Honda Cars India has opened pre-launch bookings for the Elevate facelift ahead of its India debut on October 6, 2026. Customers can reserve the SUV at authorised Honda dealerships across the country for Rs. 21,000. India will be the first market to receive the updated Elevate and Honda has confirmed design revisions, additional equipment and a more premium cabin for the new model.
The teaser reveals multiple exterior change so far. The current Elevate uses conventional LED headlamp units with its daytime running lights contained within the lamp assemblies. The facelift introduces a segmented horizontal LED signature across the upper section of the nose with illuminated elements extending further inwards from either side. The new arrangement gives the front end a noticeably different identity.
You could also see Honda badge moved to the edge of the bonnet and new black meshes for the grille in the teaser. However, the bonnet shape and roof rails look familiar which indicates that the sheet metal has not received a complete redesign. Revised bumpers and alloy wheels are expected to account for the other exterior changes while the rear gets a brand new twin LED tail lamp strips.

The teaser also shows ambient lighting function with white and black dashboard theme. Honda is also expected to introduce revised upholstery, new trim finishes, etc.
Ventilated front seats are expected on top end variants and could move from the current accessory route to factory installation. The same applies to the 360 degree camera which is expected to become an integrated factory feature. Honda Sensing suite could also receive revisions. The existing Elevate already offers an ADAS package with Collision Mitigation Braking System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist System and Road Departure Mitigation.
