Honda Elevate CVT vs Maruti Grand Vitara AT News & Top Stories

Real-world Fuel Efficiency Comparison: Honda Elevate CVT vs Maruti Grand Vitara AT

The Maruti Grand Vitara is immediately rivaled by the 2023 arrival of Honda‘s all-new small SUV, the Elevate. A 1.5-liter gasoline engine with natural aspiration powers both cars. To determine which small SUV is more fuel-efficient in the real world, we compared their actual fuel usage. Let’s look at the powertrain characteristics of both compact SUVs before moving on to the test findings. (Honda vs Maruti )

SpecificationsHonda ElevateMaruti Grand Vitara
Engine1.5-litre 4 cyl naturally aspirated petrol1.5-liter 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol (mild hybrid)
Power121 PS103 PS
Torque145 Nm137 Nm
TransmissionCVT6-speed AT
Claimed Fuel Efficiency16.20 kmpl20.58 km
Tested Fuel Efficiency (City)12.60 km13.72 kmpl
Tested Fuel Efficiency (Highway)16.40 kmpl19.05 km

Honda Elevate

Maruti Grand Vitara’s power and torque output are inferior to that of the Honda Elevate. But thanks to its mild hybrid technology, the Grand Vitara has an edge that yields higher stated fuel efficiency ratings as well as better practical economy. Between these two cars, there is a little over a km/l difference in fuel efficiency in urban circumstances. Still, when compared to the Honda Elevate, the Grand Vitara has almost 3 km/l more fuel efficiency when driving on a highway.

It’s also crucial to remember that, although the Grand Vitara’s test efficiency narrowly misses the advertised amount, the Elevate’s highway mileage somewhat exceeds it.

MileageCity: Highway (50:50)City: Highway (25:75)City: Highway (75:25)
Honda Elevate CVT14.25 km15.25 kmpl13.37 km
Maruti Grand Vitara AT15.95 kmpl17.36 kmpl14.75 kmpl

Maruti Grand Vitara

In all three driving scenarios, the Maruti Grand Vitara comes out on top once more. The mileage numbers of both automobiles differ by slightly more than 1 km/l if your driving is mostly in cities. But when driving on a highway, this disparity rises to almost 2 km/l. There is less than a 2-kilometer per hour difference even in mixed driving circumstances.

Notice: An automobile’s fuel efficiency can change based on your driving habits, the status of the roads, and the car itself. (Honda vs Maruti)

Key Takeaway

Given that the Maruti SUV is less powerful than the Honda SUV, the Grand Vitara is therefore more economical than the Elevate. The Grand Vitara is a great option if fuel economy is important to you. You can choose the Elevate instead if you choose reasonable power above fuel economy.
