Elevate facelift with panoramic sunroof come
10:40 “inspired by” is a better line than “copied from”
thats why these finance guys should be me made management guys
You asked really good question 👍
How about BRV??
They should launch a new car: Honda Evasive.
Let me guess. Sub 4m SUV with the same 1.2L ivtec found in Amaze and no Hybrid or even factory CNG.
Honda City maine 2009 mein li thi aur woh pahi aur aakhri gaddi thi. Honda aaj bhi wahi 17 saal purani ivtec engine 2026 mein de rahe hai.
Elevate don't need a Hybrid Tech. Hybrid cars don't Handle as Good as Petrol cars do..... because of the heavy battery sitting beneath the boot , throws their tail out in the corners. Due to centrifugal force. It's already a high ground clearance car, so it will happen even badly. Petrol Elevate is already their best move...it's has better mileage than Grand Vitara and Victoris and Higher Running ground Clearance (220) than Fortuner/Hilux (219mm) with the shortest Turning Radius is just 4.2 meter like Brezza. Yet Spacious Interior and Sporty and the most powerful Engine....that sounds Sporty too...all we need is VX varient without Sunroof and considerably lowered price tag, as Now Elevate shares it's Interiors with Amaze.
Mujhe honda elevate ka v variant lena tha mne iss liye nhi liya kyu usme cruice control nhi h ab cruice control ke liye top model kaise buy kre atleat inhe cruice control dena chaiye niche ke variants m bhi
Spare parts milte ni honda k mrp se jayada k milte open market me milne chayea
Maintenance jo mehga ker raja hai uska kya
The hybrid version only begins to make genuine financial sense if you are pushing a massive 43,000 km of driving in a single year. If you actually maintain that heavy usage and the car successfully runs for 10 years, the hybrid finally catches up to and beats the regular petrol variant. Over that decade-long timeline, the massive accumulated fuel savings completely outrun the upfront price premium and the 7% compounding investment returns you could have made on that saved cash. Ultimately, unless you are hitting that extreme 43,000 km annual milestone, the standard petrol remains the smarter tool to protect and save your money.
“Made in India” is the real answer if Honda wants to reduce the price of its hybrid vehicles in India.
Bring bck diesel... Id tec
He didn't answer about Elevate hybrid launch?
Why no factory fitted ventilated seats 360 degree camera and hybrid in elevate. Why not upmarket speakers which competition has why can’t market feedback is not considered
Honda city face-lift looks more premium now ... hope Honda get a good design with Elevate in next face-lift...
Honda should give turbo petrol to fight competition
Kindly add this question in your list for any future conversations for all brands: Please always ask about any possibility of a Flex fuel vehicle launch, given the uncertainty around ethanol blending in India.
