Honda Elevate black edition details
As part of the Black edition package, the Honda Elevate gets a Crystal Black Pearl exterior paint shade with all-black interiors and alloy wheels. The entry-level Elevate Black edition, priced at Rs 15.51 lakh, has a silver finish on the doors’ lower part, upper grille and roof rails. Honda is also offering an Elevate Signature black edition priced from Rs 15.71 lakh, which takes a step further by providing a black finish on all silver bits on the Elevate black edition. Additionally, it gets a seven-colour ambient interior lighting package.
Features borrowed from the standard Elevate SUV include six airbags, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, leatherette seating, a single-pane sunroof, camera-based ADAS, auto headlights and wipers, a semi-analogue instrument cluster and a 7.0-inch TFT display.
There are no mechanical changes which mean the Elevate Black edition comes with the 121hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, mated to either a manual or a CVT automatic gearbox. The Elevate black edition automatic starts at Rs 16.73 lakh and Rs 16.93 lakh respectively.
Honda Elevate Black Edition competition check
The Elevate black edition takes on the Hyundai Creta Knight Edition, the MG Astor Blackstorm and the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara black edition. The standard Honda Elevate sees stiff competition from the likes of the Creta, Seltos, Grand Vitara, Hyryder, Kushaq and Taigun. Hyundai’s midsize SUV is the segment leader, with monthly sales averaging a staggering 15,000 units (approximately).
In comparison, sales of Honda’s midsize SUV have been below expectations. Last year, Honda introduced the Elevate Apex edition, which continues to be one of the popular variants of the SUV.
Dealers tell us that the Elevate black edition will be on display at the showrooms by next week.
