For the 2007 model year, Honda's versatile and fun-to-drive Element undergoes a significant transformation with updated exterior and interior styling along with enhanced levels of safety equipment and more horsepower. An all-new variation of the Element, the Element SC, debuts with a uniquely aggressive styling inside and out along with a sport-tuned suspension and exclusive features.
All 2007 Elements will provide a core suite of standard safety equipment that goes beyond government requirements and includes side curtain airbags, driver's and front passenger's side airbags with OPDS, ABS, and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA) for all light trucks. The addition of these features fulfills the goals of Honda's "Safety for Everyone" initiative introduced in 2003.
