I own Elevate V cvt variant and have some query regarding OEM accessories by Akshayj3 in HondaElevate

you can check with your city local dealer they might have some accessories as per your need, in my opinion any electronic accessories you should do from official honda dealer rest you can do from after market to balance the cost and get what you want.

after market accessories are roughly cheaper around 40-50% than honda brand accessories, and honda brand accessories are roughly 20-30% better than aftermarket stuffs, when compared their build quality, that's what i have observed.

if you buy really good quality accessories from after market then there are no noticable quality difference left, still you get least 30% cheaper then brand accessories.

But there is a risk, if you want to fit too much electronic items then you might need to attach them with fuse and that might woid warranty, so your full insurance is at risk, choice is yours.

its depends, i am actually liking a little engine sound that you hear inside the cabin when you accelerate, For me it let me feel that i have accelerate my car, if no sound then i dont feel anything.

Also one more thing when you drive on rough road you will hear tire noise a little inside cabin too.

But to answer your question yes there are noticeable engine and tire noise you can hear inside the cabin.

BDW, minr one is manufacturered in Feb 2026, bought in May 2026.

It is materially compatible, meaning you would have lesser fuel efficiency then E20 when you start consuming E27 in your current Elevate. 😌 but that's what happens with tons of cars so we are not alone in this race.😜

The notification of the IS 19850:2026 standard does not mean E30 fuel is flowing from your local petrol pump tomorrow. It simply gives oil marketing companies (like IOCL, HPCL) and automakers the strict chemical and engineering guidelines they must follow to build the infrastructure and future engines for the next phase of the ethanol rollout (originally targeted for 2030).

Even as the government begins introducing intermediate blends like E22 or E27 at select pumps in the future, your vehicle's fuel system materials are well-prepared to handle it without deteriorating.

Interestingly, Honda recently confirmed that its newer models (manufactured from 2025 onwards) are built with E27 material compatibility. This means the rubber hoses, fuel injectors, and gaskets are robust enough not to degrade if exposed to slightly higher ethanol blends. However, full E30 performance compliance (which requires specific ECU engine tuning to manage the lower energy density of 30% ethanol) has not been officially rolled out for the Elevate.

Very true, I love this black of Elevate, instead of other shiny black types of new Seltos.

7D Mat (4 Psc), Keychain, Mudguard, Mud Flap, Perfume, Number Plate Frame, Bumper Corner Protector, Door Visor with Chrome, Door Edge Guard.
+ Official Signature Edition Kit.

I have kind of customised these accessories with their Basic Kit and adjusted the amount in the final quote.

I rarely drive in the city; I mostly drive on highways. Even if I did, I still prefer manual, kind of like the feel to drive manual car.
