Honda\u2019s answer to the booming compact SUV market in India is the all-new Elevate. It is a much-awaited offering from the Japanese brand that currently has no other SUV in its portfolio. The Honda Elevate faces tough competition from established rivals such as the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder and MG Astor. While Honda has a reputation for producing stellar models such as the Honda City, the Elevate needs to prove itself in this highly competitive segment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the rivals, the MG Astor is similar to the Honda Elevate in many ways. Both models utilize a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and offer ADAS tech. The Astor is an underrated product in its crowded segment; while it lacks a bit of SUV-esque styling compared to its rivals, the Astor compensates with a turbo petrol engine and a premium cabin that comes loaded with tech. MG has also competitively priced the Astor, starting at just Rs 10.82 lakh. So, here\u2019s how the MG Astor and the new Honda Elevate stack up against each other on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
