The Indian Armed Forces will be able to purchase Honda’s Elevate SUV from Canteen Store Departments (CSD) located all around the country, according to an announcement made by Honda. The Honda City and the Honda Amaze are already being offered through the Canteen Store Departments, and now the Elevate is the third model that Honda provides for sale through these departments.

The foundation of the Honda Elevate is identical to that of the fifth generation City. Therefore, it is driven by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine that is naturally aspirated and provides a maximum power output of 119 horsepower at 6,600 revolutions per minute (rpm) and a maximum torque production of 145 Nm at 4,300 rpm. The transmission can be either a seven-step continuously variable transmission (CVT) or a six-speed manual gearbox.
When compared to the automatic transmission, the manual gearbox has a fuel economy number of 15.31 kilometers per gallon, while the automatic gearbox generates 16.92 kilometers per gallon. The Elevate will not be available for purchase with a diesel engine from the manufacturer. Instead, somewhere during the next two years, they will introduce an Elevate that is powered entirely by electric motors.
Among the mid-size SUVs available on the Indian market, the Elevate is now one of the most reasonably priced options. A price range of ₹11.58 lakh to ₹16.20 lakh is available for this item. Each of these pricing are ex-showroom. This product is available in four different variants: SV, V, VX, and ZX. With the exception of the SV variant, the automatic transmission is offered in all of the variation options.
