HONDA ELEVATE: POWERTRAIN OPTIONS
After its global debut in the Indian market back in July, the Elevate has now successfully undergone homologation, signaling the green light for its official introduction. Besides this, the Elevate shares its robust powertrain options with the acclaimed Honda City. Under the hood, a powerful 1.5-litre petrol engine churns out an impressive 121 bhp and 145 Nm of torque. This powerhouse can be coupled with either a sporty 6-speed manual transmission or a seamless 7-speed CVT automatic transmission.
While the Elevate showcases Honda’s commitment to innovation, it’s worth noting that the automaker has decided not to include a petrol-hybrid powertrain for this SUV. However, Honda enthusiasts need not fret, as the brand is paving the way for an all-electric SUV to make its mark in the future.
