Honda Elevate colours and price guide



The Honda Elevate is compact in size, yet roomy on the inside, and it’s equipped with much more than just the basics. Honda has successfully identified what small families want in 2024 and loaded it all into their new budget-beater that’s set to give competitors a run for its money. - Ane Theron


Auto option

The Honda Elevate comes in two trims, the Comfort and the Elegance. The Comfort has a six-speed manual transmission, while the Elegance is fitted with a CVT (Continous Variable Transmission). There is currently no automatic transmission option available for the Elevate.
