Looking for the 2011 Honda Element?
Patty Peck Honda offers you the opportunity to take home a crossover sport utility vehicle with a difference, designed to appeal to an active crowd. We're talking about the new 2011 Honda Element.
The versatile four-passenger Element maximizes space for people and cargo while retaining a relatively compact size and car-like driving characteristics. For 2011 the SC trim is no longer available.
Powertrains and Performance
Here at Patty Peck Honda, you will find the Honda Element in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations and a choice of two trim levels: the LX and EX. Both trim levels are equipped with a 166-hp 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, matched with a five-speed automatic transmission.
The all-aluminum Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC) engine produces 166-maximum horsepower at 5800 RPM and 161 lb-ft of torque at 4000 RPM. The Element's i-VTEC variable valve timing system enhances low RPM torque while also delivering high RPM horsepower.
The Element's fully independent suspension uses a front MacPherson strut and a rear compact double wishbone design for responsive handling and a comfortable ride. A 101.4-inch wheelbase contributes to a compact exterior size. An ultra-tight turning diameter of 34.9-feet provides for excellent maneuverability in tight quarters.
The rugged LX is equipped with 16-inch steel wheels, a CD player and air conditioning, while the EX adds further refinements that include alloy wheels, satellite radio, MP3 capability, an auxiliary input jack and a convertible centre console with removable cooler box.
Interior Options
All models include numerous storage bins and beverage holders for items such as mobile phones, audio players and drinks. Storage areas include: a large, three-bin tray above the glove box; a modular three-compartment overhead storage bin (EX); seat back storage (EX); six hooks for strapping down bikes or other bulky gear; and door storage pockets on all four doors. The Element EX exclusively has a convertible center console with a removable cooler/storage box.
Safety
Standard safety features on every Element include anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, front side-impact airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, front anti-whiplash head restraints, and a tire pressure monitor. A voice-activated navigation system with rearview camera and USB audio interface is optional.
