Element2011 Honda

Sure, it may look a little square at first, but the Element is all about fun, flexibility and most of all, freedom. With 64 different seating positions, a powerful 2.4-liter i-VTEC® engine and available Real Time™ 4-wheel drive, the Element was built for those who appreciate the unlimited possibilities that life brings.

Never get boxed in.

Versatility. The Element can quickly adapt to your needs. Fold the seats flat and take a nap. Need more room for gear? Flip up the rear seats or take them out altogether.

Premium tunes. To keep things pumping, Element EX features a 270-watt audio system with seven speakers, including a subwoofer. An MP3/auxiliary input jack and XM Radio2 let you really expand your listening options.

Keep it handy. Because there’s a place for almost everything, everything can be in its place. The large overhead console on EX is the perfect spot for all those things you need easy access to, like sunglasses, CDs and cell phones.

Road trip equipped.

Considering its massive headroom, legroom and numerous storage areas for drinks and snacks, it’s no wonder that the Element is a road-trip favorite. Its durable, spill-resistant surfaces mean it can handle trip after trip with nary a nick to show for it.

Chill out. The Element EX’s center console isn’t just about stowing your stuff. It also features a removable cooler. Just slide it out to take some beverages with you or to make room for extra-long items – like a surfboard.

Designed from the outset to be as flexible as possible, the Element is a case study in how to maximize every square inch of interior space.1 Flip up the rear seats, fold them flat or take them out altogether to accommodate whatever the weekend’s activities call for.

Honda reminds you to properly secure items stored in the cargo area.

Safe and secure. Tie-down anchors, cargo area hooks, multiple storage bins and driver-side seatback bungees (EX) make quick work of securing even the most unruly gear.

Make themost of it.

Man’s best friend’s best friend. One

of the most pet-friendly vehicles ever is even better with the Dog Friendly Honda Element Package, available on select models. The specially designed collection of accessories includes a stowable ramp, pet bed, water bowl, and more. Please see your Honda dealer for details, or you can go to dogfriendly.honda.com.

Oversteer Understeer VSA

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA).† Standard on every Element, VSA employs sensors to monitor for oversteer or understeer. It adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore the vehicle to its intended path.

Brake Assist and EBD. Brake Assist, a component of the anti-lock braking system (ABS), helps apply full braking force in some emergency situations. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) helps balance braking forces depending upon dynamic loading.

Unit-body construction. Incorporating front and rear crumple zones, the Element’s chassis is designed to minimize the amount of crash energy entering the passenger compartment. Side-impact door beams help provide enhanced structural protection and help reduce the likelihood of cabin intrusion.

Always play safe. The Element has a full complement of standard safety

features including six airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System3 (TPMS).

* Honda reminds you and your passengers to always buckle up. Children 12 and under are safest when properly restrained in the rear seat.† VSA is not a substitute for safe driving. It cannot correct the vehicle’s course in every situation or compensate for reckless driving.

Control of the vehicle always remains with the driver.

Six standard airbags. The Element features dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags, front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) and side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor.*
