Hello MotoFam, can see lots of comments that we are negative about Elevate. The fact is we have expressed our views how Honda India has missed a great opportunity with the Elevate which would keep their dealers and Honda India cruise effortlessly with the Hybrid market share. They have the best 1.5L Hybrid which is available in the City. The Mid Size SUV segment is a lucrative one which can be cracked only if their is something unique that creates an attention to prospective buyers. Also Honda management has to keep down their ego, come down to the market and sell what the customer needs rather than being adamant on their legacy and values. I'm not opposing your views. Respect your feedbacks and points and let's wait how it performs in the market.
Aptly reflected my thoughts.. They can provide more variants and let people decide based on what features they want in their cars.. Not launching with hybrid option eventhough they have the tech is a big disappointment..
LOL. And it needs to sing lullaby and tell Hinglish jokes and dance if possible. Our car buyer mentality is beyond funny. There is a reason we do not have good choices in cars in india. On one side we have tin cans like the creta and the other, we have unreliable dabbas like the tata/mahindras.
A very honest talk about Elevate. Yesterday when the car was launched, I was specifically waiting for Asir bro's review about the missing hybrid engine. Elevate cannot simple rival Creta/Seltos/Kushaq/Taigun unless they price it competitively. As Asir said, The path in which Honda took is not good for its growth in India.
There are customers for non hybrid vehicles. Cost of hybrid battery replacement will be above 50K. Also lithium is one of the toxic pollutants. Like EV battery, hybrid battery is also one of the major E-waste.
Honda is very adament. They should know that people are ready to buy their products. But it should match the competitor's features atleast. If it atleast had Ventilated seats, Air purifier, 360 degree camera, then people will definitely consider even without Hybrid. Wake up HONDA!!!! Grab the opportunity..😮
No need features diesel or hybrid is needed! Can also offer a turbo petrol as an option, many suv buyers are going for turbo petrols than NA engines nowadays!
360 Camera / Ventilated Seats / Air Purifier, it's just for a show-off; 360 Camera - Without that we can easily park the car with those 3 mirrors and Rear View Camera Ventilated Seats - Lower down your windows, travel few kms and switch on the A/C and roll up the windows Air Purifier - Namma Ooru Pollution kooda thaaku pudikka mudiyaadha enna 🤷♂ Enakku therinja varaikkum theva illadha aani
Creta Base Model 1. 6 Airbag 2. All Disc Brake 3. Rear seat Head Rest 4. 60-40 Rear seat 5. Diesel option Additional - Creta provides the option to upgrade to Top Model Features with 1.5 lakhs (people don't want sunroof options) Elevate nothing can elevate Honda market.... Creta - The Best!!!!
You should check city base variant feature. They pack lot of adiquate features in base variant itself. Hope elevate follows the same. Creta is selling 12k units every months, Honda can't compete but good product to their lineup

After seeing the review... Only one thing I can say for sure… Honda is all about quality, reliability, more than required comfort with absolute safety and sensible features… Just think after purchasing a car with Excess features how many of us will actually use all the features.. But Honda cars driveability lasts for ever… it will be just like a new car even after you use it for 10 years.. it will be standing tall in front of your home to take you for another safe and reliable ride for you and your family… choice is yours… want a reliable car or choosing feature rich cars which will drain both your pockets as well as will compromise on you and your family safety…😊
Hi Hello I am Vijayshankar Excellent and Top class discussion about Honda Elevate and valuable point and I am disappointed with Honda version something I was expected as your team discussed regd hybrid car as elevate
Honda ivtec engine, comfort, reliability speaks/answers for all the critics you mentioned..but what you said is true ..the market is blind towards features now a days..
All companies nowadays have a reliable refined engine spacious Cabin with 6 airbags all disc brake So this alone can’t be a selling option Hence it has become feature driver
12:17 very true😂 They did placed the c3 as hatchback and using the same platform anf engine to 4.3meter suv. Only save is c3 aircross will be only powerful 7 seater at that segment since ertiga, triber are under powered and carens, alcazar is pricey
I have booked this n waiting. City vaanga poitu idhukagah waiting. Yenoda ullah kumurallah appidiye reflect pannirukeenga. 360 cam, ventilated seats iladhadhu varutham dha. BUT, panaromic sunroof ilamah. ADAS ilamah. Oru mid variant irundhu, right priced ah irundha..I will buy it for its refinement, space n comfort. I like the looks
Irundhum i am happy for no hybrid. Every addition of component gives additional failure. As a honda fan they have done good. Instead do more refinement to engine
I don't know why most of the people crying for hybrid. Already there is a hybrid car. The sales volume of it would show their missing of honda hybrid in elevate... I would say if honda can price this version affordable that would be enough rather than a costly so called great mileage hybrid variant...
Should have given Hybrid and Civic 2024 interior, I would have definetly considered in my buying list with the available feature and engine, they should compete with Sub compact SUV's
நீங்க சொல்றது சரிதான் hybrid illa. But cost competitive இருந்தா elevate ok. Hybrid car maruti and the Sameer toyata is available. Who are available the above top 5
Hi team I have heard your first impression on the Elevate was great i am using honda for years considering it 1. Best 1.5 engine smooth can be revved 2. We can talk about features list like missing power seat and ventilator seat and pan roof 360 cam - but consider what they have give is working well enough .good lane watch cam . Will then have good airconditioner it will takel those .what they hava works and useable at all time Consider this and honda reablitity if the price this on aggressive it will thrive in the market I hope Honda will into the hybrid on this since already city ehev have good reviews will can hope for it
@@selvamuthukumaran5016 The problem is it should have launched with hybrid at launch to get a great hype.......and they mentioned only elevate ev after 3 years ..nothing about hybrid variant...
Anna, After seeing your underrated episode of Alcazar, it has been added to many of our buying lists. Please compare the brand's After-sales service as we are seeing lots of complaints about TATA & Mahindra. Are Indian cars not giving better After-sales service?
Whatever the size, but overall exterior looks like Nissan Magnite. My boss in Singapore he used civic and he is always honda fan. I have rided with his civic many times and its suspension is even stiffer than ecosport.
All your points in the discussion are acceptable & valuabe. In many products, high brands are less featured. Low brands are high featured. They have to compete with high brands, only with luxury features. But due to time cycle, low brands become high brands, & high brands will be out of competition & and market, because of changing generation & mind set of the customers. I expect your sincere feedback.
Honda oda Engine, comfort irukatum... They should feature it according to the Trend, oru feature practical perspective La irukanum.... How maruti adopted , & how Seltos created initial impression That's a definite Lag of Honda 😢
@@inpursuitofhappiness366 yes I'm not only admitting it to my own view... But sometimes it'll b an icing on the cake, what if it had some deal breaking point. Already they dropped the Hybrid version for Elevate, coming to the market of mid Suv after decades & showing tat I too poses something is not a concern, might B those who own Honda r enthusiast will opt for a drive, but the idea is to dominate the market with the best in class N/A engine (this alone proves, but only those who knew they'll prefer, but they should attract the mass market to dominate, we can't afford to lose another OG in the market rather than having a post-credit stuffs 😂)
It's just a practical car. It doesn't matter who needs a good car, one that is reliable, fuel-efficient, and offers adequate power for a mid-size SUV. However, due to its small size as an SUV, if a panoramic roof is added, it may compromise structural integrity and raise questions about safety measures. There is no complicated turbo engine, but it provides a good amount of power and smooth refinement with Honda quality, unlike VW and Skoda's new cars. What else do you need? As an Indian, we need to pay 30 to 40% in taxes. Manufacturers have limitations in considering all aspects while producing the car within budget without compromising on quality. Additionally, if we look at the sales volume of hybrid city, it is not good. Moreover, opting for a hybrid may increase the car price and maintenance costs, especially considering the battery pack. Long-term ownership might not be affordable for many, so it's a good thing they haven't included EHV in elevate
Base model in Ex showroom if elevate matches city price then it will sure click Hybrid will be 23+L so that segment is not most selling space But still has to agree Honda never accepts new features
My opinion: Already midsize SUV is already crowded. Since Elivate is based on City, they should designed as coupe SUV with 195mm GC. No competition in coupe suv. It would be a head turner.

Motofam - somehow make Honda executives to see this podcast. I felt this podcast is genuine heartfelt expression(grief)from a Honda lover on how Honda May miss a great opportunity. I cancelled my hyryder booking to wait for Honda SUV. Unless they price competitively it’s going to tough.
Surely Honda missing those ventilated seats,360 camera and mainly missing of hybrid engine. But I contacted dealership they informed me hybrid will be launch after 6 months.
Let's see the pricing and come to conclusion.. i think they are going to still steal some creta buyers by placing the pricing little lower dhan creta and giving more features on basic model itself
Polarised front look No sunroof No hybrid No type c charger No ventilated seats No electric adjustable seat belt No auto hold break Else City in a cross over format Still will do decently if price is set properly and hybrid is introduced soon from the second base atleast Do or die situation for HONDA.
Nice review... I feel all players trying to give all features which we don't need for Indian conditions and show us there product is best, keeping the price point high and making us to move towards there marketing strategy. Citroen C3 crack this strategy hope Honda try the same.
Honda elevate.. Zx higher end 21/5..laks while creta hyndai higher end 24/5 lak.. Our people go behind features.. Not mind about safety adoptive adas level 2 . And engine qulity.... I traveled hinda elivate.. Full comfortable no knee pain..Rs 1000/ petrol 9.88 liter it runs 200 km.. When one two wheller tried cross road it suddenly stopped.. In NH we set 90 km speed and colloution control activated in a half u turn place a lorry in frond of us runs up to 60 km speed. Elvate rudeced it speed to 60.km saved us from hit behind the lorry.. Great . . Engine good qulity .. No feature only safty and comfort and engine quality I prefer elevate
I would avoid Hybrid for now, coz the technicians in service centers are not trained upto the mark yet. Choose Ivtec you wont regret it. Pricing will decide its success or lose on Sep 4th. Eagerly waiting.
you are 100% right I was expecting e-hv equivalent Elevate.. but it is a big disappointment. We are still waiting for 4 cylinder hybrid.... in mid size SUV.... LOL
Nice video and good analysis...Honda is adamant. Everything will be decided by authorities in Japan...Indian Authorities just listen to them, and do as they say...They see Indian customers very cheaply...Best example is, 12-13L cars with no rear seat head rest...Even after customers feedback they didn’t change rather they stopped manufacturing cars itself…When common man can study market so well cant Honda study?...They know the customer requirement very well but yet they don’t care Indian customers…Very adamant…There concept is I will see like this only and people should buy like this only…Same thing is with 2 wheeler market also…They r happy to get generations of Activa but they are not ready to get CBR series to India…Honda will surely follow Ford’s way in India…
Hello Aasir Sir.. I hv just checked with Ambatr Olympia showroom.. The salesperson said, obviously it will be priced somewhere from 20L plus.. It was too early for him to even detail on variants..
நீங்க Honda elevate யை அதனோட competitors Hyundai creta, KIA seltos கூட கம்பேர் பன்னுங்க.... அதை விட்டு நாங்க அதை எதிர்பார்த்தோம் இதை எதிர்பார்த்தோம் ஆனா அது இல்லை னு நெகட்டிவா உருட்ட வேண்டாம்.....
Honda Elevate is big disappointment for me as I was expecting full spec with 360 degree camera, ventilated seats, Panoramic sun roof, full digital infotainment, power seat adjustment, Strong Hybrid and no much variant in engine(turbo option) spec too. . So planned to move towards MG Astor/Hector or Kia Seltos 2023 facelift or Hyndai Creta 2023 facelift.
Have you discussed the ground clearance 220m which is a plus for this segment of our road conditions and water logging.. compared to Creta or seltos is less
BTW, personally I didn’t like design and I believe their last generation products are awesome in all aspects. I love Virtus from VW in all aspects! This is the only sedan I would like to own after Honda civic, Škoda Lura!
@motowagon. Elevate will crack the petrol lovers. Since compared to maruthi/skoda twin, seltos and creta petrol engine, Honda ivtec is a step ahead, so elevate will pick from others petrol suv and also it will increase its own no Hybrid. They should include it soon, AND GOOD MARKETING IS REQUIRED
I think this car with its features is 5 years late. If this car with the same feature list it has now if launched 5 years back may have had a good impact. But now when other brands are jumping to next level Honda has just arrived with these features. It is a bummer. I was definitely expecting a Hybrid engine and ventilated seats... That would have made sense. And to make it better a better infotainment system and a 360 degree camera would have established the car in the right portfolio. Maybe people would have bought the hybrid in SUV and after enjoying the engine might have improved the sales for Honda City as well through word of mouth about the quality of the engine and technology for sedan buyers....
lets say if e:HEV is launched in elevate, it will be around 24l on road, then also people will still ask y no air purifier, no panoramic, no ventilated seats? y spend 24laks for this? but fact is e:HEV is far superior and proven product in south east asian markets.. if this market is purely based on features then this will fail or it will sell in some decent numbers.. instead of e:HEV debate, Honda could have bought their 1l turbo engines.. which would have been a refreshing and welcoming change and can be used for sub4m cars like bringing back WRV with 1l turbo.. that will be purely game changer in performance point of view.
I was waiting for this podcast. I was really excited about Elevate as a product from Honda. But my expectations were crushed when I saw the product in its flesh. I saw few people talk about Honda missing a turbo petrol engine in its Elevate lineup but I don't see turbo engines doing much nunbers in this segment. Another complaint is that Honda's ivtec NA not having real power/torque figures (atleast in paper). But comparing the NA from other manufacturers, the numbers are relatively better stacked up in favour of Honda. Its about how you have tuned the engine. The only place where I see Honda is falling short is a hybrid powertrain. To sum up there is nothing special about Elevate that would pull me closer to it. Maybe a missed opportunity.
Creta most selling varients is E and Ex so I would say if elevate is able to match that price give must features under 15 lakhs for petrol, then they will easily sell and for people who want a alternative to creta seltos and grand vitara or hyryder, and as for not giving hybrid I think they want to play safe and maybe they don't want to compete with the top end diesels as of now, because a 1.5 diesel can be compared to hybrid in torque and performance, maybe they would have thought it might not be priced competitive with features, they might wait and introduce
Rightly Said!! Very Expected Features like Hybrid Variant, 360 degree Camera, Ventilated Seats were not provided!! I dont think Top Variant will sell much in number. Maybe because of that 1.5 IVTech Engine, people might buy mid variant!
Asir bro, I agree with you that Seltos and Hyundai are more advance w.r.t features and looks perspective. However Players like Honda, Renault & Nissan are few more manufacturers couldn’t build competitive products due to only poor planning and design engineering or Hyundai, Kia and Maruti enjoys any special privileges in India as they have strong base and government support with lot of subsidiaries. I guess this calls for a deeper SWAT analysis.
Automakers are hamstrung by supply constraints. Automakers such as BYD and Citroen have been working for more than 7 years to secure suppliers to bypass compliance and regulatory burdens and suffer volume pressure. They have controlled costs but will take them time to spur volume. It's understandable that buyers are frustrated about manufacturers omitting or doing away with expectations. But a simple dimension change would warrant a complete change in jigs and fixes at the supplier's plant and the only way is to procure from global suppliers and say what they are cheaper. Here comes the Basic Duty that is charged at 7 - 10 percent to level up with local suppliers, further increasing costs. So automakers when deciding to make a car entirely from scratch for a local market are forced to bargain and scramble for parts locally. And there aren't enough local parts manufacturers that will make whatever you want. The government and the consumers must first take the heel of their necks, relax norms, relax regulatory burdens, and layers of compliance making it difficult for manufacturers to give what y'all need. Now you may ask how legacy players like Suzuki, and Hyundai despite being international brands scoop out newer cars like a piece of cake. They had the first-mover advantage, and 3 decades of presence have given them their own sweet time to secure vendors. Major vendors such as Rane, ZF, SL Lumax plants adjacent or nearer to their plants, most of them made exclusively for them Protectionism is killing business common sense. TATAs and Mahindra were though by many they'd die in a liberalized market but survived and thrived to the point they pip their interactional counterparts in sales and features and even performance.
Elevate not having rear armrest in mid variants. Only top variant having rear armrest. But creta, seltos, taigun in others having other small essential features for lesser price than elevate
Eventhough they have a refined 1.5 l N A engine, They would have give a turbo petrol engine for those who look for performance, to give a tough competition among other competitors VW group, Hyundai group,
@ MOTOWAGON team, good topic for discussion. You were not able to participate in the launch event? HONDA needs to pick clues from Suzuki, see how they have transformed their product line in terms of features, engine specs, product line-up. I have no doubt Honda Elevate will be an Engineering Marvel, couple of features like ventilated seats, electronic adjustable seats and of course a hybrid could have changed the game. I am hopeful Hybrid will be launched soon. Another area HONDA needs to work is service centers and service costs
let's see the pricing, if the start at 10L end at 15 L still some decent volumes can be made , ventilated seats , panoramic sunroof etc are just a luxury not everyone needs it for an extra few lakhs.
So disheartening to see this kind of criticism from Motowagon. Just like the looks are subjective and personal preference , features also varies as per individual. What if i am just looking for a petrol engine why would i be upset about not having Hybrid engine option ? Elevate is still a decent car with required features. If the price is competitive with Creta , it will still be a hit in long run
You are misunderstanding their pov. He is telling that like hyryder if they ve launched with hybrid as a variant it would generate even more interest. Look at maruti when they launched 360 camera in all their nexa models after Baleno and many liked that. And people who are willing to spend 15+L will not mind the cost of hybrid batteries
Me personally was also looking for hybrid as there is no diesel from Honda. It's a very sincere disappointment that's been emoted by motowagon ppl! Also esp with features like ventilated seats being deliberately missed to a product which is going to be above 15l bracket is not a simple thing
All I am saying is give it a chance .. why so much negativity around this ? I have seen another vlogger also writing this off already. And you cannot be comparing apples and oranges. It sounds so biased to say something like this. I accept that Honda is trying to play safe but cannot demean a product even before it sees the light . And also features and engine options are personal preference, that doesn’t make it a bad product . If it priced accordingly would bring interest in the market.
Hi Motowagon Team, I am moved to US.. i decided to buy Honda CRV sport hybrid at cost of 37500$ is it worth to buy CR V or go with toyota R AV4 limited premium both cars are equal price.
Yes this is copy of all cars MG grill, kicks allows, seltas rear, Taigun rear view. Underrated car elevate bcs no ventilated seats 💺 cooled glove box 📦 and some unique features.... seriously Honda elevate underrated car
Bro.. out of everything if Hybrid is being hi-lighted as missing feature then Honda already told that they will start it after 3 years. It will be a plugin hybrid not a normal hybrid. But on a side note people just talk about features which they may not even use to fullest. They just demand features without a practical usable knowledge. Leaving VW/Skoda, Only Honda offers quality in every aspect.
Hello MotoFam, can see lots of comments that we are negative about Elevate. The fact is we have expressed our views how Honda India has missed a great opportunity with the Elevate which would keep their dealers and Honda India cruise effortlessly with the Hybrid market share. They have the best 1.5L Hybrid which is available in the City.
The Mid Size SUV segment is a lucrative one which can be cracked only if their is something unique that creates an attention to prospective buyers.
Also Honda management has to keep down their ego, come down to the market and sell what the customer needs rather than being adamant on their legacy and values.
I'm not opposing your views. Respect your feedbacks and points and let's wait how it performs in the market.
Aptly reflected my thoughts.. They can provide more variants and let people decide based on what features they want in their cars.. Not launching with hybrid option eventhough they have the tech is a big disappointment..
Agree, thats ok if some specs are not up to satisfied to its rivals, but if price might be 11 to 17 lakhs ex showroom will be a decent price.
Swift response from Azir bro
Yes brother
I m agreed with your openion. As a Honda customer I am also disappointed with the product I have 4 gen city. I am purely waiting for hybrid suv.
Most car adding many Morden features which are less practical use and add more cost on the vehicle purchase. I think honda has not done that...
Truee
Yes, that's true.. there are no such unpractical features provided. But they will still charge u more than their competitors with those features.
Agree..But people nowadays started focusing on features rather than what they required for their practical use.

Elevate cannot simple rival Creta/Seltos/Kushaq/Taigun unless they price it competitively. As Asir said, The path in which Honda took is not good for its growth in India.
There are customers for non hybrid vehicles. Cost of hybrid battery replacement will be above 50K. Also lithium is one of the toxic pollutants. Like EV battery, hybrid battery is also one of the major E-waste.
Very true, we're talking about how to pull more crowds into Honda showrooms
Ac vents are pretty normal even in top end, seems like brought from alto , Creta base model vents are damm good
Creta fancy toy
Honda is very adament. They should know that people are ready to buy their products. But it should match the competitor's features atleast. If it atleast had Ventilated seats, Air purifier, 360 degree camera, then people will definitely consider even without Hybrid. Wake up HONDA!!!! Grab the opportunity..😮
People would buy Honda for Hybrid not for those gimmicks and features
@@arv1ndgr yes. Other features are just a show man.
No need features diesel or hybrid is needed! Can also offer a turbo petrol as an option, many suv buyers are going for turbo petrols than NA engines nowadays!

Hi Hello I am Vijayshankar Excellent and Top class discussion about Honda Elevate and valuable point and I am disappointed with Honda version something I was expected as your team discussed regd hybrid car as elevate
Honda ivtec engine, comfort, reliability speaks/answers for all the critics you mentioned..but what you said is true ..the market is blind towards features now a days..
All companies nowadays have a reliable refined engine spacious Cabin with 6 airbags all disc brake
So this alone can’t be a selling option
Hence it has become feature driver
@@vigneshrheumatologist2751 yes
12:17 very true😂 They did placed the c3 as hatchback and using the same platform anf engine to 4.3meter suv. Only save is c3 aircross will be only powerful 7 seater at that segment since ertiga, triber are under powered and carens, alcazar is pricey
I have booked this n waiting. City vaanga poitu idhukagah waiting. Yenoda ullah kumurallah appidiye reflect pannirukeenga.
360 cam, ventilated seats iladhadhu varutham dha. BUT, panaromic sunroof ilamah. ADAS ilamah. Oru mid variant irundhu, right priced ah irundha..I will buy it for its refinement, space n comfort. I like the looks
Nice words... Thirumba etha poi nama underrated cars la pesuvom...!
Irundhum i am happy for no hybrid. Every addition of component gives additional failure. As a honda fan they have done good. Instead do more refinement to engine
I don't know why most of the people crying for hybrid. Already there is a hybrid car. The sales volume of it would show their missing of honda hybrid in elevate... I would say if honda can price this version affordable that would be enough rather than a costly so called great mileage hybrid variant...
Because honda doesnt have a diesel
Should have given Hybrid and Civic 2024 interior, I would have definetly considered in my buying list with the available feature and engine, they should compete with Sub compact SUV's
நீங்க சொல்றது சரிதான் hybrid illa. But cost competitive இருந்தா elevate ok. Hybrid car maruti and the Sameer toyata is available. Who are available the above top 5
Hi team
I have heard your first impression on the Elevate was great i am using honda for years considering it
1. Best 1.5 engine smooth can be revved
2. We can talk about features list like missing power seat and ventilator seat and pan roof 360 cam - but consider what they have give is working well enough .good lane watch cam . Will then have good airconditioner it will takel those .what they hava works and useable at all time
Consider this and honda reablitity if the price this on aggressive it will thrive in the market
I hope Honda will into the hybrid on this since already city ehev have good reviews will can hope for it
Thanks for clarifying that 8 seater Innova can be registered for private users.❤
I was about to ask this question to MW team
I was about to book Elevate but when I came to know it doesn't have Hybrid, I quit.
Later , they will bring hybrid
Might be they will unveil at the time of launch
But definitely hybrid will come
@@selvamuthukumaran5016 The problem is it should have launched with hybrid at launch to get a great hype.......and they mentioned only elevate ev after 3 years ..nothing about hybrid variant...
Hybrid may be an upgrade....
The problem is hybrid will be 2-3 lacs more than grand vitara hybrid . Look at the price difference with normal city and City EHEV
These ppl conversation might be in negative shaded
Anna, After seeing your underrated episode of Alcazar, it has been added to many of our buying lists.
Please compare the brand's After-sales service as we are seeing lots of complaints about TATA & Mahindra. Are Indian cars not giving better After-sales service?
Whatever the size, but overall exterior looks like Nissan Magnite. My boss in Singapore he used civic and he is always honda fan. I have rided with his civic many times and its suspension is even stiffer than ecosport.
All your points in the discussion are acceptable & valuabe. In many products, high brands are less featured. Low brands are high featured. They have to compete with high brands, only with luxury features. But due to time cycle, low brands become high brands, & high brands will be out of competition & and market, because of changing generation & mind set of the customers. I expect your sincere feedback.
For my kind of persons
Car without performance is nothing irrespective of any features
Honda oda Engine, comfort irukatum... They should feature it according to the Trend, oru feature practical perspective La irukanum....
How maruti adopted , & how Seltos created initial impression
That's a definite Lag of Honda 😢
@@inpursuitofhappiness366 yes I'm not only admitting it to my own view...
But sometimes it'll b an icing on the cake, what if it had some deal breaking point.
Already they dropped the Hybrid version for Elevate, coming to the market of mid Suv after decades & showing tat I too poses something is not a concern, might B those who own Honda r enthusiast will opt for a drive, but the idea is to dominate the market with the best in class N/A engine (this alone proves, but only those who knew they'll prefer, but they should attract the mass market to dominate, we can't afford to lose another OG in the market rather than having a post-credit stuffs 😂)
It's just a practical car. It doesn't matter who needs a good car, one that is reliable, fuel-efficient, and offers adequate power for a mid-size SUV. However, due to its small size as an SUV, if a panoramic roof is added, it may compromise structural integrity and raise questions about safety measures. There is no complicated turbo engine, but it provides a good amount of power and smooth refinement with Honda quality, unlike VW and Skoda's new cars. What else do you need? As an Indian, we need to pay 30 to 40% in taxes. Manufacturers have limitations in considering all aspects while producing the car within budget without compromising on quality. Additionally, if we look at the sales volume of hybrid city, it is not good. Moreover, opting for a hybrid may increase the car price and maintenance costs, especially considering the battery pack. Long-term ownership might not be affordable for many, so it's a good thing they haven't included EHV in elevate
Agreed
Base model in Ex showroom if elevate matches city price then it will sure click
Hybrid will be 23+L so that segment is not most selling space
But still has to agree Honda never accepts new features
Honda elevate has best ride ,engine,safety features and seating . Not only ventilate seat decide car sales if price is compatative most will buy.
My opinion:
Already midsize SUV is already crowded.
Since Elivate is based on City, they should designed as coupe SUV with 195mm GC.
No competition in coupe suv.
It would be a head turner.

Motofam - somehow make Honda executives to see this podcast. I felt this podcast is genuine heartfelt expression(grief)from a Honda lover on how Honda May miss a great opportunity.
I cancelled my hyryder booking to wait for Honda SUV. Unless they price competitively it’s going to tough.
Surely Honda missing those ventilated seats,360 camera and mainly missing of hybrid engine. But I contacted dealership they informed me hybrid will be launch after 6 months.
Honda Elevate Hybrid is definitely on the cards as they have announced it will come later on.
I think sales have not reached the mark. Ex ehev
@@saravanang2919 yeah Thats true. Honda’s Ehev is slightly overpriced.
Let's see the pricing and come to conclusion.. i think they are going to still steal some creta buyers by placing the pricing little lower dhan creta and giving more features on basic model itself
Definitely Honda will add hybrid after seeing response for the regular engine 😊
Interesting podcast, pretty decent discussion about cars in Indian market
Asir bro is expressing on behalf of all HONDA fanboys who were expecting so much from them.🥲 #HappyforSuvbutnotsatisfied
Polarised front look
No sunroof
No hybrid
No type c charger
No ventilated seats
No electric adjustable seat belt
No auto hold break
Else
City in a cross over format
Still will do decently if price is set properly and hybrid is introduced soon from the second base atleast
Do or die situation for HONDA.
#நேர்மையான motofam 💚
Happy with Honda elevate but price should be an concern..
Honda has good reliability and quality whereas hyundai or maruti
Nice review... I feel all players trying to give all features which we don't need for Indian conditions and show us there product is best, keeping the price point high and making us to move towards there marketing strategy. Citroen C3 crack this strategy hope Honda try the same.
Which model to buy for Hyundai Creta ? And petrol or Diesel which one to pick
Your reviews 💯 correct about current trends
People are expecting more... Honda Elevate is
disappointed modern customers no doubts
Please continue with the same flow🙂🙏We know that its not scripted!!!
Honda elevate.. Zx higher end 21/5..laks while creta hyndai higher end 24/5 lak.. Our people go behind features.. Not mind about safety adoptive adas level 2 . And engine qulity.... I traveled hinda elivate.. Full comfortable no knee pain..Rs 1000/ petrol 9.88 liter it runs 200 km.. When one two wheller tried cross road it suddenly stopped.. In NH we set 90 km speed and colloution control activated in a half u turn place a lorry in frond of us runs up to 60 km speed. Elvate rudeced it speed to 60.km saved us from hit behind the lorry.. Great . . Engine good qulity .. No feature only safty and comfort and engine quality I prefer elevate
Had high hopes. When they don’t reveal the price then they are not confident about the product.
Got it
Its just an unveil
Happened with most of the latest cars...VW ,skoda,MS,etc
Maruti disclosed the pricing of Jimny after months. That’s the way the auto industry works.
Really this is the good discussion of car buyers……
Nice job……❤
Subscriber la pudikala aana Nan நேர்மையான motofam 😂
I would avoid Hybrid for now, coz the technicians in service centers are not trained upto the mark yet. Choose Ivtec you wont regret it. Pricing will decide its success or lose on Sep 4th. Eagerly waiting.
you are 100% right I was expecting e-hv equivalent Elevate.. but it is a big disappointment. We are still waiting for 4 cylinder hybrid.... in mid size SUV.... LOL
Nice video and good analysis...Honda is adamant. Everything will be decided by authorities in Japan...Indian Authorities just listen to them, and do as they say...They see Indian customers very cheaply...Best example is, 12-13L cars with no rear seat head rest...Even after customers feedback they didn’t change rather they stopped manufacturing cars itself…When common man can study market so well cant Honda study?...They know the customer requirement very well but yet they don’t care Indian customers…Very adamant…There concept is I will see like this only and people should buy like this only…Same thing is with 2 wheeler market also…They r happy to get generations of Activa but they are not ready to get CBR series to India…Honda will surely follow Ford’s way in India…
Hello Aasir Sir.. I hv just checked with Ambatr Olympia showroom.. The salesperson said, obviously it will be priced somewhere from 20L plus.. It was too early for him to even detail on variants..
Can i buy alcazar petrol dct or wait for seltos face lift.
❤
I've been waiting for this discussion since yesterday after launch...
நீங்க Honda elevate யை அதனோட competitors Hyundai creta, KIA seltos கூட கம்பேர் பன்னுங்க....
அதை விட்டு நாங்க அதை எதிர்பார்த்தோம் இதை எதிர்பார்த்தோம் ஆனா அது இல்லை னு நெகட்டிவா உருட்ட வேண்டாம்.....
Honda Elevate is big disappointment for me as I was expecting full spec with 360 degree camera, ventilated seats, Panoramic sun roof, full digital infotainment, power seat adjustment, Strong Hybrid and no much variant in engine(turbo option) spec too. . So planned to move towards MG Astor/Hector or Kia Seltos 2023 facelift or Hyndai Creta 2023 facelift.
For me Honda elevate front portion looks like honda pilot in honda canada
One off the best & safety car in indian road Honda 💪👍
Have you discussed the ground clearance 220m which is a plus for this segment of our road conditions and water logging.. compared to Creta or seltos is less
BTW, personally I didn’t like design and I believe their last generation products are awesome in all aspects. I love Virtus from VW in all aspects! This is the only sedan I would like to own after Honda civic, Škoda Lura!
18:07 mind voice ah catch pannitinge sir😂😅
@motowagon. Elevate will crack the petrol lovers.
Since compared to maruthi/skoda twin, seltos and creta petrol engine, Honda ivtec is a step ahead, so elevate will pick from others petrol suv and also it will increase its own no
Hybrid. They should include it soon, AND GOOD MARKETING IS REQUIRED
I think this car with its features is 5 years late. If this car with the same feature list it has now if launched 5 years back may have had a good impact. But now when other brands are jumping to next level Honda has just arrived with these features. It is a bummer. I was definitely expecting a Hybrid engine and ventilated seats... That would have made sense. And to make it better a better infotainment system and a 360 degree camera would have established the car in the right portfolio. Maybe people would have bought the hybrid in SUV and after enjoying the engine might have improved the sales for Honda City as well through word of mouth about the quality of the engine and technology for sedan buyers....
lets say if e:HEV is launched in elevate, it will be around 24l on road, then also people will still ask y no air purifier, no panoramic, no ventilated seats? y spend 24laks for this? but fact is e:HEV is far superior and proven product in south east asian markets.. if this market is purely based on features then this will fail or it will sell in some decent numbers.. instead of e:HEV debate, Honda could have bought their 1l turbo engines.. which would have been a refreshing and welcoming change and can be used for sub4m cars like bringing back WRV with 1l turbo.. that will be purely game changer in performance point of view.
When can we expect the creta facelift unveil? Any ideas?
I was waiting for this podcast. I was really excited about Elevate as a product from Honda. But my expectations were crushed when I saw the product in its flesh.
I saw few people talk about Honda missing a turbo petrol engine in its Elevate lineup but I don't see turbo engines doing much nunbers in this segment.
Another complaint is that Honda's ivtec NA not having real power/torque figures (atleast in paper). But comparing the NA from other manufacturers, the numbers are relatively better stacked up in favour of Honda. Its about how you have tuned the engine.
The only place where I see Honda is falling short is a hybrid powertrain.
To sum up there is nothing special about Elevate that would pull me closer to it. Maybe a missed opportunity.
Creta most selling varients is E and Ex so I would say if elevate is able to match that price give must features under 15 lakhs for petrol, then they will easily sell and for people who want a alternative to creta seltos and grand vitara or hyryder, and as for not giving hybrid I think they want to play safe and maybe they don't want to compete with the top end diesels as of now, because a 1.5 diesel can be compared to hybrid in torque and performance, maybe they would have thought it might not be priced competitive with features, they might wait and introduce
Bro tata prima 3530 tipper review pannunga
Please pannunga
Rightly Said!! Very Expected Features like Hybrid Variant, 360 degree Camera, Ventilated Seats were not provided!!
I dont think Top Variant will sell much in number. Maybe because of that 1.5 IVTech Engine, people might buy mid variant!
Maruti has announced Jimny prices. Is it worth buying for the price for urban use? Feel it is not worth the price.
Definitely not
Asir bro, I agree with you that Seltos and Hyundai are more advance w.r.t features and looks perspective. However Players like Honda, Renault & Nissan are few more manufacturers couldn’t build competitive products due to only poor planning and design engineering or Hyundai, Kia and Maruti enjoys any special privileges in India as they have strong base and government support with lot of subsidiaries. I guess this calls for a deeper SWAT analysis.
SWOT analysis
Automakers are hamstrung by supply constraints. Automakers such as BYD and Citroen have been working for more than 7 years to secure suppliers to bypass compliance and regulatory burdens and suffer volume pressure. They have controlled costs but will take them time to spur volume.
It's understandable that buyers are frustrated about manufacturers omitting or doing away with expectations. But a simple dimension change would warrant a complete change in jigs and fixes at the supplier's plant and the only way is to procure from global suppliers and say what they are cheaper. Here comes the Basic Duty that is charged at 7 - 10 percent to level up with local suppliers, further increasing costs. So automakers when deciding to make a car entirely from scratch for a local market are forced to bargain and scramble for parts locally. And there aren't enough local parts manufacturers that will make whatever you want.
The government and the consumers must first take the heel of their necks, relax norms, relax regulatory burdens, and layers of compliance making it difficult for manufacturers to give what y'all need.
Now you may ask how legacy players like Suzuki, and Hyundai despite being international brands scoop out newer cars like a piece of cake. They had the first-mover advantage, and 3 decades of presence have given them their own sweet time to secure vendors. Major vendors such as Rane, ZF, SL Lumax plants adjacent or nearer to their plants, most of them made exclusively for them
Protectionism is killing business common sense. TATAs and Mahindra were though by many they'd die in a liberalized market but survived and thrived to the point they pip their interactional counterparts in sales and features and even performance.
Elevate not having rear armrest in mid variants. Only top variant having rear armrest. But creta, seltos, taigun in others having other small essential features for lesser price than elevate
Eventhough they have a refined 1.5 l N A engine, They would have give a turbo petrol engine for those who look for performance, to give a tough competition among other competitors VW group, Hyundai group,
Very good analysis Future no focus Honda car industry
Why no manufacturer considering Plug-In Hybrid for India ? That would make sense with range anxiety
@ MOTOWAGON team, good topic for discussion. You were not able to participate in the launch event?
HONDA needs to pick clues from Suzuki, see how they have transformed their product line in terms of features, engine specs, product line-up. I have no doubt Honda Elevate will be an Engineering Marvel, couple of features like ventilated seats, electronic adjustable seats and of course a hybrid could have changed the game. I am hopeful Hybrid will be launched soon. Another area HONDA needs to work is service centers and service costs
Anyone who has fear for life will never buy Maruti. Horrible product and never even go near them.
In terms of safety Maruti has improved a lot, say Breeza, New Baleno, Vitara are safe products
I am still satisfied with Elevate. Only thing is if it is priced from 12 lakhs like city then forget the sales volume.
Vaipay illa . Sedan ah vida SUV type rate over an tha irukum bro .
let's see the pricing, if the start at 10L end at 15 L still some decent volumes can be made , ventilated seats , panoramic sunroof etc are just a luxury not everyone needs it for an extra few lakhs.
Excellent analysis. Honest opinion too. Keep it up.
Only selling point of Honda is their reliable engine, stability, steering feedback n build quality.
So disheartening to see this kind of criticism from Motowagon. Just like the looks are subjective and personal preference , features also varies as per individual. What if i am just looking for a petrol engine why would i be upset about not having Hybrid engine option ? Elevate is still a decent car with required features. If the price is competitive with Creta , it will still be a hit in long run
They will correct it when they get a car from a showroom for it's review...😂
I think people are looking only hybrids what motowag saying. But honda done a wrong thing. Disappointed with motowagan.
You are misunderstanding their pov. He is telling that like hyryder if they ve launched with hybrid as a variant it would generate even more interest. Look at maruti when they launched 360 camera in all their nexa models after Baleno and many liked that. And people who are willing to spend 15+L will not mind the cost of hybrid batteries
Me personally was also looking for hybrid as there is no diesel from Honda. It's a very sincere disappointment that's been emoted by motowagon ppl! Also esp with features like ventilated seats being deliberately missed to a product which is going to be above 15l bracket is not a simple thing
All I am saying is give it a chance .. why so much negativity around this ? I have seen another vlogger also writing this off already. And you cannot be comparing apples and oranges. It sounds so biased to say something like this. I accept that Honda is trying to play safe but cannot demean a product even before it sees the light . And also features and engine options are personal preference, that doesn’t make it a bad product . If it priced accordingly would bring interest in the market.
i loved the next gen tripod used.
Should have given hybrid because it's related to mileage n saves money.
Bro younga kitta money iruintha next car enna vanguvinga 🎉 please reply
Elevate vs C3 aircross? Which is best
Hi Motowagon Team, I am moved to US.. i decided to buy Honda CRV sport hybrid at cost of 37500$ is it worth to buy CR
V or go with toyota R
AV4 limited premium both cars are equal price.
Yes this is copy of all cars
MG grill, kicks allows, seltas rear, Taigun rear view. Underrated car elevate bcs no ventilated seats 💺 cooled glove box 📦 and some unique features.... seriously Honda elevate underrated car
Beautiful coverage
Nobody addresses the back seat middle hump. Causes discomfort.... Elevate
Nice team work sir
Honda already has 1 year back log orders for ehev.. So I don't think its feasible for them to launch another hybrid i guess
Do they have Hybrid in any of their "Run about" vehicle ?
As per me Honda Elevate would have a better market. Honda is always unique.
Great analysis 🎉
Bro.. out of everything if Hybrid is being hi-lighted as missing feature then Honda already told that they will start it after 3 years. It will be a plugin hybrid not a normal hybrid. But on a side note people just talk about features which they may not even use to fullest. They just demand features without a practical usable knowledge. Leaving VW/Skoda, Only Honda offers quality in every aspect.
Motowagon, please make a Elevate vs jazz comparison
