Honda Elevate Festive Offers & GST 2.0 Price Cuts in September 2025
Big savings on Honda Elevate, City, and Amaze this September. Festive offers, new features, and GST 2.0 cuts make Honda cars more affordable for Navratri–Diwali
Honda has rolled out festival-time offers on the Elevate for September 2025. Buyers of the top ZX trim can save the most, while the VX and V trims also carry solid benefits. Honda has not listed an offer for the entry SV. These savings will vary by city and stock, so customers should check with local dealers. Honda has also updated the Elevate with fresh touches. The ZX gets a new Ivory cabin theme with white leatherette seats, while the V and VX trims get shadow beige fabric with white soft-touch inserts. A 360-degree camera is now optional on the top trim. An Alpha-Bold Plus Grille with nine vertical slats is available, and the Crystal Black Pearl color is offered on all trims except the base SV for an extra ₹8,000. In a separate announcement, Honda confirmed it will pass on the GST 2.0 price cut across models from September 22. Under this, the Elevate will be cheaper by up to ₹58,400, the City by up to ₹57,500, and the Amaze by up to ₹72,800 to ₹95,500 depending on the generation. Together, these steps will help buyers lock better prices and take deliveries during Navratri–Diwali.

Analysis and Insights
Honda has timed Elevate discounts and feature updates to keep showroom interest high before GST 2.0 resets prices. The ZX’s Ivory interior and optional 360-degree camera add premium feel where buyers often decide on top trims. The Alpha-Bold Plus Grille and Crystal Black Pearl color pack a clear visual change without heavy re-engineering, which helps Honda scale updates fast across regions. The confirmed GST reductions from September 22 further lower effective prices on the Elevate, City, and Amaze, and this two-step value stack should support bookings through Navratri and Diwali. Buyers should focus on the net on-road number by combining current festive offers with post-GST ex-showroom pricing if delivery will happen later in September. In competitive midsize SUV space, this tactic helps Elevate stand out on value, while the City and Amaze benefit from sharper entry points. Expect quick movement on ZX and VX inventories in metros, with V trim uptake improving where exchange programs are strong.
