| The 2011 Honda Element will be the final model year of production of
the innovative and functional crossover utility vehicle, American
Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today. First introduced in concept
form as the Honda Model X at the 2001 North American International Auto
Show, the Element virtually created its own functional class and
became an immediate favorite for small businesses, outdoor enthusiasts
and pet owners. After a long life cycle, utility-seeking customers have
more recently embraced other vehicles in the Honda lineup like the
versatile and comfortable CR-V.
“The Element proved that ultimate
functionality can often come from thinking inside the box,” said John
Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda. “It made boxy
vehicle designs cool, and Element owners continue to enjoy its unique
styling and unmatched versatility.”
Developed from the inside-out, the Honda
Element entered new territory when it debuted during the 2003 model
year by providing a multi-functional cargo area, innovative and
versatile seating, a durable and dirt-friendly interior, energetic
performance and outstanding value. Major upgrades were made through the
years including more power and safety features in the 2007 model year.
More recently, the Element embraced its long-held position as a
pet-friendly vehicle by introducing the Dog Friendly Element accessory
package in 2009.
More than 325,000 Elements have been sold in the United States since its introduction in December 2002.
