Honda has just released the Elevate ADV Edition, which is the new, highest-spec version of their popular SUV. This new variant focuses on giving the car a much sportier and more adventurous look with several exclusive design upgrades.
Price Tag
The starting price for the manual version of the ADV Edition is Rs. 15.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). If you want the top-end CVT automatic with the dual-tone paint, the price goes up to Rs. 16.66 lakh.
Exterior Style: Black, Bold, and Orange
The ADV Edition is easy to spot thanks to its unique styling, which uses a lot of black and bright orange accents for an "outdoorsy" feel:
- Front End: It features a glossy black grille (called 'Alpha-Bold Plus') and a cool orange stripe decal running over the bonnet.
- Black Details: The roof rails, side mirrors, and alloy wheels are all finished in black. The wheels also get small orange highlights.
- Accents: Other sporty touches include special ADV badges, orange trim around the fog lamps, and a redesigned rear bumper guard with orange highlights.
- Colours: You can buy the ADV Edition in Meteoroid Grey Metallic or Lunar Silver Metallic, available as a single color or with a contrasting black roof (dual-tone).
Interior Design: Sporty Black with Flair
Inside, the cabin is entirely black, making it look much sportier than the standard Elevate. This black theme is jazzed up with orange stitching and accents on the seats, gear lever area, and air conditioning controls.
- Coolest Feature: A unique highlight is the ADV Terrain Pattern backlit instrument panel. This illuminated dashboard display is a first for Honda and gives the cabin a modern, high-tech feel.
- Seating: The seats feature special embossed ADV logos.
Engine and Safety
The ADV Edition uses the same reliable mechanicals and top-level safety features as the existing Elevate:
- Power: It runs on the familiar 1.5-litre petrol engine.
- Gearbox: You can choose between a six-speed manual or a smooth seven-speed automatic (CVT) that comes with paddle shifters.
- Top Safety: It includes the advanced Honda Sensing ADAS suite (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). This means the car can actively help prevent accidents with features like automatic emergency braking and keeping the car centered in its lane.
- Standard Features: Core safety features are all included, such as six airbags, a lane watch camera, stability control, and child seat anchors (ISOFIX).
