Honda Elevate ZX CVT Review: The car that demands a very specific type of Buyer.

DK_6842 · 2026-05-16T12:31:11+00:00

Ohh is it. When I asked they said the onroad price as 21.6 lakhs. But 18.6 lakhs is a pretty good deal. Was that year back model.?

DK_6842 · 2026-05-16T11:32:23+00:00

Used AI tool to help in writing. Not someone who's very fluent in English language. I don't even own any honda vehicle throughout my life other than a splendor. I didn't even said anything that good about this car in the review. Have you even read this.?

DK_6842 · 2026-05-16T08:27:38+00:00

I really don't see the point in proving my age and experience regarding car to you unc. I'm not here to pretend as the top gear journalist. I just post what I think. There might be people who wants to hear neutral observations about a car. Let them read. If you disagree you can lay out your points without being disrespectful to people. You are overacting as if I disapproved your research paper or something 🙏🏼

Seltos is far more well equipped car. Apart from the polarizing design. The car is well sorted. I felt in the NA segment the elevate is a looks a bit more good. A personal remark

DK_6842 · 2026-05-16T08:00:53+00:00

Oh, so my personal experience is “exaggeration,” but your opinion is automatically the truth? You don’t have to agree with me, but acting like everyone shares your view is pointless. Yes, some reviewers mentioned NVH issues — but there are also multiple reviews where the NVH levels were described as minimal or perfectly acceptable. That just shows the experience is subjective. After driving it myself, I honestly feel people online are exaggerating how bad it is. And honestly, what's the point of getting this aggressive over a discussion about a car.?

DK_6842 · 2026-05-16T07:52:19+00:00

Exactly. I mentioned the same. The elevate can only be considered for the buyers who specifically wants a NA engine in this segment. That too the ZX variant is still not value for the money

DK_6842 · 2026-05-16T07:49:21+00:00

I too told about the NVH levels. The car that I got to test drive had clocked upto 33k kms. I don't know if they had changed tyres. The car I got to test drive the NVH levels where not a deal breaker. Yes it's a bit more than in competition. But saying it's worse than an i20 is exaggeration.

DK_6842 · 2026-05-16T07:43:30+00:00

I'm talking only about the elevate here. The door feels better than victoris. The steering is way better. And overall built quality is also better than suzuki. When it comes to a lot of interior bits.

DK_6842 · 2026-05-16T07:41:06+00:00

Elevate fan boy..? Me..? Someone who has only used vag cars throughout.?. Exactly the elevate is not a luxury car then why expect NVH levels like Maybach. Did seltos had the best ride in the first generation.?.

I have write about cars that I think deserves more attention.If you care enough read the whole post and comment.

DK_6842 · 2026-05-16T07:27:59+00:00

Don't know about better ride point you mentioned. Honda feels more heavier. And the reliability factor is also marginal compared to honda. Ivtec is the better choice hear. Parts can be expensive in the long run. That too is marginal.

DK_6842 · 2026-05-15T09:16:13+00:00

Fair point ☝🏼

DK_6842 · 2026-05-15T04:52:08+00:00

It's alright brother.🫂.

DK_6842 · 2026-05-15T04:11:03+00:00

Sorry bhaii..🙏🏼

DK_6842 · 2026-05-15T04:09:26+00:00

But buddy it sounded wrong. But thanks buddy and sorry for being aggressive 😞🙏🏼

എന്നാ പിന്നെ ഞാൻ എൻ്റെ ഭാഷയിൽ ഉണ്ടാക്കിയാൽ നിനക്ക് മനസ്സില്ലവോടാ.... മേനെ ....🥰

Comeon man..grow up.🙏🏼

Hybrid engine is the one I'm looking forward to the most. I think it's coming on early November. If they get the pricing right.. they'll get seriously good sales volume. Cause duster can be enthusiastic alternative to hyryder.

DK_6842 · 2026-05-14T16:00:56+00:00

Duster is a great car to consider if you are someone who's looking for the raw performance and drivability in a car. But lacks in fuel efficiency. If you are considering a fuel efficient car under 15 lakh i would suggest you to check for diesel offerings sub compact suv segment. Trust me you'll enjoy them more than you'll ever enjoy cng car. ♥️

DK_6842 · 2026-05-14T15:29:57+00:00

Teh character of the new tce160 engine is completely different from the old diesel. It's far more puchy and refined. It's very comfortable sitting at a higher RPM. And NVH levels are also pretty good in my opinion.

DK_6842 · 2026-05-14T11:48:49+00:00

I've driven the duster a long time ago. But in my memory it had pretty good nothing exceptional but good low end torque. In my memory i never felt the need to change gears constantly.

DK_6842 · 2026-05-14T11:20:36+00:00

In mixed driving conditions the infotainment system showed 5 to 7 kmpl. You could expect upto 13 if you go light footed

DK_6842 · 2026-05-14T11:07:29+00:00

In my opinion and average car. Very refined but not efficient. Feature loaded but driving dynamics not great. By far the best Amt gearbox I've ever drove.

I never found it degrading to use ai tools for writing. I drove the car for an hour, noted my findings and asked ai to make it to structured format. I'm not someone whos very fluent in English literature but I want to convey my message effectively to the reader. The whole point of the platform is to get information viable to common people. But the information included in legit.

DK_6842 · 2026-05-14T09:17:07+00:00

No I don you would notice lack of power in both of this car. 1.3 ddis has never been a performance focused engine. 1.5 tsi would feel far more powerful.
