2009 Honda Element Priced at $20,175
Honda announced that the restyled 2009 Element will go on sale today with a starting price of $20,175, excluding a $670 destination charge. The base model comes standard with a five-speed automatic, unlike last year’s, which came with a manual for $18,980. The price bump from a 2008 LX with the automatic is less than $500.
To the casual observer, there are no major design changes for the 2009 versions, although there is a new front grille and bumper design, as well as altered headlights.
The Element will come in three trims, the most basic being the 2WD LX. Upgrading to the EX or SC will have a noticeable benefit in the form of an optional navigation system, which wasn’t offered on the Element before. The nav system includes voice activation, a rearview camera and a USB port for media players. Full pricing is listed below.
