Honda is opening nationwide bookings for its facelifted Elevate SUV in India with a ₹21,000 deposit ahead of the October 6, 2026 launch, according to Newsbricks. India will be the first market to receive this updated version, which features a bolder front grille, segmented LED lights, and a more premium interior with ambient lighting and white upholstery.
Honda has promised additional customer-requested features but hasn't revealed the complete equipment list or final pricing yet, IndiaNewsNetwork reports. The facelifted Elevate is expected to keep its current 1.5-litre petrol engine and transmission choices while bringing modest styling and comfort upgrades over the outgoing model.
Exterior Gets Bolder, More Modern Look
The facelifted Elevate ditches its softer styling for a more aggressive front end. MotorBeam reports the teaser reveals a revised grille and segmented lighting setup that gives the SUV a premium feel. At the rear, a connected LED taillight design is expected to replace the current dummy unit, according to IndiaCarNews.
Interior Upgraded With Ambient Lighting
Inside, Honda is bringing a more upscale cabin experience. White upholstery and ambient lighting are confirmed by Rushlane, signaling a shift toward a classier feel. The company has teased that more comfort and convenience features are coming, though exact details remain under wraps.
Engine and Powertrain Staying Put for Now
The facelifted Elevate is expected to retain its 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, producing 121 bhp and 145 Nm of torque, IndiaCarNews states. Both the six-speed manual and CVT options should carry over unchanged. Honda has not confirmed whether any powertrain tweaks are planned.
Premium Features May Arrive Through Accessories
Reports suggest Honda could add a 360-degree camera and ventilated front seats—features currently sold as accessories. Neither Honda nor the reports confirm if these will be standard or optional on the new model. The outgoing Elevate ranges from ₹11.81 lakh to ₹16.36 lakh ex-showroom, so a modest price bump is expected for the facelift.
