The Hyundai Creta remains the segment leader, with monthly sales averaging around 15,000 units. The Honda Elevate will face stiff competition from these popular models. However, the Elevate Black Edition’s premium features and stylish design will make it an attractive choice.
Why the Early Launch?
Honda initially planned to launch the Elevate Black Edition in March 2025. However, the company decided to move up the launch to January 2025.
This decision was made to boost sales of the Elevate. The Apex Edition, launched earlier, saw decent traction in the market. Honda hopes the Black Edition will drive more sales for the Elevate lineup.
