Keeping the UI simple and easy to use is exactly what is required in modern day cars, there are fewer companies who can get it right, Honda seems to be in the right direction and I hope that this car does well, for Honda's sake

Hi Jenil, thanks for the feedback. Indeed wireless chargers heat up the device and both Hyundai and Kia provide a cooling vent in front of the charging pads. About time other car manufacturers provide something like this.

How is this infotainment system compared to hyryder and taigun ?
@GaneshBalan11 ай бұрын
In terms of sound quality, it is better than the units on the Taigun and Kushaq. I haven’t experienced the unit on the Hyryder or GV so no idea on that. In terms of controlling the various features in the car and the display of information, the Kushaq/Taigun is better since it links with the onboard computer (BCM) and displays a whole lot of information. This in turn, can be tweaked using VCDS to customise the options. The unit on the Elevate lacks these aspects.

Hi Monu, firstly decide what type of vehicle you’re looking for - a sedan or a crossover. The market trend these days are towards crossovers and sedans are a dying breed. It is true that crossovers have a better GC but if you have to wade through water, both sedans and crossovers have an equal chance of making it through or failing. The only ones that can wade through 700-800 mm of water are PROPER SUVs not these crossovers. They have their engine air intakes located high up. You seem to keep your cars for a really long time. 👍🏻 My pick would be the Elevate. It’ll give you Honda’s reliability and peace of mind. It won’t win any drag races or 0-100 kmph darts but the CVT is supremely convenient and you’ll have a peace of mind at all times.
