Honda has introduced a new and more rugged version of its popular mid-size SUV — the Elevate ADV Edition — in India. The newly launched variant adds a sportier, adventure-inspired design along with exclusive interior detailing and premium cosmetic updates. Prices for the Elevate ADV Edition start at Rs. 15.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the manual variant and go up to Rs. 16.66 lakh for the CVT dual-tone version. The ADV Edition commands a premium of Rs. 22,000 to Rs. 42,000 over the equivalent standard trims.
Bolder, Sportier Design with Exclusive Exterior Updates
The Honda Elevate ADV Edition sets itself apart from the regular model with several distinctive visual enhancements that emphasize its adventurous and athletic character. At the front, it features a new glossy black Alpha-Bold Plus grille paired with a striking orange-accented hood decal, adding a dynamic contrast to the SUV’s exterior.
The side profile gets black roof rails, black ORVMs, and black alloy wheels highlighted with orange inserts, giving the Elevate ADV Edition a more robust stance. At the rear, it receives a skid plate with orange accents, ADV badging, and an orange fog lamp garnish — all combining to enhance its sporty, outdoorsy appeal.
Available in Meteoroid Grey Metallic and Lunar Silver Metallic, the Elevate ADV Edition can be had in both single-tone and dual-tone finishes, offering buyers a choice between subtle sophistication and eye-catching flair.
Premium Interior with Adventure-Themed Touches
Inside, the Honda Elevate ADV Edition gets a comprehensive styling update to match its bold exterior. The cabin now features an all-black interior theme with orange stitching and accents on the seats, AC knobs, and gear console.
A major highlight is the first-in-Honda ADV Terrain Pattern backlit illuminated instrument panel, which adds a premium, futuristic ambiance to the cabin. The embossed ADV logos on the seats, combined with the contrast orange detailing, give the SUV a distinct sporty character. Overall, the interior feels more dynamic and refined compared to the standard Elevate.
Performance and Powertrain Options
Under the hood, the Honda Elevate ADV Edition retains the proven 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, which continues to deliver reliable and efficient performance. The engine is paired with two transmission choices — a six-speed manual and a seven-speed CVT automatic equipped with paddle shifters for a more engaging drive.
This setup ensures that while the ADV Edition emphasizes style and adventure, it also maintains the same dependable performance and drivability that the Elevate is known for.

The Elevate ADV Edition comes packed with a comprehensive set of safety and driver-assistance technologies. It includes the Honda Sensing ADAS suite, which offers advanced safety functions such as:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)
- Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)
- Auto High-Beam Assist
In addition, standard safety equipment includes six airbags, a LaneWatch camera, hill start assist, vehicle stability control, and ISOFIX child seat mounts, ensuring maximum protection for all occupants.
