Honda Car India has quietly introduced a new limited-run variant of its popular compact SUV, the Elevate. Called the Apex Summer Edition, this special variant is now listed on Honda’s official website and brings a handful of visual and feature enhancements over the standard model. The best part? It offers these upgrades at a lower price point than you’d expect.
Pricing
The Apex Summer Edition is available in both manual and CVT variants. Here’s how they’re priced:
| Variant | Price (ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| Manual (MT) | Rs. 12.39 lakh |
| CVT (Automatic) | Rs. 13.59 lakh |
These prices make the Apex Summer Edition a value-packed offering, especially when you consider the extra features and cosmetic tweaks it comes with.
Styling
Based on the V variant of the standard Elevate, the Apex Summer Edition stands out with a more refined and sporty appearance. It features piano black and chrome trims that give it a premium edge. You’ll also spot exclusive Apex Edition badging on the outside, marking it as something special.
Inside, Honda has added dual-tone interiors that bring in a more upmarket vibe. There’s also leatherette seat upholstery, which adds a layer of comfort and sophistication to the cabin experience.
Features
Here’s where the Apex Summer Edition really delivers. Honda has loaded it with features to make it more attractive to younger and style-conscious buyers. The highlights include:
- A larger nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Ambient interior lighting
- 360-degree camera for easier parking and maneuvering
- New door trims
- Special seat cushions for added comfort
These upgrades make the SUV feel a bit more premium and certainly more tech-friendly than the regular V variant.
Performance
Mechanically, there are no changes under the hood. The Elevate Apex Summer Edition continues with the tried-and-tested 1.5-litre petrol engine. It puts out 119bhp and 145Nm of torque. You can choose between a six-speed manual transmission or a smooth CVT, depending on your preference.
While there’s nothing new in terms of driving performance, the existing setup is already known for its reliability and everyday usability—making it a safe bet for urban and highway use alike.
Availability
Bookings for the Apex Summer Edition have officially opened at Honda dealerships across India. However, since this is a limited edition release, availability and delivery timelines may vary depending on location and stock. If you’re interested, your best bet is to head to a nearby dealership quickly.
The Apex Summer Edition is clearly aimed at those who want a bit more style and a few extra features without stepping up to a much higher variant. It’s sporty, stylish, and well-equipped—all while keeping pricing competitive.
