Honda played it very safe here. Looks like Ignis on steroids. They could have launched the Vezel or HRV instead. I'm happy that I didn't wait for this and went ahead with GV Hybrid.

Looks almost like Punch.
Isn't it too tall?

From pics, the side and rear looks good; however the front fascia looks abrupt and in-your-face, unlike Honda. Maybe the grill should have been a size smaller and better integrated. Have to wait and watch how it looks in flesh.

This was not expected from Honda designer team, this looks like a copy of Punch.

Booking start in jul, deliveries from festive season

Those are very good dimensions from a size perspective. For reference, BR-V was only slightly longer but with less width and almost same height. GC at 220mm seems to be highest in segment. Shall be good to look at, hopefully


121bhp is good too. Shall depend upon the weight of the car but power isn't low. Shall be nice to drive, typical Honda I suppose. Waiting to see color options available. Wish there are odd colors to standout

off Topic:

what happened to the lights? even the live event was poorly lit.

One more image from the presentation:

[tiagoatrix]

VP of sales said that they expect Elevate to be their third volume muncher, clearly Honda doesn't have big ambition on this one, they'll be happy with 2-3k units / month.

Urban SUV? So Honda doesn't want people from rural areas to buy this product?

Delivery starts during festive season? Another 3-4 months of waiting.

Alloy of city on your grounds up product?

There is no stand out expect brand name. This will only please the most loyal Honda customer.

Competition is getting nuclear and Honda is bringing a shot gun to the war.

[Yieldway17]

The boxy shape looks good to me. Price it right, and they definitely have a successful product.

[kushagra452]

Reminds me of the MS Brezza. Honda played it really safe here. I expect, Honda to over price it (top end automatic at 20L+ OTR). This product will soon be forgotten as the masses move on to the other upcoming SUV. (read Jimny).

[sravankrishnan]

Slightly underwhelmed with this one. Too many elements although they did call it accessorized. The grill is a bit wrong and the overall design is not as modern as it should've been.
