Honda has given the Elevate its first major update since the midsize SUV’s introduction in India in 2023. The facelift brings new lighting signatures, plus a revised grille and slightly updated bumpers on the outside. Inside, the cabin gains new features and a more premium feel. Prices for the Elevate facelift range between Rs 11.80 lakh and Rs 18.30 lakh (ex-showroom). Let’s now look at the different variants and powertrain specs.

Honda has carried over the Elevate’s sole engine option with the facelift. The 1.5-litre four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol mill continues to produce 121hp and 145Nm of torque. It can be had with a 6-speed manual gearbox or a CVT. The claimed mileage of the 2026 Elevate facelift is 15.31kpl for the manual and 16.61kpl for the CVT.

Honda has also introduced a new top-spec ZX+ trim, which means the Elevate facelift is available in 5 trims. The base SV trim is only offered with the manual gearbox, while the other four get both the CVT option as well. Here’s a look at the full variant spread and prices of the Honda Elevate facelift:
