The Elevate compact SUV is loaded with features like a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The South African model also comes with an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) that features adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam assist, automatic emergency braking, and more.

The new SUV is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated i-VTEC petrol engine that churns out 119 bhp of power and a peak torque of 145 Nm. The unit is mated to a six-speed manual and a CVT AT option.
