The 2024 Honda Element is said to be back into the business. The Element was one of the best lineup of Honda that stopped producing for more than 15 years. It seems that Honda is thinking about bringing back the SUV back into the platform by modernizing it. Rumor has it that the new Element would undergo a significant redesigned work to improve its look and to boost its performance. The SUV may retain its small dimension and size, but with better powertrain and newer style, it should be able to attract younger buyer market. Not to mention that the SUV would be handy enough for moving around, camping, and also carrying cargo.
Design and Style
In terms of style, the Element may likely keep its boxy design, but with more modern and functional cabin. Despite its category as a small SUV, the cabin has just enough room and space for 5 adult people within its 2 row layout. Naturally, you can expect better and higher quality upholstery, materials, and also more modern features and technologies.
What about hybrid version? Honda doesn’t say anything about the hybrid version. However, HR-V for Japanese market gets a hybrid version, which means that the new Element will likely get the same treatment. Most auto enthusiasts and experts predict that the Element would be able to cover 35 mpg on electric power alone.
