For me, it has to be the Honda Elevate. After driving cars with stiff suspensions, clunky gearboxes, and noisy cabins, the Elevate feels like a breath of fresh air. The 1.5L i-VTEC is pure Honda magic smooth, refined, and eager to rev when you need it, yet calm and efficient in city traffic. It's the kind of engine that makes you want to take the long way home. The driving position is spot on, visibility is excellent, and the suspension just glides over bad roads without losing composure. I don't get out of the car with aches or fatigue anymore which was a big issue for me with some of my previous cars. And then there's the peace of mind that comes with Honda's reliability. No unnecessary gimmicks, no drama just solid engineering, quality fit & finish, and a car that feels like it'll be with me for years without fuss. That's why the Elevate is my pick

I find the Elevate to be the perfect companion for both long road trips and everyday driving. What really stands out for me is Honda's legendary reliability and the smooth i-VTEC engine, which is refined, efficient, and built for the long run. The Elevate's comfortable seating, excellent visibility, and practical cabin space make it ideal for someone like me who love covering miles without fatigue. I also appreciate the well-balanced suspension setup...planted enough for highways yet comfortable over rough patches. Add to that the modern features, Honda's fuss-free ownership experience, and the peace of mind with their service network, and the Elevate becomes a well-rounded choice for enthusiasts who value both driving pleasure and dependability. For someone like me who loves touring, the Honda Elevate strikes the right balance between performance, comfort, and practicality.

Owning the Honda City for eighteen months has been a pleasure. The engine refinement is unmatched..it feels incredibly smooth, even in traffic. The CVT gearbox is tuned perfectly for relaxed city driving. I love how light the steering is, yet stable on highways..

Currently speaking the Honda Elevate has to be my favourite, it's just a damn good for the price and the all rounded ness it offers is quite amazing and it is quite ecoNomical aswell and a perfect fit for a family car.

Under 25 lakhs, My favourite is Honda Elevate VX CVT, my present ride. The reasons being 1. I prefer Petrol (due to DPF issues of diesel cars) 2. Prefer NA engine (due reports of occasional turbo failures in turbocharged engines). Though I like tech in cars, I think more the tech, more the chances of failures. There should be a balance between old school and new tech in cars. For example physical buttons for AC controls are always preferred. But on the display screen, touch makes it easy to navigate. 3. Right balance of power and fuel efficiency. Adequate power for fast overtakes even on the narrow 2 lane roads of Kerala and decent braking. Good fuel efficiency, even upto 18 kmpl on sedate driving 4. Reasonably refined especially while cruising, can get vocal on rapid acceleration though. 5. Has all the necessary features I need except 360 degree camera, which Honda is Now providing as an accessory. 6. Road presence and Interior space. 7. The Honda reliability and service experience. 8. Value for money especially after the gst cut since the price has come below the 15 lakh mark and thus a further savings of 2% on road tax.

I am liking the Honda Elevate. A No Nonsense vehicle, that Nobody can get really wrong. I am flabbergasted by Japanese's confidence in their products considering their extremely late entry to the market and trying to carve out a customer base with lots of Noise from turbo engines and diesel domination. Sure, the sales figures do Not represent a success but I believe that Honda kNow their customers well. For the ones, who are looking for fun, high revving, dramatic yet friendly, simple and reliable family car, Elevate is a natural choice. With the platform proving to carry lot of potential for at least a decade, a hybrid with slightly better pricing may make Elevate a top choice for even office goers.

I chose Honda Elevate CVT. Coming from Swift Petrol VXI which served me well for over 10 years. I was looking for a 1500CC NA engine, automatic transmission, better build quality, I keep my cars for long time so hassle free ownership. After checking out other cars like Kylaq, Hyryder, Brezza, I decided on Elevate as my favorite as it was a well rounded package.

I like Honda Elevate. In a market flooded with features, they have taken a strong position by focussing on basics like safety, reliability and comfort rather than bells and whistles. For a long term user, I feel the car is No Nonsense, which gets the basics right and delivers it.

I would call myself a Honda Fanboy with owning a Jazz, brother owning a City and I am planning to upgrade to Honda Elevate. Having said that based on my driving experience, I am also very critical of the strategy, vision and roadmap Honda has been opting for over the last decade. Elevate may not be the best Car in all departments but it does offer value of money and is a right fit for my needs. I am defensive driver...not a fan of features with no real value or aid directly in driving comforts (multiple screens, only touchscreens with no physical buttons, panoramic sunroofs at cost of safety etc). With my physical condition I want the most reliable car which can do its business without any complaints. so Elevate it is!!

After Doing All the research for last 6 months I finally bought a Honda Elevate ZX CVT. I am a Biker and Auto Enthusiast. Middle class guy and do not have a lot of disposable income so I wanted a reliable car which can last for a long time and thats why I chose Honda. Secondly I already am a Honda Bike User so I know how reliable the Brand is, Additionally the service cost is also pocket friendly so due to all these reasons I chose Honda Elevate. So Honda is My favorite Brand.

I really like the Honda Elevate, the design speaks maturity, also, there is no mess of the driving aids, except for the basics, the simplicity makes the driving experience more living. Also, the Japanese refinement is one of the reasons.

For now Honda Elevate in the compact SUV segment since it comes with a no nonsense 1.5 L IVTEC engine and is highly reliable. NVH level is something I will find a solution for.
