Honda has been known in India for sedans like the City & Civic, but one must adapt to changing trends. Their upcoming Elevate SUV has been spotted testing once again before its global debut on June 6. Let’s see what we know:
Elevate Spied Testing
Honda had been testing the compact SUV on Indian roads for a significant period of time. The latest spy-shots reveal the front fascia with some visible features through a finely wrapped camouflage. It stands on all-black alloy wheels with reflectors at the rear.

Elevate features a chunky front fascia with a large grille and sleek wraparound LED headlamps. The bonnet is somehow flat with a muscular shape. This confirms that the majority of the concept form will make it to the production level.
Powertrain
It is expected to be powered by the 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine that powers its sedan sibling, the City. It churns out 120 hp 145Nm and Honda might also add hybrid powertrains for their compact SUV later on.
