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.
