Excellent value for money : mid-size SUV at the price of a sub 4m offering A very comfortable ride set-up, something that Citroens are known for Spacious cabin, even tall rear passengers will not have a reason to complain 470-litre boot is bigger than even the Honda Elevate! Easy to drive manners - good visibility and light controls 1.2-litre turbo petrol is punchy and the 6-speed AT responsive	Simple yet stylish exterior design with signature Skoda design language Powerful 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with 148 bhp of power and an option of smooth DSG transmission The 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine is sporty with an engaging 6-speed MT & a smooth AT gearbox The interior is simple and practical with good storage space The cabin offers good ergonomics, comfortable seats, ample legroom The feature offering is good which includes an electric sunroof, electrically adjustable front seats, and a big touchscreen infotainment, among others A good number of safety features such as 6-airbags, ESC, brake disc wiping, and others It boasts a 5-star GNCAP crash test safety rating

Features like sunroof, push button start, cruise control, auto lamps etc missing No automatic (or even AMT) with non-turbo petrol. No CNG or diesel either Limited dealer network - only 85 outlets across India at launch Bharat crash test ratings might be average at best	The interior width is not that good fitting 3 adults in the rear seat might be difficult It misses on some features as compared to its rivals such as a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, ADAS, USB charging ports No diesel engine is available in the lineup The DSG gearbox has reliability issues and it has faced breakdowns previously The top-spec variants cost over Rs 20 lakh on-road which is quite expensive considering the feature offering Turbo petrol engines are not much fuel-efficient Skoda’s after-sales service is not that great as compared to rivals like Hyundai, KIA and Maruti Suzuki The boot space is quite less as compared to other cars in the segment

  The rear seats are new, comfortable, and recliner-style, offering a good seating experience. On highways, some outside noise is noticeable, and a broader wheelbase would improve stability. A dashcam is included, but the seats could still be more comfortable, and additional boot space would be appreciated. Overall, it’s an okay car with room for improvement.

  The Honda Elevate is a great car with impressive performance and a well-tuned engine that reflects Honda’s engineering excellence. I get a mileage of around 14–15 kmpl in the city and 18–19 kmpl on the highway, which is quite satisfactory. However, I feel the maintenance costs and spare parts are on the higher side. Despite that, the driving experience is smooth and powerful. I would definitely recommend the Honda Elevate to those looking for a reliable and refined SUV.
