Being mechanically strong is not an excuse to offer outdated cars. Honda regularly updates it's cars globally but they keep on offering same model in india with limited options. Honda had hrv since forever but some genius decided to launch civic instead of that. It took them 10 years to launch elevate and even then it's launched with just one engine option. Why can't they launch turbo option to compete with creta/ kia and vw / skoda turbo suvs. Why can't they launch a hybrid option to compete with grand vitara. Having 100 gimmicy features in car is not necessary but having engine options is a must. With time certain features also become a necessary so you need to offer them to stay competitive. Ford made the same mistake and had to exit

Completely nailed it Gagan Sir. The main problem with Honda is that they take Indian customer sentiments for granted & just dump shits in the market hoping everyone will buy with no questions asked. If Tata & Mahindra can innovate, Honda why not? There lies the main point.

The main problem is Indian customer base which is very cost sensitive and priority is only for fuel efficiency and some useless features like panoramic sunroof, SUV like stance without all wheel drive. Honda is mainly known for their good performance engines which everyone want for a cheap price and our tax structure is not suitable for high performing bigger capacity engines. Fuel costs are also very high when compared to other Asian countries like, Philipines, Malaysia, Thailand, etc..... All in all most of the mainstream Japanese manufacturers dont have much profit in India when compared to other Asian countries where only Suzuki is suceeding because they have the cheapest produced vehicles in Japan and India.

Mahindra's innovation only resulted in wheel assembly coming off at 100kmph resulting in near fatal and at times fatal injuries to passengers. They had to recall cars. Do you ever hear this with Honda? Never. I agree Honda needs to bring good cars to India but Mahindra and Tata has a long way to go in building fundamentally well engineered cars where wheels don't come off!

Great insights. Last year I purchased Honda Elevate Automatic ZX. I was able to afford the top version because it was introduced as the cheapest in its segment. And, it had all the necessary standard and advance features at 15.99 lacs. A reasonable price with top notch quality. So ,if you are driving a honda you are few of those niche individuals who understand the meaning of "quality". And quality comes at a cost! Less features and good quality is the focus of Honda. Remember, Honda is not for the mass market; but for those who understand quality. You can Very we'll go to an interview and say you own a Honda. Means, you understand Quality. You see... and that's what they are focusing. Well, you can now clearly distinguish yourself from the mass and you don't have to say a word.

Today visited Honda showroom for the test drive of Honda City Hybrid. Except for Ride and space inside the car (maybe blind spot camera) really disappointed with it. Even my friend who came along with me, were greatly disappointed after hearing 25 Lakhs on road with basic features. And car with almost half the price will get you ventilated seats, power adjustment for driver seats. I am sucker for great sedans. But, I couldn't digest the fact that basic feature set for that price. My friend who came along with me got shocked to know that Honda having to sell just 4 cars ( technically 3! ). I was boasting about Honda being the premium brand infront of her, but today its literally got shattered 😢.

Honda just need to launch 4 models in india that they have in Thailand- WRV, HRV, BRV and CRV. But the problem with Honda is that the sales amd business is totally controlled and handled by the parent japanese officials they need to think like an indian buyer not as a japanese buyer. This same arrogant and lack of market research along with total control from the parent company resulted in the downfall of Ford, Chevy and Renault

Really impressed with your observations , so perfect !

kudos that you acknowledged that honda is in its last era in india and its almost maybe over for honda.

Honda cars are all rounder in terms of Safety, Dynamics, Ride quality, comfort, space, reliability, peace of mind and value for money from base variant but they are lacking in various aspects like No NCAP rating despite they also know both City and Elevate will score good or even 5 star rating..they just show internal crash test rating in the launch event but never send any car to GNCAP or BNCAP..I have suggested them multiple times on twitter but no response.. They are always late to the party but always lack behind what the customer demands.. I think they also know that their Sub4m Compact Suv won't survive in the competition because of cars like Nexon,Xuv 3XO,Sonet which already set a benchmark & they won't be able to provide more features than these cars.. But we all know honda has potential which can disrupt the competition if they learnt from their mistakes and launch Compact Suv like WRV and BRV which will surely help them to gain 15k numbers. We believe in you Honda but try to compete with the competition not with yourself.

Agree completely. I'm not even keen on lifestyle features, but six airbags and 1L turbo-charged engines are big misses, considering their pricing. I was waiting for the new WRV but it seems they'll bring it with 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, the same one used in Amaze and I'm reconsidering. Again, expected pricing at 9-13 lacs with lesser features and no engine options, isn't going to get them market share.

They know only to charge premium on their brand name. Now that they have compromised on quality, still they want premium, who will give it? Watch their service costs.

Yes I fully agree. Iam using JAZZ S variant since 2016. It’s almost eight years. Now they do not have varieties and are left out with only three models. As clearly thought by you iam too apprehensive that they may prove dark horse in leaving India or perhaps planning so.

Honda management should cop up with the present needs otherwise time is not far for them to pack out from India.

Sir , I can clearly see your love for Honda Cars and the facts you have highlighted are very true.Honda Should upgrade tgeir cars eith more features with price similar to their competitors

Correct sir, I was also expecting panaromic sunroof. Because of small sunroof I rejected Elevate.

Gagan bhai, you are spot on. Honda should immediately bring in atleast 5-6 features which is missing in Elevate like Choice of Engines ICE/Hybrid/Turbo, Ventilated front seats, 360 degree camera, Panoramic Sunroof, ADAS 2.0, Electronic seat adjustment... This will give Cretas, Seltoss... a run for their money.

Honda don’t want to listen to customer feedback, learn from Kia who listened to Indian customers before launching Seltos in India and launched it with features as per customer survey. Honda is stubborn, I think this may be the last chance for Honda India. Brio discontinued, Brv discontinued, Accord discontinued, Crv discontinued, Civic discontinued, WRV discontinued. Soon Honda may be discontinued.

I have 10 years old Amaze,no nonsense great car. In this video I am absolutely agree with your each and every point. I just can't understand,what we are wanting from Honda,the management is not considered since so many years and launching new models so lately without features.

I own kushaq. Elevate was not lauched when i bought it. After, one and half years when my friend was looking for new car, we went to honda for test drive. We were totally disapponted, not even a c charging point in front. No ventilated seats. I still remember even tpms was not there, dealer asked that we need to buy and install separately. We were also not satisfied with the build quality. The door and boot thump was lacking like the way in VW/Skoda/Tata/Mahindra. Now, lets come to driving experince. We never got the feel that we were driving 20 lkh car. No punch. Too much noise when accelerating. I must say, they should have given turbo in this segment. All the competitors come with turbo. The feel is just diff in that.

Good points, not sure why are they so slow

sir panaromic sunroof destruct the structure of any car and reduce the strength of car.

Hence I like honda elevate❤

apne bilkul sahi kaha. mere mama ke pass BR-V tha. mujhe bhi 7 seater lene ka man tha.Sochatha updated norms wala model lunga. achanak BS6 se bandh ho gaya. it was very disappointing.

Very truly analyzed; hope Honda listens. I had been a customer of Honda Cars since 1999 with the first gen City, Then changed to 2nd gen in 2004 and 3rd Gen 2010. Meanwhile had a Brio also for city errands. But finally after Honda started losing the plot, i shifted over to Hyundai and VW products from 2015 onwards. Often wonder why Honda has not introduced its wide range of Intn'l products, instead it discontinued some very capable products like the Jazz, WRV, BRV and Civic by just not keeping them in tune with time. If this continues, we are not far off from the time when Honda will be history in India. Very sad state of management

Jazz was also the firs hatchback to get sunroof As well as City was the first sedan car to get sunroof

Perfect points as usual Gagan Sir. You're a industry Rock Star. As a owner of Honda cars from last 5 years, and, previous owner of MS for 11 years and Toyota for 3 years...i can confidently say Honda matches Toyota in reliability but is much better in performance than Toyota. I have the exact same thoughts on reasons why Honda is lagging behind. Needless to say - it's extremely disappointing. I fully support your idea - as a representative and auto industry expert, please do your best to give this message to Honda India. I hope they wake up, and, expedite product development and enhancements.

Perfectly explained!

What you said is the feeling, the emotion of all Honda lovers in India. Honda puzzles it's fan with undue delays. Elevate should have come atleast 6 yrs back. Features, they don't give much in India but they give in other countries. 360 degrees camera was there in HRV about 7 to 8 years back internationally. Actually we have been hearing about the launch of HRV since long time. I think it's the price-features matching the company is unable to do with, which is an important issue in Indian market. Maybe that's the cause for BRV failure. Hope we see more cars with good number of features from Honda Cars India

All the points are valid the thing is features that competition offers in that price range in good amount but Honda not offering

What Honda offered in crv in usa like gps , was not given in crv in India even in later models

Honda should have introduced Elevate in the hybrid segment. Would have worked wonders.

i can understand ur frustration n so do i.. i m a big fan of Honda n i have honda City…. civic n accord was by childhood dream but now those dreamzz hve evaporated long back.. My DAD frequently travels to Europe n north America and always insist me to buy CRV coz every American have them well. we dont hve CRV nor we hve civic n either Indian youth hve any excitement towards Honda

excitement is there for Honda... ppl r not well informed.. they don't know wat a proper car is... they go for iPad screens and looks.. wen a car is much more than dashboards and heated seats
