- Hello Folks
Welcome to my youtube channel.
In this video we will be comparing Grand Vitara with Elevate.
So come on, lets find out which car will be better for you
Very well detailed review... No reviewer's mentioned about the new changes in honda engine..
As per you which is good in base variant of Grand vitara Vs new creta... i have booked grand vitara but i am little confused... as interior space is better in creta eventhough GV is bigger in size.. Some how i liked GV engine... compared to creta NA engine...
But like the interior and comfort in Creta..its new build is better compared to old model.. Having 6 airbags in base variant.
Gv is having push button, auto AC, keyless entry, 17 inch tyre... etc..
Need your suggestion...
Hi jeneesh, thanks a lot for your support. Comments like this fuel small RUclips channels like me to keep making videos which provide valuable info to our viewers.
Coming to your question. This entirely depends on your liking and your use case.
Case 1 -
(a) if you travel a lot and you tend to put kilometres on your vehicle, and if you mostly travel alone or you have a small family( 2-3 members), then you can go for grand vitara, as it can carry a small family comfortably, and as you would drive the car a lot, gv would be very very pocket friendly due to good average and a very reliable engine(duel injector duel vvti)
(b) If you value feel good features like push button start stop, auto climate control, projector lamps, ( as you mentioned) then you can pick gv.
Case 2 -
If you have a big family of 4-5 members, and need a car which has more space, and if your running is low then you can pick creta, and you correctly mentioned that creta's interior looks and feels a bit better than gv. Creta also has the best back seats in its segment, it gives comfort of a sedan, creta is very roomy/spacious, Also fit and finish and overall plastic quality is also slightly better in creta, and you might have to visit maruti service centres to get some rattling issues fixed if you go for grand vitara.
In terms of ride and handling both the cars are good with grand vitara having a SLIGHT edge on high speed manners interms of both steering, straight line stability etc.
Both the cars have all 4 disk brakes.
Also if you wish to convert your car from base to top model then you will spend less in gv than creta (as creta has 16 inch wheels hence you will need to change tyres as well to fit 17inch alloys) and even then you would not be able to get some features (eg push button key less entry)
Thanks a ton for the reply..its very clear now..
@@RedlineT_v , Wow.... what a comprehensive answer 👋🏼
@@cksajeevkumar thanks a lot sir for your support. Also i just wanted to ask, exactly how much Avg. does your Gv give in City and on Highway?
@@RedlineT_v , I ride mostly in bumper to bumper traffic, GV usually gives me 13 to 14 kmpl. Whenever I enter a good Highway, it reaches 17 to 18.
Your opinion if you have already tried Curvv, which I already booked, but still considering change. Elevate VX CVT(petrol) or Curvv Pure plus DCA(diesel) or GV zeta CVT ? All costs are similar. Considering practicality, drivability, fuel efficiency and long term usage.
Hi there, in my opinion you can chooze between between the grand vitara torque converter ( GV doesn't have a CVT) and Tata curvv DCA diesel. Elevate has very less fuel efficiency and hence will not suit you according to your requirements.
If you drive your car a lot ( 2000 kms or + in a month ) and use the car a lot on highway, then you can go for the Curvv diesel, and if not then you can pick the grand vitara.
In terms of reliability and long lasting factor, the grand vitara will definitely trump the Curvv as its a well known fact that Tata has a lot of electrical related issues and you can also see reviews from different media channels that tata was not able to get the wheel alignments correct for the media test drive vehicles. So therefore overall quality of the car is a hit or miss. If you go for tata curvv, then make sure you do a in depth PDI of the vehicle, give atleasr 1 hr for this.
In terms of power delivery tata curvv diesel would give you much better torque feel at lower rpms than grand vitara.
In terms of overall space and comfort, in my opinion grand vitara has an edge over the curvv.
In terms of refinement and NVH, GV is way ahead of the curvv.
If we talk about the steering feedback and ride quality, both cars offer good steering feel and ride quality, but in terms of handling, in my opinion GV is better.
Just try both the cars side by side keeping in mind your need and usage.
Hope this helps you
Happy Motoring!!

@@RedlineT_v thank you for such detailed reply, it helps. However I have already rejected GV due to built quality concerns. Took test drive of Tata Curvv diesel manual which is really good, DCA not available for test drive. Also took test drive of elevate cvt. Found elevate very comfortable to drive and very spacious too. So will choose between these two. GV felt little sluggish among all of them
@@Seahorse84 that's great brother, congratulations in advance for your new car purchase.
please suggest between Honda city/Verna Non turbo/Slavia 1.0 /Virtus 1.0 Manual,70% city 30% highway usage, monthly running 1000KM looking for reliable car for long term with low maintenance and good fuel efficient
Hi there, in my opinion, if you want a no nonsense car , then you should either shortlist between verna or the honda city. Both cars are all rounders and provide good comfort, but the verna has better interiors, excellent cabin insulation, ride and comfort. Honda city on the other hand has better steering feedback. If we talk about Low maintenance, then i think verna might be better as honda parts and service is very expensive (i own a 4th gen honda city so i have 1st hand experience of this),you can also ask the sales rep to give the list of part and prices (eg
Price of airbags, fenders, painting chargers per panel, price of headlights etc)and the service cost for each of the cars which would make your decision more accurate.
Hope this helps.
Confused with GV, Elevate & 3XO.
We are family of 4 person travel regularly.
90% city use.
Kindky suggest
Hi there, in my opinion if you should shortlist between Gv and Elevate. 3xo is belongs to a lower segment hence is inferior to Gv and Elevate in every aspect (Except features), and as you said that you mostly travel with your family of 4, therefore 3x0 will feel a bit cramped in space when compared to Gv and Elevate.
Elevate offers a very powerful engine, excellent steering feedback and cornering ability and a bigger boot than Gv.
Gv on the other hand offers excellent fuel economy ( as elevate gives only 9-10 Kmpl in city traffic), good cabin insulation and NVH, best in segment driver seats and better ride quality and straight line stability.
Also if you are planning to buy base variants of the cars, then in my opinion you should go for Gv, without any second thoughts, as it is the most value for money in the segment.
In terms of build quality both Honda elevate and Gv are equally good.
Hope this helps, also if you further have any specific doubt or query please do let me know.
Happy Motoring!!
Sir, how about fuel injection system for GV smart hybrid and ELEVATE?
Hi Sundeep, i believe both cars use port injection systems as against the GDI system used in cars like taigun and creta/seltos turbo.
Completely spot-on with the driver and co-passenger driving comfort.
The seat "looks great" in Elevate, but pathetic seat comfort for anyone above 5.9" height.
Thanks for the honest review while many reviewers glossed over it.
Hi, thanks a lot for your comment and support!!
Sir no doubt Honda engine is powerful than vitara,but company hasn't given cruise control in 2 nd or 3 rd segments.When Honda has given cruise control in Amaze car 1.2 engine.why not in Elevate.
Hi Sir, thanks for sharing your valuable point of view. I totally agree with you that Honda has lost there edge in the indian market. As you said, not giving cruise control in the 2nd top model even with the automatic is really a big problem since they are giving the same feature in the City and Amaze. Also the NVH levels and cabin insulation of the elevate seems to be not up to the mark, on top of that the service and spare parts are quite expensive ( I own a 4th gen Honda city). I think all these factors are the reasons for low sales of elevate.
very good information out of all mid size SUV which is better ,kushaak,creta,seltose, hyrider
Thanks a lot for the comment and support. Coming to your question, it entirely depends on your liking and use case.
1. If you love driving and find joy in it, then kushaq is the car for you. In the initial batches, there were some quality control issues, but most of them have been fixed now. The seat comfort of the front seats is good and the plastic quality is 1 of the best in the segment (after Seltos) even though they have downgraded from vento and polo.
2. If you have a family of 4 - 5 people and most of the time you travel with them in the car and you plan to drive the car for less kilometres, then creta/seltos would be better for you as in terms of rear seat comfort and overall space( be it knee room, head room or boot space) is the best in the segment and it really feels that you are sitting in a sedan. Also on low speeds the ride is very cushy in creta. But if we talk about high speed manners they need a little bit more improvement ( although it's better than previous generation).
3. If you mostly travel alone and if you are planning to put a lot of kilometres on the car. Then hyryder is the car for you. The front 2 seats are very supportive and comfortable and you can easily drive 500 kms in a single stretch. Also the fuel efficiency is phenomenal and the engines are very very reliable. Also the ride and handling is one of the best in segment, steering feedback is one of the best ( after kushaq and elevate).
I hope this helps in your buying decision
If you have any specific requirements from the car do let me know, I can further assist you on this.

Pl let me know tips to get more mileage in GV strong hybrid.
Hi radhakrishnapillai, from my experince you can follow the below steps to improve mileage:
- Try to press throttle lightly and increase speed gradually as you have a strong hybrid car which can initially run on ev mode, but if you press the accelerator with a heavy foot, the engine would kick in.
- Anticipate traffic by setting your vision a bit far and lift your foot off the pedal after anticipating, for eg. try to see red lights from far away, and lift your foot accordingly and slightly start pressing the brake, the more you brake the more brake regen will happen, charging your ev battery which would give you more range hence improving the fuel efficiency.
- when travelling on a highway, try to maintain a speed which helps you overtake cars in a flow. what usually happens is, people drive the car at suppose 110 kmph, but the majority traffic which you are overtaking is mostly travelling at 95, so there are so many situations where you will have to brake first, reduce your speed and look for a opening and then overtake, but if you are travelling at a speed of 100-105, you will have more time judge the gaps and see for an opening before reaching the overtaking point, which will help you to maintain a steady speed and this improves average a lot.
Hope this helps.
Appreciate the depth of the review but I am confused on one aspect, it is the suspension. Multiple reviews praise elevate on suspension and state its the best in the segment.
Hi Ismail, thanks for your comment and support.
See I own a 4th gen Honda City and have also previously owned jazz and amaze as well. The basic inherent quality of Honda cars is that their suspension is on a stiff side. Elevate has a good suspension setup when compared to other Honda cars, but still if you compare it with other segment cars, you find the suspension to be a little noisy and stiff. If you have finalized the elevate, then to make the suspension a little soft, you can change the tyre size. The car comes with 215 55 r17,, so you can change the tyre size to 215 60 r17. This increases the side wall of the tyre which will improve the ride quality. But also mind that this will result in SLIGHTLY more body roll. In terms of handling, the elevate only comes second to vw and skoda cars and has a very good steering feedback.
I hope this helps
Happy Motoring!!
had test drived both for around 25km and for manual transmission would choose GV any day, rest you all can test drive both to know am confident you wont buy elevate manual unless you are a honda fan.
Hi there, thanks for your drive impressions of both the cars, as you mentioned, people are definitely preferring GV over elevate as the sales figures for elevate has dropped significantly.
I took test drive of both. Suspension of GV is way better than ELEVATE. That's a major factor for me. Ride quality above anything
Hi there, you are absolutely right, Grand vitara has much better ride quality than elevate, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I m bit confuse between Mahindra 3xo ax5L vs elevate Vx variant . I kw both are of different category but Mahindra is offering good features in less price . Space and engine quality must be better in elevate bcz of Honda trust from so many years. I am not liking back look of Mahindra bcz of large use of black cladding in rear bumper. What’s your point
Hi there,
Among the 2 cars you have shortlisted, i believe you should just close your eyes and go for Honda elevate. The reasons are as follows :-
1. Interiors space is much more in Honda elevate, be it knee room head room or overall width of the cabin. As you said it's 1 segment above and this definitely shows in the interior space. After Hyundai creta, elevate is the most spacious car in it's segment.
2. Engine- Honda provides a 4 cylinder engine which though is a bit noisy but still is much more smooth and refined when compared with Mahindra. Also in terms of, reliability of engine, Honda is known for its reliable petrol engine. Also now, Honda provides a DOHC engine with hydraulic lifters, so there is no need to do valve clearance adjustments (unlike previous Honda City engines).
3. Boot space- Honda elevate has one of the best boot space in its segment, so Mahindra 3xo is not even close in terms of boot space as well.
4. Ride & Handling - both the cars provide very good driving dynamics, but Honda's steering feel is more accurate, and in slow speeds Honda suspension feels plush when compared to 3x0. Also elevate has more ground clearance and you will feel that you are sitting higher in elevate when compared to 3x0
5. Features- yes 3x0 provides more features but in my opinion Honda's vx trim has adequate features (which can actually be used in real world usage and are not gimmicks). Also the features provided by Honda will work without any faults , where as features in 3x0 might glitch or might stop working and you will have to go to service centres to get it fixed.
I hope this helps in you buying decision.
Happy Motoring!!!!
Yeah exactly after long research I also decided buy a honda elivate among Nexon,XUV 3XO, sonnet,brezza,venue,kushak,taigun
@@madanmohan3541 Hi there, thanks for sharing your valuable insight and congratulations on your new purchase
@@madanmohan3541 which model ??
@@satindersingh7776
Bro next week buying between kushak base automatic transmission and elivate base automatic transmission under 16.5 Lakh
Honda Elevate is a much better looking car but the grill should have been sleeker...2025 Elevate should have it!
Hi there, thank you for your comment. We appreciate your perspective and understand your viewpoint
Happy Motoring!!
Grand vitara NVH level is not so good....and the mileage for NA variants with tc gear is not so good...and there is some rattling issue.....
Hi there, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts on the video.
i have made a separate video on the grand vitara torque converter where I have shown the average figures and I have also shown the NVH levels by using a decibel meter, please refer to this video.

Hi Karan, those are very impressive mileage figures you're getting from the car. The GV is definitely a mileage machine.
Thanks for sharing your experience-happy motoring!
the name HONDA itself is enough , Just take it .
Bit biased and incorrect review
Thanks for letting us know your perspective, can you please elaborate as to why do you find this review a bit biased and incorrect??
This is perfect, no biased keep it up
Thanks a lot for the comment. Happy motoring!!
Bhai mere elevate toh cvt mai 8-9 ki milege😅
True bhai, elevate ki average kafi Kam hai, in fact pure competition mese sabse kam average (after MG Astor) elevate ki hi hai.
360 dono me ni h bro...
Hi Ravi, grand vitara me 360 camera hai, but elevate me nhi hai... Elevate me sirf left side lane watch camera hai.
Can't we install after market 360 camera ?
Warranty will avoid after that
@@akshatbhatt5384 "Hi Akshat, As Ravi correctly mentioned, the warranty will be void if you install a 360 camera from outside. Honda, Tata, and Mahindra warranties are a bit notorious in this regard. However, Toyota still provides a warranty even if you have aftermarket accessories installed.
You can ask the sales team about this, and if they say the warranty will not be impacted, then remember to get this in writing from them, as many sales teams will try anything to make a sale
@@RedlineT_v Ok so does the company provide it as an accessory?
Too much biased towards GV, Honda is more better than the other rivals (Safety, Space, Comfort, Reliability, Ground Clearance, Long Ride, Head & Leg room)
GV is just for fuel efficiency as its overall built quality is less than Elevate)
Hi sir, I am not at all biased towards GV, in the video i have mentioned that in terms of space elevate is better, i have also mentioned that elevate feels much more peppy to drive as it has more power. I myself own a 4th gen Honda City which I bought in 2018 and before that i owned a Honda jazz as well. I really want Honda to beat the competition but as of now, elevate seems to be a half hearted attempt, and the sales numbers also show the true picture. Even other reviewers are saying similar things about elevate.
@@RedlineT_vVery true I’m owning a Honda elevate but here in India there are less people who actually wants Quality ,However most Indians prefer Fuel efficiency so Gv is only for that crowd ,but those who want better quality and smooth engines prefer Honda elevate.
