke pass dummy button nahi hain... If ever your lever gets stuck.. You have to insert screwdriver in a notch of that button which will help you pry open the "dummy button" and then stick the screwdriver inside and your lever will get unstuck.
you are the true reviewer ❤️❤️
Bhai Mera to Dil aa gya hai ess car per
How will it perform in full load on uphill situations?
Best suv in segment 👍👍👍👍looks....best engine...space...ground clearance.. ❤️
No doubt Honda make some good looking and decent cars
0:59 gagan be like:- piche owner bhi khare hai unse bhi puch lete hai kesi lagi car 😂😂
Pure 26 min ke video me pani vala scene bahut hi badhiya tha gagan sir !!!!!!
Looks awesome in blue
13:14 Rumble strips ka to purpose hi wahi hota hai na? 🤔
Absolutely adorable! The way the dog was standing silently in one corner and watching the camera recording the car....
Absolutely true .adas with a cam doesn’t attract buyers .instead of that if they had hybrid in elevate and price it at 16-17 .it will sell like hot cake
Excellent review brother ❤❤❤
I think Gagan Points are totally valid if you look at the sub 20 lakh segment there are plenty of good opinions from sedans like virtus, verna, city, slavia to CSUVs with good performance like creta, seltos, Taigun/Kushaq, Hyryder/Grand Vitara etc and they provide plenty of features which you don't see in Elevate, apart from Honda reliability (which is no doubt is great) what you get here which sets elevate apart from compitition. As Gagan said this car is decent offering in this segment which not going to make buyers wow over it but creates another alternative in this segment. As always typical Honda just doing things for the the sake of doing thing in Indian market just look at the hybrid city that thing cost almost 5lakh extra which doesn't make much sense for many then then this Elevate just enough so they can have Suv in their lineup. It will be more more existing if Honda bring back their global RV lineup in India
Appropriate review! They could've done so much with Elevate but somehow Honda missed the bus. A simple, 27-28 KMPL mileage giving Hybrid Engine and a few cosmetic features like Panoramic Sunroof, 360 Degree Camera, Ventilated Seats etc could be the game changer, but Honda being Honda :)
Does it have same kind of low frequency vibration felt all over the car as in City?
Sir i am confused b/w virtus city and verna which should i buy ...please make vedio of these three sedans
All reviewers r applauding handling and steering feedback of this car ,they r super impressed but gagan u r saying total opposite of that . Also ride quality is best of this car as per all auto journalist but u r saying opposite here as well.
Although u r a good car reviewer I always feel u have soft corner for Koreans .
U always appreciate them more irrespective of whatever product they launch .
100%, this guy is tipped by Koreans.
Very informative and impressive video.... Keep it up bro 👍🏼
In my case, I owns a Grand Vitara, base model, which I got a month back. I considered the Hyrider, Creta, Seltos, Kushaq and finally went for the GV. Then came this one from Honda, and I was a bit skeptical. But with all these info I received, I am happy and feels that I've made the right choice - GV is the one for me ❤
Top notch editing 👍
Excellent review all points explained honda is really not entering in market like what they did with honda city diesel and amaze
Xuv300 may be a segment below, but does elevate feel better than xuv300 in ride handling and power
Xuv 300 feels better because that is turbo turbo charger provides extra punch to the engine that's why u have feel there is extra grunt in a car here na engine lacks but this engine performs better than any na engine in a market that it's rivals have
@@NishantSharma-cv9ww thx for reply, yes you are right, XUV 300 has good mid torque due to turbo especially in diesel. I wonder how the ride quality compares, maybe a test drive should answer..
Good review. pragmatic and unbiased
I drove Elevate and how can anyone say its under power ? It’s freaking awesome honestly only looks suck a bit but that’s personal choice
Unless u heading race track power discussion doesn’t apply to it
Sun roof choti hai ... Lol , for India sunroof is not required at all. And u do not need to climb outside 😂, that's not the purpose.
Muje sikha rahe ho? Matlab nye bande ho. 😃
@@GaganChoudhary haha 🤣 u reply says it all ...... No need to comment further. " Remember, there is always a bigger Fish"
I always mention that the sunroof isn't to hang outside in moving car. And also about sunroof not being all that important.
If There Is Hybrid And Some More Features It Will Be Best
Ek no.thumbnail h Gagan bhai 🎉
Grand Vitara Have Atleast Awd Not 100 percent Pseudo SUV Ok 👍
Look at the bonnet it’s unpainted from inside 😮🤔
Thoughts on hybrid is absolutely acceptable. Definitely sale will increase
I like it from the "front and rear".
NIceeee!
At 18:44 Gagan bhai ne kya chutki bajayi hai manual se sidha CVT se 😅😅
😂😂😂
Front looks MGish.
Stop comparing it to mg or any other car if you don't know Hondas product lineup... Honda has been using this front design in usa for more than a decade now...
This car is inspired by Honda pilot which is American suv...
Even sude proportion looks like hector
Brilliant video... Excellent coverage of all relevant aspects... Well done
Glad you liked it!
This guy best auto reviewer in India.
Always wait for gagan bhai videos ❤
They would have provided Hybrid as engine option at least at lower variant. Then it would be really interesting 😊
@gaganchoudhary HAEDLIGHT KA NIGHT ME PERFORMANCE KESA HE ?
AGAR SELTOS OR CRETA JESA HE YA XUV700 JESA HE YE TO BOLO .
have a question... like the 15 yr cap on petrol and 10 yr cap on diesel cars... whats the say on electric cars?
Toyota hyryder hybrid s variant or Honda elevate zx CVT which is worth to buy?
Great review bhaiya
The more I watch Elevate videos the more I'm starting to like it. I drive a 2017 Honda City CVT it's drives like a dream even now: that 1.5 i-VTEC and CVT is a marriage made in heaven: most youngsters may not agree but to I've lived with it for 7 years. Elevate has most of the essential features and has a down to earth retail price with ADAS. What more do you want. Like the way Elevate was captured on the road from outside in this video and it looked imposing and sexy at the same time (time stamp 10mins) very planted, indeed. It's a no nonsense car that will grow on you and endear to it's owners with it's reliability and fuss free performance even after the novelty factor wears off, it's more for a mature audience...I liked the video even though I may not to agree to all that you said.
I like the honest review you give... At least u don't manipulate your audience like other influencers do.
God bless you 👍
I am watching a video of this channel for the very first time and really enjoyed the way you explain things and connect with the audience. Nice and informative video.
Welcome to Gagan’s Galaxy
Great review Gagan bro. Loved it! That "Maja aa gya mere ko toh" at 20:18 gets me every time XD
In depth review, ;loved the opening and closing shots of you both in knee high water stream , Yeh Gaadi zaroor Honda Ko Paani Mein se nikalegi .... Very SENSIBLE product.Finally A Honda I liked after a lonnnnnnng time .
What do you think. How much it scores in global ncap?
Would love to buy but a bit worried about rusting. Have been a lifelong City user
What about mileage brother 16kmpl for CVT and manual only 15 the worth of nearly 20lakhs top end no all four disk only petrol ??
