Авто/Мото
I got Elevate last month and here is my my view on the same.
1. Interiors won’t feel very plush but it’s very comfortable and easy on eyes. Hence pricing is much competitive.
2. Moonroof is just wide enough. I strongly believe Panasonic sunroof is just a show as it compromises the integrity of the car from roof side.
3. Elevate is good for people upto height of 6 feet. I am 5’11 so it’s just alright. Bonet view is superb and is notch above all the cars in this segment.
4. Engine options are lacking however Honda Engines are much reliable than all the engines in competition.
5. As rightly pointed while driving, superb control and ride quality is very good.
6. Yes 3 people in back is bit cramped however it’s good for family (me, wife, dad, mumma, and 4 year old kid)
7. Engine is noisy but what’s worth its take off after RPM of 3. It’s just a 🚀.
I think price wise it’s a decent purchase and infact if driven nicely in cities it will give average of 12 13 KMPL. Will share the update after first service of the car.
Iam 6ft1 , so is it a problem?
elevate is wannabe from honda dont take it wrong way i also have honda but this car is not up to mark
Can you please let me know which Variant have you opted for and the On road price? Is it a CVT or manual?
Honda Elevate is Thalaiva (Boss) with no nonsense Car.. Road presence is Killer with Cadillac front grill & Muscular boxy classy look ..Very cleaver job done by Honda.
Elevate surely a no nonsense car and VFM in this segment, drive quality and comfort is top notch. Impressed with Honda's proposition.
Hyundai Creta: The undisputed king of the market.
Kia Seltos: A luxurious avatar of the Hyundai.
Grand Vitara: The VFM pick of the lot. Just look at the package.
VW Taigun: For the enthusiasts in the market who want pure power.
Honda Elevate: The new kid on the block with Honda City reliability.
What a perfect shootout this is! Thank you so much Autocar India. ❤
great information thank you so much you provided this I'm absolutely appreciate it 😊🩵💖
Also Honda Elevate is cheaper
Grand khatara is vfm ? It only has higher fuel efficiency, not much else.
Creta is king of sheep market
29:55 Fail to understand the obsession around panaromic sunroof in our country. It’s not practical, less safer and heats up the cabin faster. Why would you not mention these points?
A car needed with Honda's power and bootspace, Maruti's mileage, Creta's features, VW safety, and Seltos interiors 😊
Elevate Ground Clearance to bhool hi gye
Did someone notice that elivate's passenger side has door colour mismatch😳
I think Honda elevate V CVT @ under 15 lakh on road is the best option for family
I really like the Honda Elevate. It is a no nonsense car.
Was waiting for this one. Personally, I would buy a Honda Elevate because it is what my brain would choose as the most sensible of the lot, even though Taigun stole my heart ❤️
Also, Nikhil turned out to be quite the specimen for measuring the boot space 😂😂😂
Just get a test drive of both the cars and I bet your heart will win your mind.
Nice!
Is there a similar comparison for Sub-4m SUVs like Venue, Nexon, Breeza, Kiger, Magnite being planned?
Hey guys, great video loved the spec-to-spec analysis but just wanted to ask why didn't you wait for the new Creta to launch in the market and then make the review? Perhaps it could have changed the outcome.
The mega comparison every auto enthusiast has been waiting for.. And brought to us by none other than Autocar; as always...🙌🏼
😮
An “auto enthusiast” waiting for a comparison of crossovers (read: sUVs) isn’t really an auto enthusiast now, is he?
Excellent comparison, very detailed, how narrow is the powerband on the Taigun?
Elevate is a no nonsense car..such a balanced product. 👍
It's competition is bolero classic
Seltos is a frustrationfree car. A more balanced product.
elevate : glorified 4 seater.
no headrest for 5th passenger. primitive lap belt for 5th passenger. rear AC vent intrudes into 5th passenger.
honda had so much time to make things right but they were lazy.
Some where Autocar has to think about build quality and safety ratings of the car in process of deciding who is better. I think Autocar has no need to carried way with just feel good factors.
25:48 is dedicated to safety.
@@NikhilOnCars They talked about it but did not give any extra weightage for recommendation
Nice review .Why was mg astor not included in test?
Excellent Review Team. One of the most wanted for people get confused as which one to buy. Hats off.
I see more emphasis is more on feel good factors like sun roof than safety ratings, ADAS, reliability, long term maitainance, handling and high speed stability factors. These are key things that a review should emphasise so that new buyers can make an informed choice.
Feel good things are something a potential buys can experience in showrooms. Howevers reviews and comparisons like this video should highlight the other factors
Elevate sales really disrupted kushaq and Taigun sales , i was not expecting that . Already in 3rd spot on sales . Its surprising because it is less feature packed and only 1 engine option 😢.
😂 power of trust and reliability 🎉🎉 Honda Rocks ❤
Just wait as Honda might launch the new indonesian wrv which is based on amaze platform... That's car looks so good for its segment and interior of that wrv is same as Indian amaze too...
The engine itself is a masterpiece
Saw elevate today in Mumbai , it looks far better than what we see in the reviews.
Great comparison!!!
I just bought elevate cvt and am quite happy with it. The reason I didn't go for a much more powerful suv is because I have 700 dsl and 530d.
Is there good enough room for 3 people behind? I mean i have i20 at present. Do elevate has atleast i20 for 3 people ?
dude just flexed on the rest of us good for you bro👍
dude its much better than creta n seltos
I have Honda elevate zx mt I m fully happy n satisfied the engine which is best in class n good mileage to
Can anyone pls advise, by when the new Creta facelift will be launched in India & any idea on the price of its base model ? Is it really worth waiting for its launch rather buying the current one ?
Engine, build quality and driving experience means VW, features means Seltos/Creta, value for money means Honda, mileage and may be low cost maintenance means Maruti.
Honda - value for money ,build quality and engine , driving experience ❤
Superb Comparison.Elevate has the potential to rule the segment.Come on Honda,kindly plonk your superb diesel engine under its hood along with an automatic and load it with more features. It will set the sales chart on fire.May be Honda can take a leaf out of the South Korean twins book.
Not until people and auto journalists focus on useless features like panaromic sunroofs
Nah, diesels making a comeback is not happening in the BS7 age.
@@callingbell-ix5se💯 in long rides majority don't even use infotainment system and 76% of Indians below 20L buys base and 2nd base variant of cars...
This is the reason skoda and volkswagen starts giving alloy wheels, infotainment system etc from second variant itself..
Honda was right to launch elevate at it is... Yes, it needs more engine option but features wise, they are perfect...
If Honda wants to win the competition, it should include the 1.5L turbo with 160hp.
Out of all cars which have the best base model? VFM?
A review or a comparo is always incomplete without Autocar India, such is their finesse ❤
Autocar India's comment section is incomplete without ducatimultistrada 🙏
Elevate is a better option in this segments.
Pls do such mega comparisons for compact suvs like punch, exter, magnite, kiger etc
I have Grand Vitara CNG - City Milege - 28 , Highway Milege - 35-37 with smooth driving 🙌🧘♂️🧠
Needed this ❤
Loved the side by side comparison and the charts. Will save some trips to the dealership. Well done. Thank you!
Please confirm Elevate is not the roomiest , I think it is and certainly better than Seltos and Creta which you claim .
Clearly Elevate is a better option out of all these cars. However, lack of engine options is a big miss by honda.
Lack of engine choice but do remember it cost 5 lakh less than competitors
I also came to the same conclusion after seeing this.
Honda's entry level engine is definitely better than Hyundai & Kia. If you can spend more then get the turbo motor from Hyundai or Kia.
Great review...thanks from South Africa
Surely, With respect to the price, Honda Elevate hits the spot with being more practical, more spacious and most importantly NA engine at the core.
NA engines are underrated. People will understand when these newer turbos cross the 1 lakh KM mark 😂
Seltos IVT is NA my friend.
Can make video of comparing the mid size sedans škoda slavia, volkswagen virtus, honda city, hyundai verna, Maruti Suzuki ciaz
Saw Red VW Taigun one day.. its color and finishing looked so good! i was staring it for some time🤩😘
why you guys are not using topend models to compare try to use top end of each models and compare it with each other. currently in the feature list not shown the available features in the top end versions of each of the cars
Elevate for reliability and seltos for features🔥
Seltos is as reliable. What issues did you notice?? I booked Seltos IVT.
Hello Brothers ✌️, love from North- East Keep up the good work.
Hope tata curve will be a proper 5 seater with 5 star rating. Elevate dissapoints with rear seat that only suits for 2. Does anybody knows when curve will launch?
Wish elevate got Hybrid option.
I wsih they bring back disel for Elevate , it will be priced probably 2 laks more but disel is what honda needs
Is anyone of these in rwd or awd options in India???
The grand vitara looks old school, just like old american suvs from the side
Honda Elevate is the best all rounder out of all the options currently available
As a customer its a win win situation for us.. There are so many rival cars in this category and all are fantastic products in their own way.. For different requirement, there is something available there. Kushaq and astor are also there.. Curvv will be launched in few months. Don't hate any product guys.. Every product has its own USP, if not then the segment will be killed just by creta and GV. Ultimately we are winners due to luxury of 6-8 multiple products. 🔥🔥🔥
Thankyou very much for this comparison. Was going to book a mid size SUV this Diwali. Your video cleared my confusion. ❤
How much are safe?
super great comparison of those suvs but there are super fantastic 😊😍🩵
Why No Astor ? It’s the most well rounded package of the lot.
Joke of the decade
Elevate is the best over here easily, most value for money and no nonsense
All n all the interiors of Elevates looks most eye soothing n simple.
Bring comparison between tata harrier, xuv700, hector..
Same as this one, means not the top model but the middle spec variants
Im using GRAND VITARA alpha automatic smart hybrid variant. What AUTO CAR reviewr said in this review is absolutely right. I have done 3500kms. It is exactly the same opinion i have about the car. I felt the car to be little slow apart from that the car feels smooth and refined when you are not driving it in a hurry. It is a proper family car for a matured driver who doesn't wanna drive like a rally driver. Chassis of grand vitara is highly capable of having a much powerful engine but maruti prefers mileage as a selling point to indian customers. In city i get 14 and on highway easily 20.5 and above. The gearbox and engine is so tuned from mileage. Automatic grand vitara is very smooth and relaxing to drive.
Don't you think mileage is too low....
How's the suspension on bad roads? Are they right about that as well
Yes but its painfully slow.
Smile on their face when driving Taigun😊.
Smile on everyone's face when they see the Seltos.
After a long time, Autocar has nailed the comparison test! Although I wanted the chauffeur-driven perspective from the rearseat
Elevate is the best of all, a proud owner🤪
guys mg astor?
I went to buy kushaq and brought slavia 1.5 mannual and loving it
Superb
Why not the Taigun 1.5?
Not sure how the elevated highway numbers are accurate… I recently bought one and on highways I am easily about to extract around 16-19 deepens medium my on how I drive… I didn’t see 13 at all
why is nexon not in here?
So cool to choose variants priced at par. Best comparison review 👍
I will either go for Elevate or Maruti Grand Vitara
Why you picked VW Taigun 1.0 instead of 1.5?
My favourite video is here ❤
I have picked Taigun
What about a Harrier? Seems almost the same price.
What about Toyota Hyryder and the citroen c3 aircross ?
Hyrider is the grand vitara. They are the same. C3 aircross really can't compete with these cars due to lack of tech and features
Eagerly awaiting the latest Compact SUV Comparison with updated Sonet... Please upload soon!
How would these compare with the hector 1.5 petrol?
Good review but not sure why Astor is missed
elevate is the duster but 10 years later.
I would still call Duster the king of segment, especially above the Korean feature boxes.
Nice review team
Will go for elevate high end don't need ventilated seats and panaromic sunroof
You get ventilated seats as well
You will get a manual driver seat bro. Honda should have given a power seat.
KIA Seltos Diesel manual is the perfect choice among all these
Where are the SUVs in the video by the way ?????🤔 SAFARI, SCORPIO, XUV700/500????
Seltos & Elevate 👑
Good video
I have one doubt everycar choose is top of the line then why seltos htx ,it's not topline model compare with gt line or x line seltos.
Nice comparison at right time during Diwali season... I don't understand one thing, why does almost every reviewer say that, "ALL IMPORTANT SUNROOF" it's not all important, it's not required also...
@autocar India- if you have to choose between shletos and creata , in terms of everything what would you choose ????
Bolero Neo, Xuv 300 ??
The elevate won in cvt with taigun and other cars is suprising to me cause the manual of this is just so powerful compared to the cvt one ❤❤ wow
Without even watching this review Honda is my choice...I love this car
Would be curious to see the MG Hector in this same video
I never imagined elevate will be the most vfm automatic of the lot
Which is a better driver's car - GV NA mild hyb manual or Seltos 1.5 NA manual ?
Citroen C3 aircross missing why?
Which engine gives out lesser pollution ?? in petrol.
Maruti as it gives the lowest power out of its engine and also has the highest mileage.
So pollution per km is the lowest in the maruti.
Nexon??
Elevate
Would have been great
If you would have spoken about the quality of switches, door panels and most importantly the lack of under thigh support in both rows
The interiors - those chunky seats look a tad below it's class
High NVH levels
Spoke about heat / sunny days twice but couldn't mention the ventilated seats in🤔 VW
Honda could plonk in the 1.5t from civic with 180hp and Seltos with 1.6t with 180hp and take the segments to a whole new level
Thanks 👍
Who is the photographer of the the thumbnail???
Pehli baar kisi channel ne exact same segment cars ko compare kiya…….👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻……
