With the launch being planned for the coming months, the Elevate will go up against a long line-up of new cars but with the hype around it, the Elevate could easily be the best selling Honda car in India. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

Boot is huge at 458l and way better than competitors and will swallow all of the luggage. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

Interior while getting many similar bits to the City like the steering wheel, gear lever or even the instrument cluster, actually looks more upmarket with the larger 10.25-inch touchscreen. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

There are City like 17inch wheels as well while from the side it looks more like a crossover. It is fairly big with a length of 4312mm and also as wide as its rivals with a width of 1790mm. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

No turbo petrol on offer but the tried and tested 121bhp 1.5l petrol is there with a CVT and a manual gearbox. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

Styling is one of the highlights and it looks more purposeful in the flesh. Build quality is similar to the Honda City on which it is based on and the large chrome rich grille is what gives it the most presence. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

Feature list includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Weblink, 6 Airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist with Agile Handling Assist, Hill Start Assist, Honda Lane Watchcamera, Multi angle Rear Camera, sunroof and more. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

The dual-tone colour scheme, door pad quality is also better than some others. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

Rear seat is sufficiently comfortable while being best suited for two passengers. The seats offer good support while legroom is quite good plus thigh support is actually better than some of its rivals. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)
