Since renowned “Drift King” Keiichi Tsuchiya has these accessories installed on his Honda Odyssey, Honda Dog merchandise has become well-known in Japan. Honda has a history of producing dog-friendly vehicles.

Made in India Honda Elevate
As mentioned earlier, Honda manufactures the Elevate at its Tapukara plant in Rajasthan for both local and international markets. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine of the Japanese-made WR-V model is nearly identical to the Elevate model that is sold in India; the only difference is that the CVT automatic transmission is the only available option there. In March of last year, Honda announced that 6,809 WR-V Elevate SUVs had been delivered to Japan.
