For the 2007 model year, Honda's versatile and fun-to-drive Element undergoes a significant transformation with updated exterior and interior styling along with enhanced levels of safety equipment and more horsepower. An all-new variation of the Element, the Element SC, debuts with a uniquely aggressive styling inside and out along with a sport-tuned suspension and exclusive features.
All 2007 Elements will provide a core suite of standard safety equipment that goes beyond government requirements and includes side curtain airbags, driver's and front passenger's side airbags with OPDS, ABS, and Vehicle Stability Assist(TM) (VSA) for all light trucks. The addition of these features fulfills the goals of Honda's "Safety for Everyone" initiative introduced in 2003.
