Honda Elevate Manual & CVT Drive Impressions | Gagan Choudhary 

I find this a more of a mature option as compared to Creta and Seltos, with a refined and consistent engine, decent interiour, simple sober looks..

Forget the gimmicks....a good sorted engine ( because everyone here not here for drag races )....good steering feedback and adjustable both ways( which is rare these days), sorted space for everyone

Seems like a almost perfect no nonsense car. Adequate power, good ride, great comfort and GC, spacious and practical. Honda ticked all boxes nicely. For enthusiast drivers, we are forgetting that even if other brands have multiple engine options, thier NA engine is the one which sells the most. Compared to all other NA engines, this one is the best one. This NA engine + cvt seems like a perfect deal for most of the people out there. Enthusiast are 1-2% only. The only negative is missing hybrid engine but Honda knows it too. They intentionally skipped it because it will be very high in price (around 24-25) compared to city hybrid and people will just move to scorpio, harrier, xuv in that price range after complaining a lot on social media.

Just came back after test driving elevate. This car will age well. 🙌🏻

It doesn't matter how the metal feels. With all the "heaviness" of the Korean twins, they barely manage a 3 star safety rating, whereas Honda has been hitting 5 star ratings since forever. Even Honda Jazz had a 5 star safety rating. Having owned a City for the past 8 years, Honda is a brand where you can just buy the car and have peace of mind w.r.t safety, performance, comfort, reliability and ride.

I've bought Honda city with ADAS this month. And i completely agree with you that Honda should launch a hybrid model without ADAS to cut cost. Hybrid City/elevate at 15L will kill all compitition.

I'm 50 secs into the video and I already love it! @0:58 Looks of that dog was amazing. Leave the car and look at him posing for the camera🤣🤣

2:33 talks about reliability and here enters the king of reliability

Honda is safer than TATA and Creta. It’s a much better choice for a premium customer

What else you need? Auto climate control, CVT and NV, Good headlights, seat height adjustment, decent tyre profile, nice steering feel. This is the car if it gets the pricing right.

woh volkswagon wali.....😂😂😂

Actually this car is looking quite better than over designed Korean Siblings, Front is looking refreshing and will look good last long, Just simple and sobher, Proper hybrid engine is extremely needed btw, Nice video and the ending was awesome Gagan bhaiya ❤️🙏🫡

Polo GT has 1100 kg weight and 105 BHP power, does 0-100 under 10.5s. 1250 kg/119 BHP doesn't seem far off. Even if it does 0-100 under 12s but cruise at 120 without much stress, it should be enough for most.

The best and the most detailed video of the Honda Elevate… Everything is explained keeping the buyer in mind and in simple language which one understands… I mean it

Sometimes in life more choice is more confusion and more headache. Look at Brezza. With just one petrol N.A. engine it's selling so well. Ditto with old Brezza which sold well with just one diesel engine. I know some people who got so confused with too many engine gearbox combinations of korean cars that they went and bought a Honda City. For its simplicity. Such people will happily buy Elevate. I expect it to sell at least 6,000 units per month.

Elevate is still a better choice who r looking for Safety and Reliability at the same time💯

I see ZX CVT as a very value for money option, and for me missing top important features are. 1.360-View Camera - Safety 2. Electric Seat Adjustment - Comfort 3. Sun blinds for windows - Comfort 4. Ventilated Seats - Comfort 5. No Hybrid - Milage

very helpful .. I've booked an Elevate and awaiting delivery. Was good to understand the pros and cons

Your video making quality is improving day by day, love to watch your reviews

Looks like an American suv with that upright stance and butch grill ... especially looks great in blue colour ....this will certainly have a commanding road presence.....

Overall a great product from Honda

I am always waiting for your videos to watch a detailed, descriptive videos. Thanks

Very well edited videos, really love your new tricks to enhance video experience ❤

0:59 l liked the model standing behind the car.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Top class review ! Gagan sir well done

7:26 That is not a dummy button it has a lock inside it. If you have trouble with your key or getting engine started you can use it to start your engine without issues.

as usual. Ur reviews are always perfect. Elevate looks mature and sober. if diesel and/or hybrid would have offered then it would bang the market

I think lots of new buyers will buy it as you mentioned who don't want more features, and performance. Honda has built this elevate for mass buyers who just want service cost, service network, decent performance, safety (maybe it got 5star, i believe)...and it also comes in the middle of the creta and Nexon segment, for those who is seeing nexon top model and didn't want to buy the creta or seltos....

I liked this car. Honda pls pls give automatic CVT version under 14-15 lakh on road. I'll definitely buy.

Front Parking sensor a vital miss for tight parking. TPMS , Dashcamera is a must.

Bhai aapki editing next level hai. Really appreciated❤👍,

Simply a no nonsense car. A mature product 👍🏼

1:00 that stare 🐶 🔥

Simplistic design looks good. If Honda prices it competitively then it’s worth.

I am watching a video of this channel for the very first time and really enjoyed the way you explain things and connect with the audience. Nice and informative video.

Great review Gagan bro. Loved it! That "Maja aa gya mere ko toh" at 20:18 gets me every time XD

In this video i feel like he has some problem with honda

very nice review. you have pointed exactly what Honda missed out. looks like Honda team was under pressure to release a product to compete with Hyundai, Toyota and Suzuki. One of my favourite companies, Honda but somehow they are playing so small in India. They can do better.

Keep on with the new style of review. It surely helps in retaining viewers

Brilliant video... Excellent coverage of all relevant aspects... Well done

I used to get 14 kmpl in city and 20 on highway from 2014 City CVT. The trick to get good mileage from CVT is to keep the RPM below 1500. And honda tunes their CVTs to do just that.

looks amazing ❤

Absolutely true .adas with a cam doesn’t attract buyers .instead of that if they had hybrid in elevate and price it at 16-17 .it will sell like hot cake

Cvt lever ke pass dummy button nahi hain... If ever your lever gets stuck.. You have to insert screwdriver in a notch of that button which will help you pry open the "dummy button" and then stick the screwdriver inside and your lever will get unstuck.

00:59 Real Owner Standing Behind the Car 😅😅😂

In depth review, ;loved the opening and closing shots of you both in knee high water stream , Yeh Gaadi zaroor Honda Ko Paani Mein se nikalegi .... Very SENSIBLE product.Finally A Honda I liked after a lonnnnnnng time .

Best suv in segment 👍👍👍👍looks....best engine...space...ground clearance.. ❤️

Hi, I am planning to buy the ZX CVT but I'm just worried about ADAS's CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking system). My usage in the city and typical congested Indian city condition.. bumper to bumper traffic. I am worried about the system giving false warnings or warning it think is correct & then applying strong brakes. Worried about rear collision. Turning it off each time is impractical. Please let me if in your tests you found it to be problem or the system is good and not very intrusive to create a problem. Thanks

looks features everything is amazing ❤ liked it worth car

I like the honest review you give... At least u don't manipulate your audience like other influencers do.

Point to Point Amazing cover 👍👍👍

Honda does very good job simple sobar wala thing I definitely choose honda❤

Most of Honda Cars manufactured and sold in India are Good 4/5 star rated by GNCAP like Amaze,City 4th Gen and Jazz which was almost 5 star rated if it would have scored 0.11 pts more 5th Gen City scored 5 star in Asean NCAP and same model selling in India (officially confirmed by Honda India) so it will definitely score 5 star rating if tested by GNCAP... Sheet metal,Door thud doesn't define safety aspect 6:07 Why don't you mention that Creta and Seltos are 3/5 star rated that too boundary line and Elevate will definitely score at least 4 star or more than that because Honda's ACE body structure is anyday better than Hyundai's K platform That In house crash test of Elevate looks promising because they have done test as per EURO NCAP standards like flat barrier,rear crash and Updated GNCAP protocols Pole,side impact tests etc

The more I watch Elevate videos the more I'm starting to like it. I drive a 2017 Honda City CVT it's drives like a dream even now: that 1.5 i-VTEC and CVT is a marriage made in heaven: most youngsters may not agree but to I've lived with it for 7 years. Elevate has most of the essential features and has a down to earth retail price with ADAS. What more do you want. Like the way Elevate was captured on the road from outside in this video and it looked imposing and sexy at the same time (time stamp 10mins) very planted, indeed. It's a no nonsense car that will grow on you and endear to it's owners with it's reliability and fuss free performance even after the novelty factor wears off, it's more for a mature audience...I liked the video even though I may not to agree to all that you said.

Elevate sold very less despite being a great machine! Priced okay at 15 to 20. Could be more competitive. It's an all-rounder - reliable, decent mileage, strong and will age well. Missing essentials: Front parking sensor, 360 reverse cam, 6 air bags standard, ventilated seats, silent cabin. What is its actual user mileage? What is the safety rating and crash test result?

Absolutely adorable! The way the dog was standing silently in one corner and watching the camera recording the car....

Very informative and impressive video.... Keep it up bro 👍🏼 In my case, I owns a Grand Vitara, base model, which I got a month back. I considered the Hyrider, Creta, Seltos, Kushaq and finally went for the GV. Then came this one from Honda, and I was a bit skeptical. But with all these info I received, I am happy and feels that I've made the right choice - GV is the one for me ❤

I'm currently deliberating between the New Creta and the Elevate for my next car purchase. My budget falls within the range of 18L-19L. My daily commute primarily consists of approximately 80km within city limits, and I go on highway drives around 8-10 times a year. Safety and mileage are top priorities for me. After evaluating various options, I've narrowed down my choices to these two cars. However, I'm facing a dilemma. With my budget, I can afford the Top CVT model of the Elevate, while with the Creta, I can only get the 2nd top model. Although the Elevate lacks some features offered by the Creta, Honda is renowned for its engine performance and reliability. Moreover, I plan to keep this car for more than 10 years, so factors such as service cost and spare parts availability are crucial considerations for my decision. Additionally, I'm concerned about the potential discontinuation of the Elevate model by Honda, similar to what happened with the WRV and BRV models, and how it would impact service and parts availability in the long term. I've received a significant discount from the Honda dealership for the Nov/Dec-2023 model. Considering this, should I still consider the Elevate, or would it be better to opt for the Creta for its features, look, and feel? Given these factors, I would greatly appreciate your guidance on which option would be the best choice for me.

Pure 26 min ke video me pani vala scene bahut hi badhiya tha gagan sir !!!!!!

Gagan bhai, please also mention the exorbitant taxation prices on hybrids and how the GOI doesn't allow customers to purchase hybrid cars. If they wanted they would have made them more affordable. It's a smart decision by Honda not to bring Elevate Hybrid. 43% vs 45%, dekhlo bhai sab.

you are the true reviewer ❤️❤️

Such an on spot review ❤

I took the test drive recently. Ur review is honest.

I think Gagan Points are totally valid if you look at the sub 20 lakh segment there are plenty of good opinions from sedans like virtus, verna, city, slavia to CSUVs with good performance like creta, seltos, Taigun/Kushaq, Hyryder/Grand Vitara etc and they provide plenty of features which you don't see in Elevate, apart from Honda reliability (which is no doubt is great) what you get here which sets elevate apart from compitition. As Gagan said this car is decent offering in this segment which not going to make buyers wow over it but creates another alternative in this segment. As always typical Honda just doing things for the the sake of doing thing in Indian market just look at the hybrid city that thing cost almost 5lakh extra which doesn't make much sense for many then then this Elevate just enough so they can have Suv in their lineup. It will be more more existing if Honda bring back their global RV lineup in India

No doubt Honda make some good looking and decent cars

Bhai Mera to Dil aa gya hai ess car per

0:59 gagan be like:- piche owner bhi khare hai unse bhi puch lete hai kesi lagi car 😂😂

Thoughts on hybrid is absolutely acceptable. Definitely sale will increase

Ek no.thumbnail h Gagan bhai 🎉

Sun roof choti hai ... Lol , for India sunroof is not required at all. And u do not need to climb outside 😂, that's not the purpose.

Excellent review all points explained honda is really not entering in market like what they did with honda city diesel and amaze

Good review. pragmatic and unbiased

This guy best auto reviewer in India.

Appropriate review! They could've done so much with Elevate but somehow Honda missed the bus. A simple, 27-28 KMPL mileage giving Hybrid Engine and a few cosmetic features like Panoramic Sunroof, 360 Degree Camera, Ventilated Seats etc could be the game changer, but Honda being Honda :)

Honda is like Batman, not something you asked for but something you needed 🤣

They would have provided Hybrid as engine option at least at lower variant. Then it would be really interesting 😊

A New subscriber here. I found your contents to be one among the best reliable youtubers . Keep uploading more contents ❤️ with love 💕 from Nagaland 👍🙏

13:14 Rumble strips ka to purpose hi wahi hota hai na? 🤔

All reviewers r applauding handling and steering feedback of this car ,they r super impressed but gagan u r saying total opposite of that . Also ride quality is best of this car as per all auto journalist but u r saying opposite here as well. Although u r a good car reviewer I always feel u have soft corner for Koreans . U always appreciate them more irrespective of whatever product they launch .

Always wait for gagan bhai videos ❤

In my experience now a days most of us needs power enthusiast engines. With only one engine type (without diesel and petrol turbo), but if with low price could be an average sale for this product

Xuv300 may be a segment below, but does elevate feel better than xuv300 in ride handling and power

सारे यू ट्यूबर मिलकर भी एक कार बनाओ😂

Hai, here's a New subscriber from Nagaland, Kohima, Love your contents keep uploading more ❤️👍

If There Is Hybrid And Some More Features It Will Be Best

Grand Vitara Have Atleast Awd Not 100 percent Pseudo SUV Ok 👍

There is some thing fresh in this particular video then the usual one of yours

Finally after long time a new No Nonsense Honda car!

Look at the bonnet it’s unpainted from inside 😮🤔

At 18:44 Gagan bhai ne kya chutki bajayi hai manual se sidha CVT se 😅😅

Excellent review brother ❤❤❤

I like it from the "front and rear". NIceeee!

Front looks MGish.

Bhai nice review me wait Kar raha tha eski but mene honda city le li thanks for review I have taken right decision.

How will it perform in full load on uphill situations?

Taigun gt+ worth .. Elevate if has ventilation seat,ambient light,turbo charge or hybrid,digital speedometer ,electric seat,means sure i will buy honda elevate 🙌

Excellent video, best Elevate review on RU-vid

Would love to buy but a bit worried about rusting. Have been a lifelong City user
