Previously, I test-drove Creta (2023 SX MT) on the same route and in the same style. Here is what I think about Elevate:<\/p>\n<p>Positives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1. The ingress and egress was easy and the doors had good aperture plus opened wide.<\/li>\n<li>2. The rear seats were comfortable and supportive, there was no lack of under-thigh support once I placed my ankles on the inclined footrest (am 174 cm). However, The front passenger seat could support my thigh only when I pushed it halfway back but was comfortable after that.<\/li>\n<li>3. There was ample space in the cabin and it felt very airy and cozy, the fit and finish were good. The buttons didn&#8217;t feel flimsy, quite to my surprise, not even the temperature and blower controls. The infotainment system was very smooth and easy to operate, music system was good.<\/li>\n<li>4. The Engine was very smooth and I couldn&#8217;t feel any noise or vibration in the cabin. The rev-happy engine when tickled above 3k, became audible but it wasn&#8217;t bothersome.<\/li>\n<li>5. The driving visibility was good, the full perimeter of the hood was visible and it felt as if I was driving a proper SUV. The lane watch camera eliminated the blind spot created by the passenger side C pillar. The ORVMs were good and provided a good view.<\/li>\n<li>6. The driving dynamics were good, the steering gained proper weight at highway speed (unlike Creta) and I felt no body roll.<\/li>\n<li>7. The brakes were very good and confidence-inspiring, while I was cruising at 70 Kmph, had to apply emergency brakes when out of the blue a dog appeared in my lane. The vehicle stopped in a straight line without losing composure, also the hazard light automatically turned on and turned off once I continued moving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Negatives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1. The interior was good but not to the level of the Koreans, I could especially feel this when touching the headliners and the sunroof curtain.<\/li>\n<li>2. There was tyre noise inside the cabin once the vehicle went above 70 Kmph.<\/li>\n<li>3. Lack of Features; I was surprised to see such a poor rear view camera and without adaptive guidelines at this price point, no ventilated seats nor a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Although the latter two are available as accessories, I feel factory fit is always better.<\/li>\n<li>4. The hump in the rear seat is a nuisance, don&#8217;t know if the third passenger can sit comfortably. Also, the lack of a headrest and three-point seat belt for the middle passenger is an annoyance.<\/li>\n<li>5. The foot area was small for the front passenger when compared with the competition.<\/li>\n<li>6. Not the car but the dealer network, I have no dealer in my city (Bokaro, Jharkhand). The nearest is 67Kms\/90 mins away and the next to nearest is 100 km\/150 mins away. This is one of the biggest reasons not many in my city even consider Honda cars, they should improve upon this. Even so, Jharkhand has only 3 Honda dealers while Maruti Suzuki has 37 dealers and Hyundai has 16 dealers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After considering all the points and weighing the pros and cons, we rejected Creta and booked a Red ZX CVT Elevate. The primary reason for rejecting Creta was a lack of safety. The SA has told us to expect the car just before Diwali.<\/p>\n<p>Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/pros-cons-honda-elevate-over-creta-after-5-km-test-drive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After considering all the points and weighing the pros and cons, we rejected Creta and booked a Red ZX CVT Elevate.
