Honda Elevate Hybrid Launch Details


Honda will finally launch its first hybrid SUV in India in the second half of 2026. The existing Honda Elevate SUV will receive the brand’s tried & tested Atkinson cycle 1.5L hybrid engine that powers the City e:HEV. The outgoing model is powered by a 119bhp, 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, naturally-aspirated petrol engine paired to either a 6-speed manual or a 7-step CVT. 


The new Elevate hybrid will be produced at Honda’s Tapukara based manufacturing facility in Alwar, Rajasthan. It will rival the Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder, which are offered with Toyota’s 1.5L TNGA hybrid engine. 


The Elevate hybrid will get the same powertrain that powers the Honda City e:HEV. It is the Atkinson Cycle, 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine paired with two electric motor, and a small battery pack. One electric motor work as an electric generator, while the other model is for propulsion.
