Engine Displacement: 1,498 cc
The Honda Elevate is powered by a refined 1.5-litre i-VTEC DOHC petrol engine. This naturally aspirated unit is known for its linear power delivery and high-revving nature, making it a staple in Honda's Indian lineup.
Max Power: 119.35 bhp @ 6,600 rpm
Delivering nearly 121 PS (119.35 bhp), the engine provides ample power for both city commutes and highway cruising. The power peaks at the higher end of the rev range, characteristic of Honda’s VTEC technology.
Max Torque: 145 Nm @ 4,300 rpm
With a peak torque of 145 Nm, the Elevate offers decent mid-range pull. While it lacks a turbocharger, the torque spread is optimized for smooth drivability in stop-and-go traffic.
No. of Cylinders: 4
The inline 4-cylinder configuration ensures a smoother and more refined experience compared to 3-cylinder rivals, significantly reducing NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) levels in the cabin.
Valve Train: DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft)
The use of a DOHC setup with 4 valves per cylinder allows for precise control over valve timing, enhancing the efficiency and performance of the i-VTEC system.
Fuel System: MPFI (Multi-Point Fuel Injection)
The engine utilizes a reliable Multi-Point Fuel Injection system. This ensures consistent fuel delivery across all cylinders, contributing to the vehicle's BS6 Phase 2 (E20 compatible) compliance.
0-100 km/h: ~10.5 to 11 seconds
In real-world testing, the manual variant of the Honda Elevate clocks the 0-100 km/h sprint in approximately 10.5 seconds, while the CVT is slightly more relaxed.
Top Speed: ~160 km/h
The Elevate is capable of reaching a top speed of roughly 160 km/h. However, it is electronically limited and aerodynamically optimized for stability rather than outright velocity.
