Honda Elevate commands a waiting period of 6 months

Higher-spec variants account for more than 60% of the total bookings. 65% of the total bookings are for the CVT version.

Earlier this month, Honda launched the Elevate midsize SUV in India, but dealers have been accepting bookings since July this year. Now, according to Kunal Bhel, VP of Marketing & Sales, Honda Car India, has revealed that the waiting period for the SUV has reached the 6-month mark.

The Honda Elevate is available in four variants: SV, V, VX and ZX, with prices starting at Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom). It is said that the higher-spec variants account for more than 60% of the total bookings. 65% of the total bookings are for the CVT version.

The VX and ZX variants have the highest waiting period of around 6 months, but customers who have booked the SV or V variant can expect delivery in around 2-3 months.

The Elevate competes with the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Maruti Grand Vitara. The SUV is available with a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine producing 119 BHP @ 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm @ 4,300 rpm. It is mated with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed CVT.
