Honda is set to debut an all-new SUV in India next month. The Japanese automaker has now revealed the name of the upcoming mid-sized SUV, which will be called “Elevate”.
With this, Honda abandons its typical RV naming scheme for SUVs and CUVs, which it had previously used for a wide variety of cars, including the CR-V, HR-V, BR-V, WR-V, and ZR-V. Therefore, the “Elevate” will genuinely represent a new beginning for the company in the SUV segment.

In response to the strong demand for SUVs around the world, Honda has developed the Elevate as a new global model for its lineup. The revised design takes into account consumers’ lifestyle needs and expectations for Honda’s upcoming SUV. According to Honda, the all-new Elevate embodies the company’s efforts to develop the ideal urban SUV that will appeal to those with higher tastes in finer things. It stands for the desire to advance to the next level and the goal to succeed.
According to earlier media sources, a new 1.5L twin-cam petrol engine, which also powers the new 7th-gen City sedan, would be there under the hood of the Honda Elevate. The engine would be paired with a CVT as well as a 6-speed manual gearbox. A hybrid powertrain will also be offered in later stages.
