Honda Elevate India Launch Date Revealed

Honda Cars India is gearing up to launch its compact SUV, the Elevate, on September 4, 2023. The company has been gradually unveiling information about the car, fitting the pieces of the puzzle together. This launch signifies Honda's re-entry into the compact SUV market after a hiatus of three years.

In India, the compact SUV category has been a popular choice among buyers, with many significant players in the field. Although Honda Cars India stepped away from this category after discontinuing the BR-V in 2020, the company is now making a comeback after three years. The Elevate will be entering a competitive market, facing off against various models. One of its most challenging rivals is the Hyundai Creta and the newly launched Kia Seltos. Both the aforementioned models are known as the top-selling passenger vehicles in India in the compact-SUV segment.
