What owners and experts like about the Honda Elevate
Driving position
Strongly positivebased on 7 reviews
“What also helps matters are these bonnet flares on either side which really help you to place the car properly and it gives you a good idea of the edges of the car”
Handling
Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews
“it is one of the highlights for me it doesn't roll all that much and what works really well is the steering it's just got such a nice nice weight to it feels very precise”
Dashboard layout
Strongly positivebased on 9 reviews
“I like that there are physical controls up here for the toggle switches for the auto climate control... the cup holders are not interchangeable like they are in the City this time, which is a big relief”
Ride comfort
Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews
“on a bad Road it feels the toughest it takes the bigger portholes more confidently than all of the others so you can actually drive a bit faster as well on bad sections of road so that's a big win for the Honda”
Rear seat space
Generally positivebased on 7 reviews
“in isolation this is still a pretty roomy and comfortable space... a good amount of knee room for a passenger even of my height... typical of any Honda the rear seat is very very comfortable”
Seat comfort
Generally positivebased on 11 reviews
“the seat comfort, however, is just superb. They've judged the positioning and the cushioning just right... still plenty comfortable, especially in terms of lumbar support, which they've engineered in really, really well”
Where the Honda Elevate falls short
Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.
Highway overtaking
Strongly negativebased on 5 reviews
“you get the dreaded rubber band effect in all its Glory engine revs rise but there's not a corresponding increase in Road speed and it gets so noisy that you'll be nudged to just back off”
ADAS driver assistance
Generally negativebased on 14 reviews
“ADAS ki baat karein to practical hai woh. aaj roads pe practical nahi hai kyunki koi bhi kahi se bhi aage aa jata hai. gaadi ekdum sudden brake le leti hai. peeche se dikkat hoti hai ki peeche wala koi kabhi maar na jaye”
