I am Disappointed - New Honda Elevate SUV | AutoYogi
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- So we finally witnessed the global debut of its compact SUV - Honda Elevate - in India today. With this Honda has become one of the last ones to enter the segment, but that's not all. It also misses out on many features that a lot of its rivals offer. Also, it will only get a single 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine that we have seen in the City as well. But sadly, it won't get the sophisticated strong hybrid tech that the City has. Instead, the company will launch its electric version by 2026.
Honda has it's own base of customers, just like the apple customer, it's focus is on refinement, quality and a good engine, since the other vehicles in this segment have come up with facelift, the idea of facelift is only to attract new customers, as people would have forgotten the previous launches.
If you look at Elevate without a comparison and solely from the brand, engine, quality of exterior and interiors, then it's worth going for it. Nobody has been disappointed with a Honda till now, the Honda guys know this.
Honda driving dynamics r also spot on.. handling.. chasis control, steering feedback, masterclass gear box.. & i-vtec need no introduction
@@kill3rbyysight exactly.... super smooth 👍👍
Honda best
Honda is honda❤ just pricing need to be fair
People who drive honda cars are pride owners has all the ingredients
In engine life still no one can beat Honda and Toyota..
Exactly 👍👍
Some people are Brand lover.... I am watching this video on my Sony Experia still working after 5 years also have the Honda Amaze with me... 😊😊😊 Quite Happy with both tha brands.
With this car you constantly pointed out that it doesn’t have that usp which will attract customers, like no Panaromic roof or 360 degree camera or no turbo/ diesel engine, etc.
But for me real USP of any car is-
Engine performance
Reliability
Safety
Build quality
Brand history
And in all these 5 categories Honda excels, they have never let their customers down.
I don’t mind missing out on gimmicky features, all that matters is that I invest my money on a car that i can drive for many years to come.
U r 100% right....i will anyday prefer Honda than crap Indian brands.
You have missed the point completely. Undoubtedly in the category Honda engine is the best though not far ahead with Hyundai NA engine. The point here is that there are no engine options and cut in feature list but will be priced more than the equivalent models from the competition.
I don’t care about the looks bcoz driving dynamics is important . No 360 degree camera, backlit switches, UV glasses , 3rd rear headrest, adjustable seat belt etc.. should have been included if not pano roof, HUD , ambient lighting, air purifiers etc..
Overall there is no USP for this Elevate except for those hard fans of Honda.
@@Liguritio then u r an ignorant fool who knows nothing.... though Hyundai is good too.... but Honda is best.
Better than it's competition ❤🔥🔥
It all depends on the sales numbers. 😂
How is it better ? Apart from the so called safety which is still not gncap tested , what else is there in comparison to the seltos
It is better than Koreans, safe & reliable
Good review. However, I liked the design. Honda will definitely come out with all the disappointments you mentioned in future editions. I am sure, because of its brand value, it will do well in India. (People are tired of seeing Cretas everywhere) They are looking forward to some change. And I think Elevate will fill that gap. At least I am one of them. Have waited for almost a year for some alternative to hit the market. 🙂
They are not even considering strong hybrid powertrain for the Elevate.
The car looks good, will be safe, reliable, last for years, has comfortable and luxurious interiors. This car will appeal to the smart buyers
@@ICN All varients may not b launched together. It seems currently offered varients are for real smart buyers who are budget conscious and usually drive moderately ,(most probably by their own without engaging a driver , say less than 2500 km per month) which does not call for strong hybrid version with high added cost which is justifiable for highly active car users (driving about 3000 km or more per month) who can spend min ₹3-5 lakhs additionally for the hybrid. Also some elites would be looking for electric version now itself. If we talk about "Status feeling" of owners point of view, the present Elevate varients are going to elevate Owners pride and make Creta, Seltos owners feel envy. People who are owning and driving a Nano , Swift, i 20 or even fronx or brezza are surely find many short comings in *Honda Elevate* that's their psychology.
@devanand, I wish I am proven wrong. But unfortunately the strong hybrid is not in the pipeline at all.
@@ICN People who are driving a compact sedan now with 2n number of "short comings" are happy if they are driving hardly 1500 km per month and strong hybrid sedan is not justifiable for them. People enjoy what they can have, there is no point in worrying about what we can't have for now. I am sure Honda Elevate would be a vehicle apt for sophisticated gentlemen.
I think it can sell in good numbers on the basis of it’s looks. It seems like a timeless design which I think is the case with every honda car out there, power is something I feel like the average consumer might not care a great deal about, let’s see how the sales go. Honda really needs a product to sell in good numbers else industry ka competition aur km hojayega eventually.
Ye the front look is masculine enough for the budget
Bekaar looks hai kia looks better

Correct analysis.
I own a City 5th Gen. and only reason to buy it was because it looked different and is more spacious than other options in that price range.
Elevate is like Honda just noted down all that is missing in city but there in other cars, then they assembled all of it together.
u noticed only looks and space of Honda City & calling ur analysis correct 🤦♂️
@@kill3rbyysight no no, what I meant was his analysis is correct
Honda City is best too
Ultimate.. 1.5 ltr ivtech
It's a gem engine.
i-Vtech is True Legend, i-Vtech is unmatchable.
Ground clearance 220mm 😮😊
It is like red wine it gets age well with time.
Most value for money car for middle class.
Ground clearance 220mm wah kya baat hain?
All points are apt, but no one can beat Honda's technology in making buttery smooth engines.
A pur reliable and practical Honda Car, it needs to be priced correctly.
I like your content. Don't you think this engine is better than all other naturally aspirated engine's in this segment. Creta, Seltos 115 hp 144 torque. Hyrider, Vitara 103 hp 137 nm torque. Astor 110 hp 144 torque. Honda 122hp 145 torque. Natasp engines are more responsive to part throttle inputs and couple it with CVT perfect for city driving. Turbo engines are very sensitive driving habits and fuel economy can go for a toss easily.
I agree, it’s still the best NA available in the segment and that’s exactly I said in the video. But they had the best strong Hybrid setup as well, which could have been its USP. When Toyota can sell Hybrids in huge numbers with a rather underwhelming hybrid engine, Honda could have killed them and Grand Vitara. And once you create the buzz around a product, that also helps sell other variants - NA too.
Totally agree bro,👍
@@rakesh3967it is. Most auto journalists are korean bhakts.
Best one SUV... Ivtec unmatchable ... Will buy for sure.. Unsafe Creta and seltos gone..
Sidhi baat no bakwas....!!!
Correct bola
Motor Octane wala Rachit isko bhi bahut badhia bata dega jaise Tata Altroz ko bhi bolo tha....
Atleast this channel is honest, brutal and transparent. Good one Vikas
I have a feeling that although it may not bring anything new to the table, it will do well for Honda. It is getting the fundamentals right and the Indian Customer base thinks Honda as a better brand than Hyundai. If the pricing is right it will do better than the German twins
This channel is hyundai chatukar
Customer base 😂 Those days are gone. Times have changed. We are talking about a company that is on the brink of leaving India if they dont sell this vehicle in large numbers. So forget about customer base its all about the sales. Less features than competition already put a question mark on many people. Also no hybrid engine and diesel engine will pull out the plug further. I dont know where and how this vehicle will do well for honda 😂
@@xarvis6538 There is always a customer base for every product. It's just a fundamental fact. People who like a suv with creature comforts do not consider something like a Thar and people who like to off road a lot consider other mid size suvs like propped up sedans. All companies make mistakes and we all have personal biases for or against a company. However if a product gets most of the things right along with good marketing and customer reviews, it usually translates to good sales. Not everyone wants a cooled seat or a panoramic roof. There are many people who want less but want good built quality, handling and fuel efficiency. Honda city does well with its many shortcomings is precisely for the same reason. Also to note is the fact that Honda's portfolio is now limited, in which case even if the product doesn't do marvelous sales like category creator creta, it can still come third or fourth and be a stable product for Honda.
there's nothing wrong in this car. all basics and some luxury features are also there. you seem to expect and desire much more than us common people. ok, whats more important... a good 5 star built or all glamour and 'break in half' of seltos? decide for your own self. guys, watch reviews but don't blindly follow such reviewers. thanks.
U Said Right Sir.. Some How Front Grill Of This SUV Makes Me Remind Of Bigger Lexus SUV's..But Still Its Nicely Designed..
Honda is arguably the most practical automobile Manufacturer in the world. Be it in two or 4 wheelers.
It is easy to get swayed by opinions from channels focused on selling a narrative. Don’t fall for the narrative.
I’m not saying this channel has a propaganda or any other channel for that matter. In fact this is a sane review. As a consumer anyone expecting something different from Honda would be disappointed with this car. BUT :)
That is where we need to take a few steps back and understand that Honda has never been a brand about exceeding expectations. It is always a brand that meets expectations through practicality.
They have listened to the consumer sentiments and made a car for the Indian urban middle class who have fallen for the narrative of “SUV”. Whatever that means.
In the segment, the Elevate has the highest ground clearance.
People were literally crying about Honda Cars not having enough ground clearance (which is a myth) and that myth has now been shut forever with the Elevate.
They’ve learnt from the success of the City and did the smart thing by keeping a clean dash similar to the City.
Plush upholstery to add.
For those complaining about the sunroof not being Panaromic, please think about how much of star gazing you do and understand astronomy. Because clearly, sunroofs are useless in tropical and sun tropical countries. Again, Honda went with the consumer sentiment and given the sunroof for those who only look at it.
1.5 litre DOHC Ivtec. Show me one car in the segment with a better engine.
If you’ve driven a SOHC or a DOHC Ivtec, you’d acknowledge that the engine is an engineering marvel of refinement and performance.
Honda has never been about gimmicks. They leave that to the Koreans.
Now, the only thing to wait and see is the pricing. If the top end sells for less than 18 lakhs on-road for a MT, then we have a winner.
Honda are late, but this is a car for the enthusiasts. Not for the ones who don’t understand cars.
All reviewers are disappointed because Honda didn't launch it with a strong hybrid. My question is will all these so-called reviewers spend 20 + lakhs buying the Honda Elevate hybrid if launched? These ppl will still buy Hyundai and Kia even if Honda launches Elevate with a hybrid.
I believe Honda developed a quality product with the required features & comfort focusing on safety and reliability. It does not need to sell like Vadapav(Hyundai Creta and Seltos). All it needs is decent sales figures to make sure Honda stays strong-footed in the Indian market. Also, gather good feedback for developing new small and compact SUVs for our market.
Let the reviewers be disappointed! Nothing harm in that. Ppl will appreciate it if it drives well and pocket friendly.
I feel Honda is looking at long term (regaining foothold in Indian market).. Honda knows it's a price sensitive market & it may give a miss to few features & hybrid engine which shoot up the cost of vehicle.. Honda may be looking to ramp up the sales volume at present by keeping the prices lower & may bring additional features in facelift model later
True. only 1 in 100 people buy the turbo variants. Poor mileage and higher cost. enthusiasts only exist on youtube these days
Booked this beast for it’s front elevation and engine and reliability.
On road performance of the engine is more important than anything thats highlighed as missing in this review.
guts to make this opening shot at launch event. this is true journalism
have guts but wrong information.. Sony phones may don't sell as iphone but still has best all over specs and hardware than any other phone exist in market today.. someday look Sony Xperia phone reviews online.. they make phone for enthusiasts.. even Google pixel phones have Sony sensors in their cameras.. if ppl taste has worsened.. it doesn't mean company is doin something wrong
This man is the gem of auto industry
What is the percent of strong hybrid sold of hycross and Vitara?
May be that’s the reason
Majority of Hycross and Hyryder sales are Strong Hybrids.
I think honda tried to cover all basis without unnecessary gimmicks… i think its a good product but still love asean version hrv design more
I think they are going to charge 0.5 to 1 lakh more on City prices. Which is why there is no hybrid variant, as it would go near or beyond 23-24L on road. Which might be essentially DoA.
24 L for elevate it will be flop bro
They should price between 10L on road to 16 or 18 L on road
And 25 L for strong hybrid that's all
Right... Being a existing honda customer I'd expected ki this product will have some really wow features but they missed on some must have features like ventilated seats I am from Jaipur and I know abh jo garmi pd rh h yaha... ventilated seat is must.
I thought they'll introduce factory fitted dashcam but no nothing they haven't
I am ok with the small sunroof but honda you missed this time again.😕
Creta or seltos ko takkar dna tha to isme to mushkil lg rh h.
Matlab engine ke baare mein kuch baat nahi.. safety ke baare mei kuch baat nahi... Sirf sunroof yeh woh sab .. a car should be about engine comfort reliability and these things.. that's why ford Chevy and all these companies leave out because of Indian consumer
Wow FEATURES 😂
@@Bluesboytune welcome to India hahahaha
We know why creta and seltos sell
@Hardik Ghosh Exactly bro. Every self-proclaimed reviewer is talking about not givng ventilated seats, 360 degree cameras, or shitty ambient lighting, whereas nobody talks about the engine. Yeah, it's the same 1.5L gem but it's that very engine that doesn't break. You can still see the number of 3rd gen city on the road. Go to smaller cities and you spot 2nd gen too. Tatti buyers and their priorities.
All natural aspirated engines are same in all the cars only tuning is different . Most importantly honda is not offering flat seat in rear there is bump in middle of rear seat which makes difficult for 3 people to sit. This is major flaw in designing otherwise design is inspired from creta and venue. Wase design will be clear when we actually see the car
0:18 My first Android phone was Sony Ericsson Xperia Live with Walkman WT19i back in 2011😭
Hope Honda doesn't end up same way of Sony.
Honda has a joint venture with Sony called Afeela for making electric vehicles
Sony phones r still best..
Behtareen to the point review. Honda ko Pilot bhi India me launch karni chahiye. Torque vectoring AWD system ki wajah se it is fairly capable. Although Fortuner ke saath competition kafi difficult hoga.
I am a Honda city owner was expecting way more from Honda but all expectation got glass shattered. Still i will chose CITY rather than ELEVATE !!
Your review is different and I am liking it.
Bold and Stylish Suv 👍More over 1.5 ivtec gem engine
Hi vikas
Hyryder or grand vitara
Which one I should go for
Hyryder in case of Strong Hybrid because they have it in the lower trims as well. In case of mild hybrid petrol, the Grand Vitara is better priced.
Honda is actually offering what they want to offer not what customers want. The same happened in case of Sony and Nokia.
You didn't tell for which reason you are disappointed
Hahaha. I have spoken about it in the whole video, I didn’t find anything outstanding in the car. It’s not bad, but it isn’t exceptional as we wish a Honda to be.
@@ICN yes there is nothing fancy but it got all the needful thing ivtec motor on a good mid size suv body, decent looks and may be 4 stars rating
For those who are saying there's no strong hybrid option, how many of us see strong hybrid versions of grand vitara or toyota hyryder. They cost atleast 4-5 lakhs more than a normal petrol version. Most of the Indian buyers are budget buyers.
You correctly stated that Honda city has the genuine hybrid engine which has been introduced a few months ago but have you noticed its recent sales in India ! The sale of it is gradually decreasing inspite of its hybrid engine. So Honda company has taken correct decision not to introduce a hybrid engine in it rather to introduce a electric version within a couple years. A major advantage of Honda Elevate is, it is coming within a pocket friendly budget.
That’s because sedans anyway don’t attract much buyers in India. Look at the sales figures of Hyryder’s hybrid versions, they contribute highest in the total sales. Waiting period for hybrid variants range from 6 months to 12 months. Maruti Suzuki still attracts over 30% bookings for its strong hybrid variants, though they don’t produce them enough and are unable to retail those many (since Toyota produces more hybrids for themselves). In short, there’s huge demand for strong hybrids in the SUV segment. Even the pricier premium MPV Toyota Hycross is in phenomenal demand.
This guy deserves more subscribers.. top class reviews backed with authentic information.. keep going!!
The front look is Honda’s very own suv Pilot inspired,which looks great. It’s definitely going to be the best aging car.
Honda missed the mark, missing lot of things: -
No Front parking sensor
No 360 cam, Front cam
No Magic Seats
No Ambient light
No HUD
No Cooled Glovebox
No Rear Disc Brake
No Electronic Parking Brake
No 3 point seatbelt for Middle row
No Headrest for Middle passenger
No Hybrid, Turbo
No Powered seats
No Ventilated seats
No Panaromic sunroof
No Adaptive guidelines for Rear camera
Great reviews...don't expect from Honda about handrest
Genuine reviews no under table promotion viewers like me hit the like button keep it up ✌️ bro
Well , For an average Indian Car buyer of this segment ,There is nothing on which Honda has missed , Talking about missing things,like, C type port, 360 camera , Panaromic Sunroof, Mixing of Looks , No diesel Engine, No turbo Variant of Petrol etc , .......It doesn't matter to a majority of consumers ,(Panaromic is much hyped , Highly subjective ,if Mass likes it or not ,As it reduces Strength), ....Also, Majority sales come from Petrol , upon that Average Buyer isn't much concerned about the Power by Turbo either!!!,(because Turbo version touches 21 Lakh on road)
Hybrid Version is still Not the 1st choice from Tier 1 to tier 3 cities in India.
This car is perfect with not so Fancy ,Yet Strong and Reliable Car Lovers!!!!
Love to see your content ❤
Rightly said, there is no USP in Elevate more so without strong hybrid.
This is just Honda’s response to FOMO(fear of missing out) and nothing else. With no engine options and any USP , it is anyone’s guess about the seriousness of Honda towards Indian market. The strategy is very clear, use the excess capacity of Honda city assembly line to cushion losses.This could well be the last try for Honda at India and if the sales don’t go well,one could well see an exit from Indian market. Ofcourse Honda has quality and reliability, but does Ford ring any bell?
This suv got usp
1. Bonet will be visible
2. ADAS
3. Comfortable seats
4. Highest ground clearance
5. Reliability
What u r doing is great bhaiya your content is actually very genuine and informative keep it up ,👍
Chahe paneer Bane ya na Bane on lighter note 😊
Honda's usp is reliability, trouble free ownership experience for 10 to 15 years. I have a feeling, this vehicle has the potential to deliver that easily.
We hope they price it well.
Design is evergreen. Not like loaded with flashy, in your face type that dulls in 2-3 years time 😊
Ye side se ignis kyu lag rahi hai... Sorry i know you can't unsee it now
विकास भाऊ तुमचे म्हणणे आगदी योग्य आहे ही खरंच मिक्स आहे समोरून पाहिल्यावर अगदी अमेझ सारखी दिसते.
Yes , its very good ivtech engine with high ground clearance. Honda city is a legend but ground clearance keeps unhappy for many. Now people will surely like to purchase this new stuff.
Honda needs to improve its sales by providing Hybrid engines as those are really good ones made by themselves. This review is very informative. Thank you.
Sadly, the strong hybrid powertrain is not even under consideration.
@@ICNhow many hybrid Citys people are buying? People don't care about hybrids
I always look forward to your and Gagan's reviews. No nonsense stuff.
The X in Faux is silent btw
Oh you foX....you caught that too😂😂
He won't give your comment a heart now
When Honda Elivate will about to start getting attractions, Tata Curvv will hit the market. Indian market is having crazy competition
Notification sbke Ate Hai Par Mera Click Sirf Icn Studio Pe Hi Jata Hai .....
We both agree on the disappointment with regards to hybrid. First time, I was considering Honda for the hybrid but it miserably failed. Nonetheless, it doesn’t matter to Honda.
I am not at all disappointed coz I never expected anything from Honda .. they are now digging there own grave in indian auto industry
360 degree camera , ventilated seat and lityle bit power driven seat are major missing thing. But now it's actually a good, reliable product offered in the market in the compitition of Creat and Seltos because people are bored to see them. Also it will safe rather than them.
Hope it will do good in numbers
I am sure many potential buyers will be wondering if they can slightly modify the front grill design after market, may be reduce the height of the rectangular grill or may be make it look more angular like the HRV grill. Maybe i too would get it done if available. Rest of the car is all fine.
100% agree...not great in the front..rear looks good though. Wish they got the panaromic
@@alvarezgino123 I am beginning to like the front grill after watching a video by Honda cars with white Elevate on the road. It is looking sweet.
It is the car having all necessary amenities, less fancy and useless features. Hope the price would make a difference. I am looking the car like this if proved value for money otherwise upcoming tata nexon will my first car.
Thanks bhaiz jitni mrji videos dekhlo new car ki,pr aapki video dekh ke hi asli smj ayega sb kuch
Considering overall, only price bracket will make it success or flop. keep price low and get high number. If thus, it may be it my first car.
omission of 360camera is ok since its not that big a car (it isnt a MUV like XL6)
sunroof could have been avoided (not required in India)
but.. following should have been present: Ventilated front seats, UV+IR cut glass all around, front sensors (manual), (atleast) shades for all rear glasses (manual), engine options
is this platform 4/5 safety stars rated?
Your Voice is very Catchy & your Presentation Skill 😎😎
Honestly....! They are 5 years too late to launch this model...!! Really who is managing their marketing?? I want to shout at Honda for this... When Maruti is able to sell stupid cars... What is Honda doing having such fabulous range of cars internationally 😢
I really love your channel, because of HONEST Reviews ❤
It looks stunning as Honda is not following others in looks specifically DRLs and Lights and Foglamp but Indians has focus other than Hyundai, Maruti, etc brands , So Welcome Honda in the world of Compact SUV but Hybrid version is the must have or as soon as possible if they are not giving eye catching Pano Sunroof , Ambient Light and Ventilated Seats✌👍❤
The Hybrid version isn’t coming at all.
Most honest reviewer!!❤🙏🏻
The design elements are all straight and upright. I still feel that in spite of so much hype for years together about the next gen SUV from Honda and all, this is no where near to the competing leaders :
Advantages of Creta/Seltos :
Interiors and brand loyalty
Multiple engine options including petrol (both NA & turbo) and diesel
Advantages of Grand Vitara :
Interiors and Maruti trust and reach
Multiple options like Hybrid engine with class leading efficiency
All Grip tech with class leading 4X4 abilities with a good ground clearance of 210mm
I don't know if they will be able to maybe aggressively price at atleast at the launch to attract those Honda loyalists.
Let us wait and watch.
Maruti buyers are now virtually facing black-marketing of cars. outlets/showrooms have created artificial shortage of cars. Maruti dealers insist that if one is prepared to buy Insurance for 55000/- (instead of 20000/-, buy Zero Dep/Extended warranty for 60000/- and buy costly and unwanted accessories, the waiting period can be waived, and car can be delivered in no time otherwise the waiting period may be extended by 5-6 months. DDS Ravi has himself highlighted this issue in this posts. I have also faced this situation. A sting operation on this issue OR interviews with prospective buyers would do a great service to the cause of car buyers.
True. I wonder what folks at Honda thinking!!! Honda City hybrid like SUV would have been a strong competition to EVs. But no. Hmm
@icn studio
Hello Vikas ji, this is my first post in this amazing forum.
I'm a 32 year old salaried employee with a wife and a kid of 3 year old. I'm planning to buy a car, my first car. Will all the things to consider around and so many options available in the market, I'm just stumped and unable to decide anything. Let me say my requirements first.
1) Budget is 10 lacs (on road) with 10% variation on both sides
2) It doesn't matter whether it is sedan, heatchback or compact suv
3) Car should be a safer car, and would be used as family car. Definitely no to a car with 2 or lower ratings.
4) My commute is majorly in the city, hence, an automatic. However, once or twice in a six months I may need to travel on highway (450 kms one side). highway road conditions are good.
5) Mileage is not a major concern for my usage, however, a good mileage is definitely an add on.
6) Since I will be spending considerable time in the car, a good interiors and ride comfort would definitely sway my decision (including good infotainment system)
7) I live in Pune, which has many hills and accordingly many roads with considerable slopes. So, is it required to have hill hold control for an automatic. If so, that would also become part of my requirement.
One other thing, I'm a novice driver, well, pretty much basic.
Cars I have considered, why and why not?
1) Honda Amaze CVT
Why? Honda brand, post sales services, CVT under 10 lacs, smoother and reliable family car (as per reviews), safety ( 4 star GNCAP rating)
Why not? poor infotainment system (relatively), Slightly poor engine response (as per reviews because of CVT), no cruise control.
I am not sure about hill hold control in Honda Amaze
2) Altroz DCA
Why? Good looks, good ingress and egress, safety (obviously), good speakers (as per reviews),
Why not? Unreliable post sales services of tata, unproven DCA transmissio in for Tata.
I am not sure about hill hold control in Altroz DCA
I have only listed those two option as I didn't consider cars with AMT transmission (as they are not true automatic transmission). If any AMT cars are good, I'm open for them as well. Thought about new Baleno also, but, not so sure about marutis build quality.
I have also not considers Nissan Magnite CVT and Renault Kiger CVT as their future in india looks diecy.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Harsh Shah
Hi Harsh, welcome to the community. Thanks for the kind words. Coming to your query, of the two cars you have picked the Amaze CVT makes a lot more sense. It’s reliable, and is pretty spacious for a sun-4 metre sedan. And like you mentioned, it lacks the engine punch. So if majority of your drive is going to be in and around town, it makes perfect sense. On highways, you’ll have to plan you overtakes. If you drive sedately, then it’s a no problem. Hope that clarifies your confusion.
On this launch date, I watched many first look videos but yours was the best and frank.
💯 correct analysis. Very honest review. I own Honda City and was looking for an upgrade but this cars front look disappointed me. And as mentioned no USP as such. Kya kar diya yar Honda 😢
is me NA engine hai kya ye sahi hai ya phir turbo lena sahi rahenga do no me kounsa relaibar hai long turm ke liye,mileg kounsa denga
Honda elevate is best suv in current market, ventilated seats won't bother much as Honda cars have superb AC performance, they have ADAS and parking sensors, cameras on indicators, so 360° Camera won't bother much as well, and sunroof is good, electric seats is not a big issue, the Big pros in Elevate is- Engine and safety and build quality, mileage and price, space, ground clearance, AC and awesome exterior and enterior, luxury feel, big screen etc etc., So guys Honda elevate is a best SUV so far, do not listen these people, it provides each and every required things which should be there in any car.,
Kafi din se follow kar Raha hoon Bhai... Mote ho Gaye ho thode se 😅😁 but reviews like always are just awesome❤❤❤
Brother nice ka aapke baat karne ka andaza bahut hi alag hai ek baat acche se Samjha dete Ho lage raho best of luck future🎉🎉❤
6:36 Rajni choudhary comes outside
Is the rear really that inclined or just looking in the video
Honda makes built to last products .their entry level amaze also good in quality.
6:35 Rajni Chaudhary is reviewing the exterior. BTW, nothing special in Honda Elevate. No seat ventilation, no electric hand brake, uncomfortable for middle passenger on rear seat, no panoramic sunroof, no USB port at rear, no idea about cooled glove box, no rear seat curtain, no air purifier, and the most important is there is no hybrid engine option.
If they gave this with 360° Camera, front and rear dashcam, ventilated seats, radar based ADAS and without electric sunroof then too it would be a good choice for most. Turbo engines they won't introduce now seems like bcz govt focus is more on EV vehicles. Why would they wanna invest on something that can't fetch them revenue for a longer duration. Better they too start giving CNG too as an option for mileage concious
Bhai, kya to transformation hua hai, aapka, seeing you in video after 3 years, last one i watch i.e. honda amaze,
Thoda fit rahna to banta hai, 🎉
Very precisely said!!!
Itna cut copy paste karne se achha hota Wrv as is launch kar dete.
I feel It is a very compelling car when it comes to road presence and subtle looks
But this elevate looks so bad from the front that now neither I'm going to book it nor recommend to anyone....
Rear toh anyway Wrv ka hi copy hai and Squared wheel arches are looking so bad that....
Sad to see Honda squandering away its prospects by just blindly following Maruti and Toyota design cues...
Still missing 360 camera, ventilated seats, panoramic roof, rear window sunshade, a turbocharged engine and a hybrid engine like competition
black colour elevate and looks kills all rivalry in their segment🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wish they had turbo or hybrid options. At least hybrid as their hybrid engines are also good
Maruti dealers are forcing the car buyers to pay for undesirable expenses. The Dealers of Maruti, forcing the car buyers to buy Extended warranty, costly insurance (55000/- instead of 20000/-) and accessories can not exist without the knowledge of Maruti Suzuki administration. Now the solution - (A) After booking the car, mail your complaint to the Maruti chairman, every second day, asking him to communicate the expected date of delivery. (B) Inform Insurance regulatory body that despite the fact that a person can opt for insurance as per his choice, Maruti show room insists to buy the costliest insurance. (C) Maruti does not mention on their price list that Extended Warranty is optional and everybody is free to buy insurance from any company. (D) Request the Insurance Regulator to cancel the Insurance license of Maruti Suzuki for their malpractices. (E) Write to Industries Minister/Secretary to order an enquiry against Maruti Udyog and suspend their car making license till Maruti Udyog rectifies their malpractices. (F) Every show room should be under mandate that the optional nature of Maruti Extended Warranty and Insurance should be boldly mentioned on price list and at the entrance of the show room. (G) Online facility of checking the allotment of cars against booking should be mandatory and be under the control of the industries ministry. (G) Go for sting operation and post it on every channel. ....... I understand that my post will be brought in the knowledge of Sri Shashank Shrivastav, the dynamic Executive Director of Maruti Udyog, and he would do everything in his control to restore the faith of the buyers in Maruti. If thigs do not improve fast, Nexon and Altroz will become the first choice of the buyers. Maruti, already ages behind in Electrical Vehicles is doing everything to tarnish their well-built image, courtesy, their mean deal ship. Maruti, act fast lest you face the fate of Daewoo, Ford etc.
Overall seems like an Ok car. No WOW factor. No special USP. Aisa lag rha hai sab India mein SUV SUV chilla rhe hain toh lets make an SUV. Why didn't they opt for HRV design which looks so stylish.? Looks like an half hearted attempt by Honda.
In my opinion it has a really subtle design and it's gonna look as fresh in the future too because of it's simplicity not like kia or hyundai which just keeps updating their cartoonish design language. It has a bold road presence as this is what indian buyers want. A ground clearance of 220 mm which nobody is talking about is really impressive. Also honda is known for it's safety and good engine. So, please stop treating elevate like this. For the lower and mid variants if priced good it's going to make a good choice for the middle class family who want a well powered engine a good ground clearance, a bold stance, and a simple and minimal design language.
Also to mention I can say, Honda has done a really good job to design this car according to the Indian customer requirements.

Awesome intro and example ! Says it all... U didn't exacerate things...
Dekhiye mere Ghar me do Honda hai.. Honda BRV jo ki bahut kam boli thi lekin bahut hi practical gaadi hai.. engine badiya ek dum makkan.. build bhi accha hai. Safety bhi shayad us time 3 ya 4 star thi.. baaki aap camera aur duniya bhar ke features Miss kar sakte hai..mujhe fark nai pada.. mere liye gaadi acchi chalni chaiye with decent mileage and reliability and safety. Honda me ye sab hai. Dusari gaadi Honda amaze hai. Vo bhi same feel hai. Toere jaise log ke ye gadi le lenge.. agar SUV chaiye to.. baaki har ek pasand alag hoti hai.. lagbhag har gaadi buyers mil jayte hai.. Kuch bikti hai kuch jyada.. my two cents thanks
Perfectly said...No USP for buyers to go towards this..unless they price this aggressively
