Here's a closer look at the prices, variants, design changes, features, safety equipment and engine specifications of the 2026 Honda Elevate facelift.
2026 Honda Elevate Facelift Price And Variants
The updated Honda Elevate is available in six variants: SV, V, VX, ZX, ZX Plus and ZX Plus Black. It is offered with a manual transmission in the lower variants, while the CVT automatic is available in select higher trims.
All prices are introductory and ex-showroom.
Exterior Design: Updated Front And Rear Styling
The 2026 Honda Elevate receives noticeable styling changes, particularly at the front. It gets a redesigned grille, a revised front bumper and connected LED daytime running lights that give the SUV a fresher appearance. LED projector headlamps, integrated position lamps and turn indicators continue to be part of the lighting setup.
A blacked-out panel below the DRLs houses the front camera and parking sensors. The updated bumper also features body-coloured elements around the LED fog lamps and silver inserts for a slightly more rugged look.
In profile, the lower variants get 16-inch steel wheels, while the VX and higher variants feature 17-inch alloy wheels. Body-coloured door handles and the existing blind-spot monitoring system are retained. The ORVMs now also accommodate cameras as part of the 360-degree camera system.
At the rear, the SUV gets connected LED tail lamps with the Honda logo positioned in the centre. A subtle roof spoiler adds a sportier touch, while the rear bumper, number plate housing and reverse parking sensors largely remain unchanged.
Colour Options
The updated Elevate is available in seven exterior shades:
- Crystal Black Pearl
- Obsidian Blue Pearl
- Radiant Red Metallic
- Meteoroid Grey Metallic
- Lunar Silver Metallic
- Platinum White Pearl
- Nordic Forest Pearl (new)
A contrasting black roof option is available with Nordic Forest Pearl, Platinum White Pearl and Radiant Red Metallic.
Interior And Comfort Features
The cabin retains its practical dashboard layout, clean air-conditioning vent design and spacious seating arrangement. The facelift introduces ambient lighting in higher variants, while a white-and-grey dual-tone theme across the dashboard, door panels and leatherette upholstery gives the interior a refreshed appearance.
The SUV continues to focus on everyday usability, with comfortable seats and good thigh support. Feature additions include ventilated front and rear seats, along with powered front seats. The driver's seat gets eight-way adjustment, while the front passenger seat offers four-way adjustment.
Other comfort and convenience features include:
- 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Connected car technology
- Semi-digital instrument cluster
- Eight-speaker sound system with four speakers and four tweeters
- Single-pane sunroof
- Automatic climate control
- Adjustable headrests for all seats
- Active keyless entry and engine start
Rear-seat ventilation is one of the major additions to the updated Elevate, while powered and ventilated front seats further improve comfort on longer journeys.
Safety Features And ADAS
The 2026 Honda Elevate comes with Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, automatic high-beam assist and automatic emergency braking.
Standard safety equipment includes six airbags, electronic stability control, hill-hold assist and rear parking sensors. Other features include an auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, a blind-view monitor and a 360-degree camera.
The addition of front parking sensors is another practical upgrade, helping drivers judge the distance from obstacles in tight parking spaces.
Engine And Transmission Options
Honda has retained the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine from the outgoing Elevate. There are no changes to its stated power and torque outputs.
The engine is available with a six-speed manual gearbox or a CVT automatic transmission, depending on the variant. Honda has focused this update on design, comfort, convenience and safety rather than introducing a new powertrain.
Final Verdict
The 2026 Honda Elevate facelift brings several meaningful upgrades to the mid-size SUV, particularly in terms of comfort and safety equipment. Connected LED lighting, ventilated rear seats, powered front seats, a 360-degree camera and Level 2 ADAS help address areas where the previous model needed additional features.
However, the SUV continues with the same 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and the existing manual and CVT transmission options. Buyers looking for a different powertrain will not find any mechanical changes with this update.
With introductory prices ranging from Rs 11.80 lakh to Rs 18.40 lakh, ex-showroom, the updated Elevate offers a more comprehensive feature list, especially in its higher variants. Buyers should compare the variant-wise equipment carefully, as some of the major additions are reserved for the more expensive trims.
