Honda Car India is all set to launch the Elevate compact SUV in the country in September this year. The company is targeting to announce the price of the car ahead of the festive season. We expect prices to be in the Rs. 11-17 lakh quadrant, but will the Japanese carmaker surprise us with competitive pricing? We certainly hope so.
