The 2009 Honda Element. And now for something completely different. You could say the Element's bold redesigned grille with integrated wrap-around headlights makes it stand out more than ever. You could even say the new fender design gives it a more stylish streamlined character. But maybe all you need to know is the new Element is as cool as utility comes.
When it comes to interior versatility, the Element has one thing in mind – everything. With a total of 64 different seating configurations, it has been designed to adapt to your active lifestyle in every way, shape and form. If you need extra cargo space, flip up and clip the rear seats to the sides of the cabin. If you need even more space, remove them altogether. If you need room for something bigger, such as a bike or two, or easy access to the cargo area or a flat surface to work on, simply fold down the clamshell tailgate. And if at the end of an adventurous day you feel the need to stretch out and relax, the Element is happy to oblige with flat-folding driver and front passenger seats.
If it's adventure you're looking for, you'll find it faster in an Element. From the smooth handling of its solid unit body frame to the interior versatility of all those seating configurations, the Element was made to help you explore the great outdoors. Its strength comes from a powerful yet efficient 2.4-litre, i-VTEC®, 4-cylinder engine with 166 horsepower.
Its athletic nature comes from its available Real Time 4WD® and compact 4-wheel independent suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars. And as a low-emission vehicle with a Tier 2 Bin 5 rating, the Element has a conscience that's cleaner than most.
