Honda Elevate review

Honda nailed it with the pricing! Finally! This car is value for money considering other manufacturers! Buying experience: should be good Looks and performance: looks high class, looks like its global models abroad. Performance for a natural aspirated model is quite good. Mileage is good too. Pros: looks, build quality, engine, price Cons: few features like ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof is missing.

Excellent city & highway luxury sedan with single tone dull interiors

<P>Things which can improve the popularity of this sedan are:</P> <P>1.Give two tone biege interiors with leather upholstery.</P> <P>2.Give power antenna as standard fitment.</P> <P>3.Introduce 15 inches radials alloys&nbsp;as standard fitment.</P> <P>4.If a CNG version is introduced it definitely would kill the competition.</P> <P>5.Change rear lamp assembly to a curvish/round one.</P> <P>Maruti should not discontinue the production of this sedan because of its popularity and advantages(which is reflected in the monthly sales figures),rather&nbsp;company should try to make it a more attractive package(as suggested above 1-5).A mistake should not be committed to leave 5-5.5 lacs bracket vacant(more so,when Baleno is a steal at&nbsp;its present price)&nbsp;&nbsp;after a new sedan(6-7 lacs)is introduced in near future.</P> <P>In nut shell,Baleno should auger well for Maruti company if this seadan is managed well.</P>Good fuel economy(14-15 in city with AC),Excellent torque at low speeds(rpm)& rear & front vision.Dull interiors,Low ground clearance,Flat rear lamps.
