There are no cosmetic changes to the CNG powered Amaze and Elevate.

Honda has officially commenced the sale of CNG variants of the Elevate and Amaze in the Indian market. These models are equipped with retrofitted CNG kits that are installed at the dealership level. According to Honda, these CNG kits have received government approval. However, customers must visit an authorized dealership to place an order, as bookings for the CNG variants are not available through the online platform.

The Honda Elevate is an India-first product that the company says has been tailor-made for the customers here.

There have been no cosmetic alterations made to the CNG versions of the Elevate and Amaze. The CNG tank will be located in the boot, which will result in a reduction of boot space. The only modification to the interior will be the inclusion of a button that allows the driver to switch between CNG and petrol fuel sources.
