The Honda Elevate facelift is the first big update to Honda’s midsize SUV since 2023, and it launched in India on 6 October 2026. It keeps the familiar 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine with a manual or CVT automatic, and adds fresh styling, a 360-degree camera and ventilated front and rear seats. Honda Sensing ADAS carries over on the higher trims, and prices start at about Rs 11.80 lakh and run to around Rs 18.40 lakh (ex-showroom).
The photos below take you around the Honda Elevate facelift inside and out, so you can see what the update changes. A well-kept used Honda Elevate on Spinny costs a good deal less than a new one.
