The naturally aspirated gasoline unit makes a peak power of 121bhp with a 6-speed manual or a CVT gearbox. Its manual and automatic version deliver a claimed fuel efficiency of 17.8kmpl and 18.4kmpl respectively. The strong hybrid setup with an eCVT transmission offers a mileage of 27.13kmpl.

With the Atkinson Cycle petrol-hybrid powertrain, the Honda Elevate is expected to return a fuel economy of around or over 27kmpl. If it happens, Honda’s SUV will be among the most frugal midsize SUVs in the country. For reference, its rivals Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder – both come with the 1.5L strong hybrid powertrain and promise a fuel efficiency of up to 27.97kmpl.

Besides powertrain, the Honda Elevate will share its some of its features with the City sedan. The carmaker will pack the SUV with Honda Sensing ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) tech. The suite will offer features such as automatic emergency braking system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure assist, lane keep assist, low speed follow function, automatic high beam and more. There might also be a digital driver display, a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone connectivity, ambient lighting system, automatic climate control, cruise control, a single-pane sunroof, etc.
