2025 Honda Ballade 1.5 Elegance

The 2025 Honda Ballade 1.5 Elegance is a stylish and well-equipped compact sedan that strikes a solid balance between comfort, technology, and efficiency. Powered by a 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine producing 89?kW and 145?Nm of torque, it uses a smooth CVT transmission that prioritizes fuel efficiency—averaging around 5.5?L/100?km. The Elegance trim offers a range of modern features, including an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic air-conditioning, cruise control, electric windows and mirrors, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel. It also includes safety features like multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, Vehicle Stability Assist, and rear parking sensors. While it doesn’t come with full LED headlights or leather seats (those are reserved for the RS model), it still provides a comfortable and refined driving experience. The Ballade’s improved dimensions give it a more planted and sleek appearance, and it remains one of the more practical and fuel-efficient sedans in its class. However, buyers seeking more premium features like a sunroof or full leather interior may need to consider the higher-end RS variant.
