The entry-level Comfort model gets cloth seats.
The Elevate rolled into South Africa in February and buyers are flocking to Honda showrooms to take test drives.
If you want to learn a bit more about the Elevate, here are the 3 things we think you should know about it.
1. The Honda Elevate is built on an established platform
The Honda Elevate shares its platform and 1.5-litre engine with the ever-reliable Honda Ballade. This pedigree ensures a focus on comfort, longevity, good handling, and fuel efficiency. In our experience (read our 2024 Honda Elevate review!), mixed driving yielded a consumption figure of 7 litres per 100 km.
2. The Elevate is spacious, safe, and family-friendly
Don't let the Elevate's compact design fool you; it has a surprisingly roomy interior with ample legroom, headroom, and a generous 458-litre boot. This makes it ideal for growing families, weekend adventures, or shopping trips with the girls. Plus, Honda's reputation for safety puts your mind at ease.
3. Its pricing is competitive
With South African families in mind, Honda has priced the Elevate competitively within the compact crossover segment There are two trim levels: the 1.5 Comfort (manual) starting at R371 000 and the 1.5 Elegance CVT offering additional features and a smoother automatic transmission (of the CVT variety), starting at R430,800.
It competes with cars like the Toyota Urban Cruiser, Kia Sonet, and Suzuki Grand Vitara.
