The Honda Element, frequently seen around Denver really looks the part of a Colorado utility vehicle. Whether the Element appeals for shopping and running errands around town, or mountain excursions (or both), it’s a unique entrant in the lineup of available Honda models.
The Honda Element is one of the more recent models to become associated with the Honda brand. And in Denver, Colorado, the Honda Element is one of the more popular automobiles in the compact SUV category. First introduced in the United States in 2003, the Honda Element strikes a balance of utility, style and efficiency in an attractive all-around package. The 4-seat Element is designed to carry large (and possibly messy) loads. The floor is made of textured urethane that is easy to clean. The rear clamshell tailgate arrangement is large and the vehicle is tall, allowing large loads to be carried. The Honda Element has won it’s share of recognition too. The Element was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award for 2003 and won MotorWeek’s 2003 “Driver’s Choice Award” for “Best Small Sport-Utility Vehicle”.
The Honda Element has some great safety features. From its Side-Impact door beams to Side Curtain Airbags with Rollover Sensor, the Element represents an evolving and comprehensive approach to safety. Standard on every Element, is a complement of advanced safety systems to keep drivers out of trouble and in command such as Vehicle Stability Assist. Vehicle Stability Assist helps sense oversteer or understeer in an emergency situation, and then adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore driver control and keep you on course.
Along with Side-Impact Door Beams and front and rear crush zones, the Element was built with a highly rigid Unit-Body Construction to lessen intrusion into the passenger cabin. This reinforced body structure is designed to target the highest safety ratings for occupant protection. It all adds up to impressive safety performance. For proof, look to the latest findings of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which recognized the Element as a ‘2008 Top Safety Pick’.
