The car has been excellent. Engine performance feels superb. There is a little engine and tyre noise in the cabin that might bother some, but I find it pleasant since it is mild. The iVTEC revs freely and loves high rpm. Body control is well sorted with very little roll, so taking sharp curves at higher speeds feels composed, unlike some SUVs like the Scorpio that feel tippy. Boot space is outstanding. The steering has plenty of buttons for calls and volume, and there are no touch buttons for the AC, which is a smart choice by Honda since I can change AC or defogger settings without taking my eyes off the road. The cabin finish is excellent and the build feels solid with heavy doors, bonnet, and boot. I picked the Honda Elevate for three key reasons: Safety with solid build and heavy doors, 5 star in JNCAP; engine reliability; and braking that inspires confidence. In Patna, Aastha Honda service has been amazing and hassle free. Downsides: the lights are weak. I do not know why Honda does not offer better headlights on scooters or cars, so I installed fog lamps because my model did not have them from the factory. Mileage could be higher. I am not a mileage chaser and I drive only 5 to 6 days a month for long trips, but better efficiency would be nice. In the city I get 10 to 12 kmpl. On the highway I see about 12 kmpl when driving hard and up to 14.8 kmpl when I go easy. Ground clearance is great, perfect for our 'SPACE TECHNOLOGY ROADS' of India. Hope this helps.

Nice car, enjoyed the test drive. suspension - Among the best in its class; feels tough and rugged. Ground clearance is solid at 200+ mm, u can go anywhere with it , without thinking of scratching your car underneath Comfort - Cabin feels like the City; for me, VX & ZX are the better choices. Feature - Screen size is fine, all basics are there with a camera to assist while driving. Sunroof is on the top trims. Back row is family friendly, not as comfortable as the City but good like an MUV. ADAS - It is camera based and can detect motion from 100+ mtrs. Road presence - Front isn’t very appealing, but the rear looks elegant. Accessories - You won’t need many, and there isn’t much aftermarket fitment available. Gear box - Go for the CVT, 7 speed, smooth and effective. Mileage - On the lower side but acceptable for this category: 10-14 km/ltr.
