Honda has introduced a fresh new face in their local SUV range: the All-New Elevate, with eye-catching styling, extensive features and driving capabilities that are bound to make it a success in the highly competitive SUV segment of the South African Passenger Car market.
Having made its Global Debut in June 2023, the Elevate is Honda’s All-New Global mid-size SUV, designed and developed by Honda R&D Asia Pacific, and manufactured by Honda Cars India Limited. This latest addition to Honda’s stable of SUVs demonstrates all the essential attributes of dynamism, bold styling, comfort and safety that Honda SUVs are renowned for.
The Honda Elevate, developed under the grand concept of ‘Urban Freestyler’, has been designed to integrate into various lifestyles and fulfil individual customer requirements through offering consumers a product that appeals through desirability, functionality, and usability.
The All-New Honda Elevate will be available in two derivatives – Comfort and Elegance – and is equipped with Honda’s 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine generating a power output of 89kW @6600rpm and torque of 145Nm @ 4300rpm. This new 1.5-litre powertrain is powerful and efficient with a fuel consumption figure of just 6.1L/100Km* and a CO2 emission figure of 146 g/Km*. This is used in combination with a 6-Speed Manual Transmission for the Comfort grade, and a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for the Elegance grade.
2024 Honda ELEVATE | Bold New Design
The All-New Honda Elevate is sure to stand-out on the road, with its bold and assertive exterior design elements, in combination with generous overall proportions. The smoothly creased hood lines, aggressively wide stance and bold grille is guaranteed to make a dramatic first impression.
The cabin of the Elevate is also generously spacious for both front and rear passengers, while also offering the largest luggage capacity in its class, at 458L. The Comfort grade features seats upholstered in high quality fabric, while the Elegance is adorned with Eco-friendly leather, further complementing the upmarket feel of the vehicle.
2024 Honda ELEVATE | The Best of Comfort & Convenience
The Elevate model range includes a host of comfort and convenience features as standard, including automatic air-conditioning, smart keyless entry with walk-away locking*, rear parking sensors and a multi-angle reverse parking camera.
2024 Honda ELEVATE | Safety.
The All-New Elevate range features a suite of safety technologies designed to ensure the safety of its passengers as well as others who may be involved in a collision.
The Elevate incorporates Honda’s proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure technology that forms the foundation for excellent passive safety performance, enhancing occupant crash protection. With the ACE™ body structure, a network of connected structural elements distributes crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle, reducing the forces transferred to the passenger compartment. The Elevate further features front, side and curtain SRS Airbags on the Elegance grade, while the Comfort derivative offers 2 front SRS Airbags.
