Deliveries of the facelifted Honda Elevate have begun across India. Prices are reported to start at Rs 11.80 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. Honda unveiled the updated SUV on October 6, 2026 in New Delhi and says India is the first country in the world to get it.

Prices and the new top variant
| Version | Ex-showroom Delhi |
|---|---|
| Starting price | Rs 11.80 lakh |
| ZX+ CVT (new) | Rs 18.40 lakh |
ZX+ is a new variant at the top of the range. Ex-showroom prices leave out road tax, registration and insurance. You can see what the car costs on the road on the Honda Elevate on-road price page, or work out your own figure with the on-road price calculator.
Manual or CVT
The engine is unchanged: Honda's 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol. Outputs are reported at 121hp and 145Nm. You choose between a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed CVT.
The CVT adds paddle shifters. It is also the only version with the low-speed follow function for adaptive cruise control. That function slows and moves the car in stop-go traffic. These facts do not cover fuel economy or running costs, so they do not settle the choice between gearboxes.
Bookings and deliveries
Pre-launch bookings opened on October 1, 2026, at a booking amount of Rs 21,000. The car launched in early October, and deliveries are now reported to be under way nationwide. Stock and delivery dates vary by variant. IndiCar confirms availability, the delivery date and a written price breakup for your chosen version before you book. You can also compare the Elevate with other SUVs on the full list of new cars with on-road prices.
