Honda Cars India has launched a new Elevate ADV Edition, priced at ₹15.29 lakh (ex-showroom). Based on the top-spec ZX variant, this edition gives the compact SUV a tougher appearance while keeping the same powertrain as the standard model. The ADV Edition aims to attract buyers looking for a more adventurous design. While Honda has not made any mechanical changes, the ADV Edition gives the Elevate a fresh identity at a time when compact SUVs are increasingly adopting a sportier or adventure-inspired aesthetic.
| Transmission | Monotone Price | Dual-tone Price |
|---|---|---|
| 6-Speed Manual | ₹15.29 lakh | ₹15.49 lakh |
| 7-Speed CVT | ₹16.46 lakh | ₹16.66 lakh |
Adventure-Inspired Exterior Updates
Up front, the Honda Elevate ADV Edition gets new hood decals with orange accents and a blacked-out grille surround, replacing the usual chrome strip between the headlamps. Along the sides, it gets ADV badging on the fenders, decals on the front doors, and a series of blacked-out elements including the roof rails, ORVMs, shark-fin antenna, and door handles. The dual-tone variants also feature a blacked-out C-pillar. Completing the look are 16-inch black alloy wheels with orange highlights. At the rear, the SUV features a body-coloured skid plate with orange detailing and an ADV badge on the tailgate. It is offered in two shades, Meteoroid Gray Metallic and Lunar Silver Metallic, available in both monotone and dual-tone finishes.
Interior Updates & Features Carryover
Inside, the Honda Elevate ADV Edition retains the same layout as the regular model but introduces subtle updates that align with its exterior theme. The cabin now features an all-black interior with contrast orange finishes on the dashboard and door panels. Even the seats get orange stitching and ADV badge on it. Honda has also included ADV-branded floor mats. In terms of features, the SUV continues to offer a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch semi-digital driver display, a 8-speaker sound system, and a sunroof. It even gets a 360-degree camera as a dealer-level fitment. Safety equipment remains comprehensive with six airbags, lane-watch camera, hill start assist, and a rear-view camera.
Performance Remains Unchanged
Under the hood, the Elevate ADV Edition continues with the same 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which produces 121 HP and 145 NM of torque. The motor is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed CVT gearbox. While the model does not introduce any performance enhancements or off-road-specific hardware, the existing setup provides a good balance of refinement and fuel efficiency. Honda claims that the ADV Edition retains the standard Elevate’s driving dynamics, which are tuned for comfort rather than hardcore adventure.
Conclusion
With the ADV Edition, Honda is expanding the appeal of the Elevate lineup in India’s highly competitive compact SUV segment. The pricing suggests that Honda is targeting customers who value distinct styling and exclusivity rather than added power or features. The introduction of this edition also aligns with Honda’s broader plan to keep the Elevate range fresh until the arrival of its first electric SUV, the 0 Alpha, in 2027. Overall, the Elevate ADV Edition brings a subtle update to the model lineup, offering a visually rugged option that keeps the mechanicals unchanged.
