The Elevate makes a great case for itself with a very comfortable cabin, and the rear seat, which has ample leg- and headroom, will be a clincher for many. Limiting its appeal will be the sole 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine and it is disappointing that Honda hasn’t given stronger engine options. The Elevate offers an enjoyable driving experience and is easy to handle and live with daily. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of some rivals, its spacious cabin and comfortable ride make it a strong contender in the SUV market.
