Honda has released a teaser for a new special edition of the Elevate SUV, hinting at a more rugged and adventurous version of its popular compact SUV. The teaser, titled “Bold Companion” and “Explorer”, suggests that the upcoming model could be officially named the Honda Elevate Explorer Edition or Bold Edition.
Design and Styling Highlights
The teaser image reveals a more muscular and outdoorsy appearance for the Elevate. It features:
- A blacked-out front fascia with sleeker LED DRLs
- Red accents around the Honda logo, bumper, and alloy wheels
- Roof rails and a more robust stance that underline its off-road character
These updates give the SUV a stronger, more purposeful presence — ideal for customers who want a blend of city comfort and adventure-ready styling.
Powertrain Details
Under the hood, the Elevate Bold/Explorer Edition is expected to retain the same 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT automatic gearbox. No mechanical changes are anticipated, as the focus appears to be on design and cosmetic enhancements.
Expected Launch and Positioning
Honda may introduce the special edition Elevate later this year as part of its festive lineup or as a limited-run model. It will likely sit slightly above the standard variants, appealing to lifestyle SUV buyers who prefer bold styling and exclusivity.
With this edition, Honda aims to strengthen the Elevate’s presence in the fiercely competitive compact SUV space, taking on rivals like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
