Buying Honda’s popular SUV Elevate has become more expensive.
The company raised the prices for both the manual and automatic versions.
If you’re thinking about getting this SUV, you’ll need to spend up to Rs 58,000 extra.

Elevate is now the best-selling car for Honda, with 4376 units sold in December 2023.
It competes with models like Maruti Grand Vitara, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, and MG Astor in India.
