2023 Honda Elevate Drive Review - MT & CVT
ฝัง

- With just a single engine option available, Honda is playing it safe with their Elevate SUV. There is going to be no diesel or hybrid option, but a full-electric version which is 3 years away from now. So is this 1.5L NA petrol engine coupled to a 6-speed MT or a 7-step CVT good enough for the moment? Watch our detailed drive review video to find out...

I am seeing your video for the first time and believe me, your narration is top notch. You have a very unique way of communication which I like . Very few car reviewers speak with the clarity and sensibility that you do. Kudos and keep it up.
One of the most detailed drive review, great content, thanks.
Unlike Maruti, Hyundai and many others Honda IVTEC always delivers more mileage than ARAI figures. I used to get 20-21 kmpl on my Amaze Petrol 2019 model with company claiming only 19 kmpl. Honda IVTEC is the best petrol engine👍
Absolutely correct . My amaze MT Ivtec arai claim is 18 kmpl . Highways at 80-85 kmph I have got 21 kmpl tank to tank . On the mid it was showing 21.4
Same with my wrv petrol too.. Company claim is 16.4km/l, but am getting an average of 17.5kms/l and in highways am getting around 19kms..
Thanks man, I just love your reviews. They have everything, you cover all aspects with a lot of details.
Glad you like them!
One of the best presenters. Gets into minute details and provides fair analysis.
Thanks for watching, happy to help.
@@SHIFTINGGEARScom Sir, CVT + paddle shifters or MT, which is better is highways. Mine wud be highway driving only. I already booked Elevate MT but after seeing ur video, I am thinking whether to take CVT or not. My priorities are rapid overtaking, hard acceleration (quickly attaining 0-100), responsiveness etc. So Is CVT (in S-M mode) as quick as Manual? Kindly advice. Thanks in advance.
I always wait for your detailed reviews. Nice review. Will be good if u include a part in a review with fully loaded car at least with 4 passengers to check performance 👍
Thanks for watching...
Unfortunately on official media drives, we can't tag along so many people with us.
One of the detailed reviewer with fair talk. Only downside is, he is always late, taking away the pleasure. I by chance happened to be the first viewer today
Thanks for watching.
We avoid the embargo day spam.
Anyway, the videos are almost 4-5x longer, so takes time to edit.
Apologies for the delay...
very lovely review. Is there a difference when driving the manual car Vs the S mode with paddle shifters. Do they drive with the same feel and peppiness?
My dream SUV this! Ageless design.. best all-rounder
Very informative this will help decide many buyers.. tq
Please do make a video on hyryder hybrid including power ,gearbox,rear seat ,boot reality and other aspects
I think it's a perfect car for someone like me who is very light on the throttle, drive at 90-100 on highways on the middle lane.
How CVT perform in the ghat section specially during climb compare to MT with 4 passengers along with driver? I own a City VX 2016 MT planning to upgrade..
Sir nice review but what's your recommendation on manual vs cvt?
CVT vs MT in terms of real world mileage for long term, which one would be better? Taking into consideration price too.
Where were you uptill now? Kudos 🎉
Heyy,
Would you please test drive🛻 elevate CVT on steep hilly roads and mountain terrains with full load(5 people & lugguage )and A/c On??. As lot of people living in villages of Indian States need to use at these terrains⛰️🏔️!Thanks
Also Toyota hyryder full hybrid on same conditions aswell..??
Sir how is the engine performance of Elevate compared to Creta 1.5 Petrol manual, related to pick up, roll on acceleration and overall performance?
Excellent review. im requesting you to suggest me on my following requirement. My drive is 40%in city and 60% on highways. I need a SAFE Vehicle with Upright high seating so that road ahead of immediate vehicle in the front is also visible for safe manoeuvring. Also i keep cars for 10-15 years before changing to next one. WHich one suits my reqmt best. Maruti Jimny or Honda Elevate?. Pls think of wading in city or highway flood waters too inmonsoon, Can honda manage these ? Jimny can definitely can take care of flood part. Pls advise.🙏
Nice review. Shades se kaan k uper gaddhe ho jaenge😂. Jokes apart is there enough dashboard reflection for sufficing shades?
Looks to be an excellent car👍
I think so too!
How is the noise inside? In my driving experience I started getting a headache due to Tyre noise at 100kmph on the highway drive. Seriously irritating noise
Hii Bro very nice drive review of Honda Elevate CVT transmission Petrol variant each and every deep information... Keep it up Bro... 👍👍👌👌
Thanks a ton
Best review 👌🏻👌🏻
Glad you think so!
@@SHIFTINGGEARScom Hi great video! I’m planning to buy a Honda Elevate VX CVT and have a dealer-fitted CNG kit installed. Considering my daily commute of 45 km in Gurgaon traffic, do you think this is a good decision? If you have any alternative suggestions, I’d love to hear them. Thanks!
Road noise seems very high? Is it?
Hello Dear,Always Loved your videos.
Can you pls compare city 2023 MT vs elevate MT ,in terms of driving dynamics, ride comfort,body roll , suspension and overall feel in cabin for all 4 passengers along with driver..mileage is also concern along with Ground clereance..Pls advise.
Drives just as good, or may be better.
Ground clearance is fantastic.
Ride quality is super comfortable.
Body roll evident compared to city, but well in check.
Gear ratios are different and so are the electronics functioning with respect to the size and weight.
Mileage will easily be double digit, typical of a Honda.
Cabin is easily good for 4 healthy adults.
Not doubt it's a good review but with no hybrid and EV in 2025 can you please let me know what future does it hold beyond 3 years from now
Parichay, I own 2016 Honda Jazz 1.2 i-vtec manual. My biggest gripe are lack of power with AC and 3-4 people onboard. Also, ride quality on rear seats is choppy on Mumbai-Pune expressway and there is lost of road noise and engine drone experienced in cabin. Does Elevate addresses these problems if I were to upgrade?
Cabin is not as quiet as in the Korean competition.
Ride quality is surely better than the Jazz.
But power, is just about acceptable. Not bad, but nothing great at all.
From a Jazz, you would surely feel like an upgrade. But competition offers much more, so you might feel a bit unhappy about that.
Just for reference, from a Jazz, I personally would upgrade to a Kia Carens. Best of features, engine options & space.
How is elevate on the hill station road please please please reply
Nice Review of Elevate CVT .I shall like to purchase this SUV as Against Creta or Selfie .❤
Good choice
What’s selfie
Maruti selfie 💀
Nice review.
Sir, CVT + paddle shifters or MT, which is better is highways. Mine wud be highway driving only. I already booked Elevate MT but after seeing ur video, I am thinking whether to take CVT or not.

Cvt is good for cruising. If you want a more aggressive drive than manual all the way.check out faisal khan review on elevate.
CVT + paddle shift is not equal to manual. If you need sudden acceleration get city petrol manual. CVT don’t not have number of gears like other transmission system. 1-7 paddle shift gears are just virtual. Ideally the gear changes will not happen in steps like other transmission, it will be continuous
Hi. Since you own a city, you're in an ideal place to compare this to the city. How are the ride dynamics as compared to the City? Is the interior so much better or on par considering besides color changes, pretty much everything is the same. Is ground clearance so much of an issue on the city, that you need to pay a premium for the Elevate? i See features like all 4 one touch window missing on the Elevate compared to the CIty. Any other ommisions? Is this so much of a better product compared to the city for the price premium, not to mention the discounts you'll get with the city. I see this as a city with a higher ground clearance with the sacrifice of real world mileage of almost 2kms per litre with possibly the ride dynamics inferior to the city too with the higher GC. do clarify the finer comparison between the two. I only ask cause i feel you'll be able to get the city for almost 1.5 lakhs cheaper than the elevate with no highlight to justify that price besides higher GC and different color interior.
Even I have the same question and feeling regards the city and elevate
We have no issues with the City, even with the GC. Only problem is the DPF, which is only related to the diesel. But the diesel engine is now gone.
The Elevate rides very well, and given the roads & c-grade speed breakers built by illiterate contractors, the SUV body adds to your peace of mind.
Interior quality is at par, slightly more premium feeling thanks to colours. But no exceptional additional feature in there.
If you don't have very specific taste, and want to save, but want a Honda; then the City is a great product. Not to forget that at the Elevate price, you could possibly buy the city hybrid.
Only omission in my opinion is ventilated seats.
Panoramic sunroof makes no sense in our hot weather anyway.
Both the City & Elevate, will be comfortable for 4 & a squeeze for 5. But you can haul more luggage in the Elevate.
@@SHIFTINGGEARScom Vindicated in believing you were the right person for this reply. Thank you for your more comprehensive 2 cents. If the price isn't too far away from the CIty, then maybe Elevate will be the choice. Just slightly put off with the idea that same not so powerful engine on a heavier, roader tyred, less aerodynamic package, where power may feel even lesser.
Hybrid was the obvious choice for me until i realized, it negates one of the main advantages of a sedan which is boot space. Elevate with a hybrid would've been a great success imo.
Also, hybrid thanks to the taxes i feel is hard to justify the value. Feel it may be priced about a lakh and a half to two lakhs
too high.
Appreciate your thoughts. Cheers :)
I have city and test drove elevate. Elevate is underpowered. Sudden acceleration and overtakes are fantastic in city not so good in Elevate especially in CVT. Moving from city to elevate seem to be a downgrade to me than upgrade.
Is it suitable in hilly areas and off road?
Yes.
Fancy features are temporary..Engine reliability is permanent ..
what do you suggest seltos HTX IVT or Elevate ZX CVT ?
elevate, feels so much better
Seltos for features and upmarket feel. Elevate for better mechanics.
Hi, I am planning to buy Honda Elevate ZX but I am confused between MT or CVT.
My drive is very less mostly within city and usually with family over weekends. Say around 500 kms per month only.
Please guide me.
My budget is bit stretched for ZX CVT but I am more comfortable with price of ZX MT.
Please suggest which would better suit my requirements.
Cvt or mt which has a premium drive feel
CVT. Traffic isn't getting better anywhere. CVT is SMOOTH!
If you carefully observe, the cabin feels much small compared to exteriors and even competition.
It's discouraging to see elevate without hybrid. Honda entered so late into SUV Segment that too with half hearted features. It's disheartening. Thay can plan EV 3 yrs later but could have covered these three years with hybrid model with competitive features. Then there was strong possibility of killing all rivals in suv Segment.
Hopeless entry of Honda into SUV Segment.
Why screen is blinking?
It's just the camera frame rate... Screen is working fine...
You absolutely touched well on the point of under thigh support. Its lacking on both front and back seats. And this was the sole reason I dropped my decision to purchase this car.
So you are getting inferior engine cars ?
@@vid111 for me engine is not the sole criteria.
Yes..underthigh support is less..along with mileage and engine sound this is con for Elevate which is otherwise very good car.
Dude! Reposition your camera so you don’t take your eyes off the road a million times during the talk. Also signal while switching lanes especially those sudden ones! Gosh!
What about EV industry as we can see indian government are going to stop disel engine till 2027 so disel pumps will be stop so if we purchase petrol now and they will stop petrol also then sell will be stop on petrol pumps so these are the reasons is running in my mind so atleast if i am buying some care it should be till 15 years time limit so just want to know about this pointers.
Elevate have single point to survive from seltos..
Lowest price is most important factor for this car good sales.
If Price start from 10lk then..Honda will survive from seltos.
Yes.. is More lower then Honda City price... but No need to worries about city sales.
Because Sedans are Already died.
In higher price
Kia seltos have better features list in compare to elevate.. so higher price is harmful for elevate sales.
High price and low features surving brand Example.
Nokia, Kodek , ford india. all this brand think that they are reliable.
I think they won’t last in the market
Incisive
