Mechanically, the Elevate is solely powered by a 1.5-litre gasoline engine that is tuned to produce 119bhp and 145Nm of torque. The transmission duties are handled by a five-speed manual gearbox and a CVT unit with an ARAI-certified fuel efficiency of 15.31kmpl and 16.92kmpl, respectively. Meanwhile, unlike the Honda City, the Elevate misses out on the hybrid powertrain setup.
