This is in contrast to the Kia Seltos in which the three of us could sit comfortably at the back.
BHPian skarthiksr recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
Since the car is not available in Dakshin Honda yet, went to Magnum Honda yesterday to check out the car. Here are some of my observations:
- The car looks big outside but feels somewhat small inside.
- Driver seating position is excellent. Gives a commanding position. Even when the seat height is not fully up, the visibility was great.
- Presence of both tilt and telescoping steering adjustment is good and helps pick a comfortable driving position.
- Passenger seat didn’t feel low. Bonnet lines visible both from the driver and passenger seats.
- I went with my friend who is tall and even when the passenger seat is pushed fully backwards, he said that his legroom had no issues.
- The rear seat will work best only for two. It is not going to be comfortable for the middle passenger no matter how you try to adjust. This is in contrast to Seltos where three of us could sit comfortably. Not sure what Honda’s engineers thought about this during the design phase. At a tentative 20L+ top-end OTR price range, a four-seater is not something many will compromise.
- The window area starts a bit at a higher-than-usual position at the rear, but I didn’t feel claustrophobic. Even when looked at from the outside, the rear window area looked small. You can clearly notice this if a Honda City is parked next to the Elevate.
- Boot space was pretty good. No complaints.
- The car did not have keys so I couldn’t open/close the sunroof or try the windows down/up etc.
I expected a lot of crowd in the showroom since the car reached the dealership only on Friday, but there wasn’t much. We were able to patiently check out the car. Magnum Honda has both red and blue colour Elevate though the blue one only is put on display.
With that said, now, it is all upto the pricing as I believe every other details about the car is already out.
