2010 Honda Element

The Honda Element is an SUV model from Honda that scores high inn utility and comfort. The spacious nature of the Element helps it remain a highly sought after model in its class.

The first thing, anyone will notice about Honda Element will be the unobstructed space offered in the vehicle. The reason for that is the design keeps utility in mind. The 2.4-litre i-VTEC engine offered in the model delivers 160 horsepower that assures performance that is second to none. The torque produced by the engine and the towing capacity of 1500 pounds makes the engine attractive compared to any SUV in its class. The four-wheel drive factor makes all terrain surfaces look smooth and easy to navigate.

‘Honda Progressive Valve’ shock absorbers offered in the Honda Element offers great comfort for the passengers. These shock absorbers make use of the low-pressure gas and the ‘high-density’ compression bushings for smoothly absorbing even the minutest of vibrations. With this technology, the Honda Element is among the most innovative vehicles offered in the market.

Even though the 2010 Honda Element has undergone many significant changes in appearance, the overall look remains the same. The major change applied in the newer version of the Element is the front grille. The front grille was modified to give a typical Honda look to the model. Even though the front fenders are not made up of metal, the rear fenders are still plastic-composite. Apart from the EX and LX models, Honda Element is offered as an SC model too. SC stands for street custom and has a lowered ride height with monochromatic color scheme, a charcoal grille and an 18-inch alloy wheels. The chassis on the model is similar to that of the Honda Civic.

All-wheel drive and a versatile interior makes it unique. The ground clearance of the new Honda Element is 6.9-inches, but the high roof makes it one of the tallest SUVs in its class. The side doors of the model are unique as it opens like the covering of a book. It is a small SUV that seats just four passengers. However, the main drawback is that the back doors cannot be opened without opening the front doors.

Manual transmission is not available on the Honda Element. The Honda Element is equipped with a ‘five speed’ automatic transmission. The 2.4-liter engine delivers 166 horsepower. Other features such as antilock control and ‘four-wheel’ disc brakes make the model highly desirable among the people who are concerned about safety above anything. Even though, not all people agree that the Honda Element is good-looking, it is still among the highly sought after SUV models in the market because of its affordability and utility.
