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.

Good but not great

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Exterior</strong> Good!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong> comfortable.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong> Engine is responsive,powerful,but should be handled gently.i have seen 14kmpl on highway with gentle handling.i have also seen 5 kmpl within city.this is a high way car.sunroof is awaste in most of the parts of india.bumps on roads are not smoothly handled.auto gear in place of sun roof would have been a great bargain.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling </strong>I drove vehicle for 600km before buying.thanks to my dealer for having given this oppurtunity.i found it it tobe sporty when i wanted with rev,pickup,power,control etc.at the same time found gentle,fuel efficient .i could do 140 kmph on nh 5. effertlessly.over drive gears are simply fuel efficient.i could do 80 km speed at just 1500 rpm which can easily give 14 kmpl with 2 persons in car.gear changing is not frequently asked .from high speeds to lower speeds on breaking,gear is mooving from 5/6 to 3rd gear smoothly.</p> <p>Latest technolgy og tsi is wonderful.worlds still latest 1.4 must ave been still better.</p> <p>Ride is smooth,pickup is great.economy as well as as sporty.if driver wants enjoy thrills in driving,one has to compromise for fuel efficiency.breaking is good.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong> Definetly better than diesel version,provided economy is looked into.better than honda accord and superb.i have no experience with camry.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong> Auto gear box. All car manufacturers are bringing outdated technology first to india and later getting improved versions.we cant understand why later tch if not latest id brought into india.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>good fuel economy,safe,comfortable,tsi technology is simply superbsunroof is waste,automatic gearbox must
