The 2026 facelift of the Honda Elevate now comes with ten exterior colour choices and a revised price range of Rs 11.80 lakh to Rs 18.40 lakh (ex‑showroom Delhi). Crystal Black Pearl is offered across all trims from SV to ZX and the ZX+ CVT, while Nordic Forest Pearl appears in V, VX, ZX and ZX+ and also as a dual‑tone version on the ZX+ CVT for an extra Rs 28,000. Lunar Silver, Meteoroid Grey, Obsidian Blue Pearl, Platinum White Pearl and Radiant Red Metallic are also available, with specific trims listed for each. Dual‑tone finishes are limited to the top‑spec ZX+ CVT, and both Nordic Forest Pearl and Obsidian Blue Pearl add a Rs 8,000 premium in the trims where they are sold. Pricing starts at Rs 11.80 lakh for the manual SV, while CVT models begin at Rs 13.79 lakh for the V trim. The ZX+ manual is priced at Rs 16.80 lakh and the ZX+ CVT at Rs 18.30 lakh.

Beyond paint, the facelift adds front and rear ventilated seats, powered front seats, a 360‑degree camera and an upgraded Honda Sensing suite. Front ventilated seats arrive on the ZX trim, while rear ventilated seats debut on the ZX+ as a segment‑first feature. The ZX+ also gets an eight‑way powered driver seat and a four‑way powered front passenger seat. New design cues include a larger mesh grille, connected tri‑bar LED lights, gloss‑black accents and revised bumpers. Connected LED lighting is standard from the VX trim upwards.
