The 2009 Honda Element gets freshened styling and some new features. This box-like compact SUV seats four and has rear-hinged rear side doors that don’t open independently of the front doors. The only engine is a 166-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder that teams with a manual or automatic transmission.

Maximum towing capacity is 1500 lb. Element comes in LX, EX, and sport-themed SC trim levels, and all are available with front-wheel drive. LX and EX also offer all-wheel drive. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags.

The rear seat divides into two 30-lb sections that swing up or remove. SCs have a lowered sport suspension, 18-inch wheels, specific front styling, and unique trim. Newly available on Element EX and SC are a voice-activated navigation system and rearview camera (automatic transmission only).
