Honda Elevate launch, what does the WR-V look like?

Autos.id – The Honda Elevate has finally been released, but why is the shape a bit different? What is the reason why this Elevate is bigger than Honda HR-V but has the shape of WR-V in Indonesian market?

In fact, the Indonesian market itself has played a bit in shaping the new model’s niche. Including the Honda Elevate which is currently marketed in India. In terms of the shape itself, it turned out to be far from our previous expectations. In fact, time and time again we realized the Elevate was a Honda BR-V but it was all wrong.

The Honda Elevate itself was born to respond to competition from its class rival, the Hyundai Creta. For your information, Hyundai and Creta are selling very well in India. Even people complain that this machine’s stud can reach 1 year!

So, can Elevate get close to the car?

The dimensions of the Honda Elevate are larger than the HR-V

In its size, it seems there will be many big differences. Given the formation of this car is clearly visible. The front body shape is very boxy, reminiscent of the Honda BR-V but this version is more boxy.

The front grille is actually different from other Honda cars. Uniquely, this car’s wheelbase is the same as the Creta, an interesting decision if this car is to compete with the Creta.

However, it may all be their way to stop the dominance of this model in India. Including presenting a body shape which is the taste of Indians. Not to mention the boxy design indicates they want a roomier cabin space.

The back is clearly visible if you take the design from the WR-V. All this makes the Elevate figure different from different auto segments in Asia. In Southeast Asia, there are WR-V and HR-V, while Asia, especially India, has Elevate which is a combination of the two.

Even more attractive interiors

Precisely there is a noticeable difference in the interior of this car. The shape of the box body affects the appearance of the dashboard. Starting with a 10.25-inch screen with a stiffer dashboard and a decisive line that is always present at the corner of the dashboard.

Meanwhile, the cabin space is more spacious and adapts to the posture of the Indians, who are so tall. For this reason, Honda is trying to present a very large interior space in this model.

Brown and beige colors dominate the look of this Elevate. No wonder bright colors are always dominant because they like those colors.

Abundant machines and features

As for the engine itself, the Elevate itself is still the same as the WR-V. With a displacement of 1,500cc with CVT and 6-speed manual transmission, everything can be adapted to the road conditions in India.

Meanwhile, the ADAS function itself is also included in this model. It’s no wonder that Honda is really struggling to take on the Hyundai Creta this time around.
