  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.
