According to Honda, the name Elevate is a backronym, which the name represents 'empowerment, liberation, exploration, versatility, aspiration, transformation and evolution'.[4]
Overview
The Elevate was unveiled in India on 6 June 2023.[5] Developed by Honda R&D Asia Pacific in Thailand under the lead of Large Project Leader Munetsugu Kaneko,[6] the Elevate is built on the Global Small Car platform which also underpins the seventh-generation City. Its exterior dimensions are comparable to the Fit-based, global-oriented HR-V/Vezel. It is the only Honda SUV available in India at the time of its introduction, following the demise of the first-generation WR-V.[7]

The Elevate is equipped with the 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine shared with the City. Peak output for this engine is rated at 89 kW (119 hp; 121 PS) and 145 N⋅m (107 lb⋅ft) of torque. This engine is also designed to run on E20 fuel.[8] Honda stated that the Elevate will be available as a battery electric vehicle "in the next three years".[6]
