We’ve only had Maruti cars for many years and are now planning to get an SUV. I’m thinking of moving away from Maruti, and I like the Honda Elevate since it looks tough and imposing, but I’m concerned about its NVH and mileage. Is it a good buy?

If your driving style is largely sedate, that is, you're gentle on the accelerator and don't rev the engine often, the Honda Elevate's refinement shouldn't be much of a concern. The Honda Elevate mileage is around 9kpl in the city and 13kpl on the highway, which is lower than models like the Maruti Grand Vitara mild-hybrid and Hyundai Creta 1.5 petrol.

This has also been covered in our midsize SUV comparison: Honda Elevate vs rivals.

So, if your purchase is solely based on fuel efficiency, there are more efficient options. Otherwise, the Honda Elevate is a capable, no-nonsense midsize SUV and one that we can easily recommend.
