If Honda introduced the Element right now, it might be a hit. SUVs of all shapes and sizes are hugely popular. Add in even the tiniest bit of off-road cred and you've got a recipe for success.
– the Element was a hit when it first arrived on the scene in late 2002. Honda surpassed its original sales projections, but deliveries dwindled as the years passed. Ultimately, Honda discontinued the Element in 2011. As far as we’re concerned, the Element was ahead of its time.With its boxy shape and exaggerated wheel arch cladding, the Element wore its rugged heart on its sleeve. That fun-and-functional design was backed up by an interior that was spacious and super easy to clean.
Of course, the Element is arguably best known for its unique body style, which consisted of two large front doors and a pair of rear-hinged suicide doors. Initially, the front seatbelts were attached to the rear doors, which made it somewhat tough to get in and out of the back seats, but Honda fixed this problem as part of the Element's 2007 model year refresh.
Throughout its entire existence, Honda only offered the Element with a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated I4 engine. Originally available with 160 horsepower, the 2.4-liter engine could be paired with four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmissions, as well as front- or all-wheel drive. The 2007 update brought the addition of 6 hp, for 166 total, and the four-speed automatic was replaced with a more modern five-speed unit.
If the extensive plastic exterior cladding isn't your thing, look for an Element EX-P . Introduced in 2005, the EX-P offered body-colored exterior panels for a $500 upcharge. Honda also
