Honda Elevate dog friendly edition
The Honda Elevate, which is made in India and exported to Japan as the WR-V, has a new pet-friendly special edition in the Asian market. At a fair in Tokyo meant to ‘enrich life for people and pets’, the Japanese company introduced the WR-V accessorised by Honda Dog, which has official accessories from the Honda Access brand.
In order to turn the WR-V into an extremely capable doggy carrier, the front passenger seat gets a carrier that can accommodate two small dogs and a grey pet door cover. The rear seats have a pet seat circle recommended for small and medium-sized dogs, along with anchorages for attaching leashes. One can choose to add additional stickers on the inside as well.

The exterior has a unique black plastic grille, somewhat reminiscent of AMG’s ‘Panamericana’ grille, chrome additions around the light units and bottom of the grille, a WR-V badge above the front fender, and a ‘Honda Dog’ sticker on the doors. One can also opt to have dog paw-themed aluminum wheel caps and dog-themed key covers.
Honda Dog merchandise gained fame in Japan as famed ‘Drift King’, Keiichi Tsuchiya, has these accessories installed on his Honda Odyssey. Honda has a history of coming out with dog-friendly models – the Japanese brand had showcased a Honda Element Concept in California, in 2009, that had been fitted with various canine-specific enhancements.
