In terms of styling, the Elevate beholds a striking resemblance to Honda's global SUV line-up, particularly the HR-V SUV. As for its size, it is projected to measure around 4.3-4.4 metres in length, which is consistent with the segment's standards. The spy shots that surfaced on the internet recently confirmed a 360-degree camera placed under the ORVMs. A recent image shared on social media by the brand revealed that the Elevate will come equipped with an electric sunroof.

The Honda Elevate is likely to be built on the same platform as the City sedan and will perhaps be offered with a 1.5-litre petrol engine. Additionally, Honda is likely to introduce the strong hybrid system that debuted in the City (Honda City hybrid eHEV) for the Elevate. However, it is unlikely that a diesel engine option will be available.
