Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.93L more for the Elevate ZX: 121 PS against 103 PS, a 17 percent jump you will feel and the Elevate ZX shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds blind spot monitor. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Elevate ZX: touchscreen (10.25" against 10.1"), wired CarPlay / Android Auto and driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Elevate ZX, you give up 360° camera, tyre pressure monitor and JBL system with Dolby Atmos, which the Victoris ZXi+ (O) keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Victoris ZXi+ (O) if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.93L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Honda Elevate ZX if
- You want the stronger, quicker car and will use the performance
