Exterior Design

The Honda Elevate ADV Edition stands out with orange accents and bold graphics that give it a distinctive look. The front grille and fog lamp surrounds feature orange inserts, and the hood gets an orange sticker that complements the overall design theme. The black alloy wheels also have orange highlights, while the doors carry a prominent “ADV” decal.

Other design changes include blacked-out roof rails, window surrounds, door handles, and ORVMs, enhancing the SUV’s rugged appeal. The fenders and tailgate feature “ADV Edition” badges, and the rear bumper also sports orange detailing.

The ADV Edition is available in two colours: Lunar Silver and Meteoroid Grey, both of which can be paired with an optional black roof.

Interior Design

Inside, the Honda Elevate ADV Edition continues the black and orange theme. The cabin is finished in black with bright orange inserts across the dashboard and door panels. The front and rear seats feature “ADV” embossing and contrast orange stitching. An illuminated dashboard trim adds a premium and sporty touch.
