Honda Elevate Prices Increased for 2026, Base Variant Now Rs 11.6 Lakh
Honda Car India has implemented a price hike for the Elevate as the new year begins, with increases of up to 5.5% across the range. The revised pricing makes the Honda Elevate more expensive than before, with the base variant now starting at Rs 11.6 lakh (ex-showroom), up from Rs 10.99 lakh earlier.
With this update, the Elevate regains its position as the costliest SUV in its segment at the entry level. Interestingly, despite the higher starting price, the Elevate continues to undercut most of its rivals in the top-end configuration, offering a relatively lower fully loaded price compared to alternatives like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq.
| Configuration | New Price (ex-showroom) | Old Price (ex-showroom) | Difference |
| SV MT | 11.6 lakh rupees | 11 lakh rupees | 59,990 rupees |
| V MT | 12.06 lakh rupees | 11.96 lakh rupees | 9,990 rupees |
| V CVT | 13.22 lakh rupees | 13.12 lakh rupees | 9,990 rupees |
| VX MT | 13.75 lakh rupees | 13.61 lakh rupees | 13,590 rupees |
| VX CVT | 14.91 lakh rupees | 14.77 lakh rupees | 13,590 rupees |
| ZX MT | 14.98 lakh rupees | 14.88 lakh rupees | 9,990 rupees |
| ZX CVT | 16.25 lakh rupees | 16.15 lakh rupees | 9,990 rupees |
| Black Edition MT | 15.07 lakh rupees | 14.98 lakh rupees | 9,990 rupees |
| Black Edition CVT | 16.25 lakh rupees | 16.15 lakh rupees | 9,990 rupees |
| ADV Edition MT | 15.39 lakh rupees | 15.29 lakh rupees | 9,990 rupees |
| ADV Edition CVT | 16.57 lakh rupees | 16.47 lakh rupees | 9,990 rupees |
The highest price increase has been applied to the base SV variant, which does not get the option of an automatic gearbox. Other trims see smaller revisions, typically under Rs 15,000, across both manual and CVT versions. Honda continues to offer the Elevate in SV, V, VX and ZX trims, along with Black and ADV special editions.
Despite the price revision, there are no mechanical changes. The Elevate remains powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 119 hp and 145 Nm of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT. Fuel efficiency figures also remain unchanged.
For buyers, the price hike narrows the value gap at the lower end of the mid-size SUV segment, but the Elevate still stands out for those prioritising Honda reliability and a comparatively affordable top-spec variant in 2026.
