Honda Elevate ZX CVT: Likes & Dislikes from an ex-Hyundai Venue owner

Ground clearance and driving position, the bonnet edge is fully visible. I lack depth of perception in my left eye, thus this is a boon.

BHPian smilenow recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Took delivery of the car today.
Model - CVT/ZX - Golden Brown Today.
Dealer - Courtesy Honda, Wazirpur
Colour - Golden Brown
On-road price - 18.75 Lakhs
Waiting period - Nill, Booked it last week.
I didn't have an issue with a MY23 car.

Deciding Factors-
1) Driving view/position.
2) Tried tested engine, transmission combo pack
3) Steering feel, was sick of the no steering feedback of Hyundai Venue (upgraded from that car)
4) Seat quality and material used on the seats.

Prima Facie happy with
1) The car is easy to handle and maneuverable
2) Audio quality is decent enough for an everyday average joe non audiophile
3) Ground clearance and driving position, the bonnet edge is fully visible. I lack the depth of perception in my left eye, thus this is a boon.
4) Smooth gearbox. As smooth as my 2023 Tucson which is double the price of this car.
5) The quality of the lane switch left side camera is excellent.
6) The infotainment screen is quite fast.
7) Ride Quality is good, quality of paddle shifters is great.

Didn't like -
1) Cost cutting, visible in several places, especially the doors.
2) All of the car's settings (ADAS etc) can be accessed only via the driver's speedometer/digital display via a very limited time menu. They should have been accessible to the screen. The parking sensors were off when the car was delivered to me. I had to tinker around the settings for quite a bit to find out what was wrong or whether the sensors were defective or not.
3) Lack of front camera. The bonnet is quite high, a 360-degree camera is needed for this car.

A photo from the showroom. Will post an update around the 5000KMs mark.
