Honda expands its compact SUV lineup with the new Elevate ADV Edition, a special version designed for younger drivers who value urban comfort but want an adventure-ready look. Originally developed for the Indian market in 2023, the model is now also exported to Japan under the name WR-V.
The updated version features a revised grille with vertical slats and an orange accent stripe, glossy black wheels, a decorative rear “protection” plate, and orange exterior highlights. It also sports ADV decals, signature badges, and a two-tone body in Meteoroid Gray Metallic or Lunar Silver Metallic with a black roof.
Inside, the cabin combines black and vibrant orange trim with contrast stitching and ambient lighting on the dashboard. Equipment includes a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, 7-inch instrument display, eight-speaker audio, a sunroof, and the Honda ADAS suite of safety systems.
Under the hood, it keeps the same 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine (119 hp, 145 Nm) paired with either a six-speed manual or CVT, front-wheel drive, and 220 mm of ground clearance — suitable for rough roads but not true off-roading.
