The top-spec ZX variant of the Honda Elevate comes with a Level-2 ADAS suite of assistance features that help the driver avoid unfortunate incidents.

2. 10.25-inch Touchscreen Infotainment

ZX variant- Rs. 15.21 lakhs

3. Ventilated Seats ( As An Accessory)

As An Optional Accessory- Rs. 6,000

Honda Elevate didn't offer any seat ventilation when launched and was perceived a big miss when compared to its rivals. Compensating this missed tech, Honda is offering seat ventilation with massage function as a clip-on accessory at an Rs. 6,000 additional cost. The unit is attached on top od the front seats and draws power from the 12V socket. While it isn't very aesthetically pleasing with a car of this stature, it sure gets the job done. Mind you, if you are using the ventilated seats, you'll miss out on the 12V socket.

Competition Check- Hyundai Creta, Seltos, Hyryder, and the Grand Vitara also offer seat ventilation, but with a superior factory-fitted installation within the front seats.

4. 6 Airbags As Standard

Honda updated the safety of its Elevate and City models with a 6-airbag setup as standard. This makes the Honda Elevate much safer than before and is a welcome move by the brand.

Competition Check- The Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Grand Vitara, and Toyota Hyryder, all come with a 6-airbag set-up, although it comes as standard with just the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. For the other rivals, you may find it in the top-spec variants only.
