Honda Element

The Element is Honda's crossover sport utility vehicle with a difference, designed to appeal to an active crowd. The versatile four-passenger Element maximizes space for people and cargo while retaining a relatively compact size and car-like driving characteristics. For 2011 the SC trim is no longer available.

The Honda Element is available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations and a choice of two trim levels: the LX and EX. Both trim levels are equipped with a 166-hp 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, matched with a five-speed automatic transmission. The rugged LX is equipped with 16-inch steel wheels, a CD player and air conditioning, while the EX adds further refinements that include alloy wheels, satellite radio, MP3 capability, an auxiliary input jack and a convertible centre console with removable cooler box. Standard safety features on every Element include anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, front side-impact airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, front anti-whiplash head restraints, and a tire pressure monitor. A voice-activated navigation system with rearview camera and USB audio interface is optional.

The Honda Element carries over from 2010. The SC trim is no longer available.
