Honda Elevate facelift adds seat ventilation and 360-degree camera, but keeps 120 bhp petrol and skips hybrid
Our read
The Elevate facelift is a feature top-up that probably holds its position but does not lift it, and Honda's real SUV reset waits for the larger and sub-4m models.
For operators
Honda's Elevate facelift adds seat ventilation, an 8-way powered driver seat and a 360-degree camera but keeps the 120 bhp petrol engine, with no hybrid, panoramic sunroof or display larger than 10.25 inches, so expect it to stay behind rivals on features until the larger and sub-4m SUVs arrive in a couple of years.

The report
