The Honda Elevate is stylish, spacious, and most importantly, designed to keep you and your loved ones safe on the road.

1. Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) Body Structure

Honda's commitment to safety starts with the very foundation of the Elevate—its ACE body structure. This innovative design intelligently distributes crash energy away from the passenger cabin in the event of a collision. This means less force reaches the people inside, significantly reducing the chance of injury. The ACE body structure is a core component of Honda's safety philosophy, offering exceptional protection on South African roads.

Force is generated away from the cabin. (Please note that this is not the Elevate, but a Honda).

 

2. Two or Six Airbags

The Honda Elevate takes a comprehensive approach to passive safety with strategically placed airbags throughout the cabin. In a collision, the airbags deploy rapidly to cushion occupants and minimise impact-related injuries. 

The entry-level Comfort model has 2 airbags while the Elegance model is equipped with 6.

3. Vehicle Stability Control

The Elevate receives VSC as standard and this can be a real lifesaver. Here why:

  • Skid Prevention: VSA helps to prevent dangerous skids, especially in slippery conditions or during sudden manoeuvres.
  • Improved Cornering: The system makes cornering safer and more stable by providing corrections as needed.
  • Driver Confidence: Stability control enhances driver confidence, especially in less experienced drivers or challenging conditions.

Additional Standard Safety Features

Beyond those top three, the Honda Elevate offers several other safety features designed to give South African drivers complete confidence:

  • Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS): Prevents wheel lockup during sudden braking for better control.
  • Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD): Optimises braking power for maximum effectiveness.
  • Hill Start Assist (HSA): Prevents rollback when starting from a stop on an incline.
  • Rearview camera: Prevents you from reversing into a person or obstacle
