Honda Elevate Black Edition competition check
The Elevate black edition takes on the Creta Knight Edition, the Astor Blackstorm and the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara black edition. The standard Honda Elevate sees stiff competition from the likes of the Creta, Seltos, Grand Vitara, Hyryder, Kushaq and the Taigun. Hyundai's mid-size SUV is the segment leader, with monthly sales averaging a staggering 15,000 units (approximately).
In comparison, sales of Honda’s mid-size SUV, so far, have been below expectations. Last year, Honda had introduced the Elevate Apex edition which continues to be one of the popular variants for the SUV.
Dealers tell us that the Elevate black edition will be on display at the showrooms by next week.
