For the 2011 model year, the Honda Element drops its youth-oriented SC trim that was added to the 2007 model. There’s no more navigation option on the EX trim, either. Besides that, the features are the same on the remaining trims, with no additional content.
According to Honda’s retail website, the Dog Friendly package added last year is still a $1,000 option. You can check out our video review of that package here.
The Element is available in LX and EX trims. The LX comes standard with air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and keyless entry. The EX adds seven speakers, including a 6.5-inch subwoofer, satellite radio, auxiliary input for MP3 players and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls.
Both trims come with a 166-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a five-speed automatic transmission with either front- or all-wheel drive. Fuel economy is rated at 20/25 mpg city/highway for front-wheel drive and 19/24 mpg for all-wheel drive.
The 2011 Element starts at $20,825. All trims get a $300 price bump from the previous model year. The 2011 Element remains pretty much the same model that debuted in 2003, which makes it one of the older models currently on sale in the U.S. market. For complete pricing, continue reading below.
