Called the WR-V, the Japanese Elevate gets pet-friendly accessories worth ₹40,000.
The Honda Elevate is sold in Japan as the WR-V and is exported to Honda’s home country from India. At a recent fair for humans and pets, Honda Japan showcased a special, pet-friendly edition of the WR-V.
Honda Access, the firm’s accessories arm in Japan, has shown a few accessories for the WR-V under the ‘Honda Dog’ moniker. The accessories include a pet carrier for the front passenger seat that can accommodate two small dogs and also gets a grey door lining cover. This pet carrier costs JPY 21,450 (roughly ₹11,600) while the door lining cover is priced at JPY 6,600 (roughly ₹3,600). The rear bench seat, priced at JPY 25,300 (roughly ₹13,700) gets a pet seat circle that can accommodate small- and medium-sized dogs and gets anchorages to attach leashes to prevent dogs from jumping out.

In Japan, the WR-V gets the same 1.5-litre petrol engine as the Elevate in India. However, it misses out on the 6-speed manual gearbox and is only available with the CVT automatic. The WR-V has a slightly detuned engine as it produces 117 bhp and 142 Nm, while the Elevate produces 119 bhp and 145 Nm.
