2006 Honda 2007 Element SC Prototype

Shows the changes due for the Element

Overview Information

The Element SC concept previews some mid-cycle enhancements to the popular Element utility vehicle that are due for the next model year. Each feature of the SC addresses some noted shortcoming of the current Element. For example, the carpeted cockpit and center console for those that don't need a washable interior. The front seatbelts have been moved to the driver's seat to improve access to the rear through the access doors. A 10hp bump in power won't hurt either. The SC also includes a lowered suspension, painted panels and upsized rims. A version of the SC will join the lineup when the new Elements go on sale in the fall of 2006.

Official Word:

"The Element SC prototype is the city-dwelling, style-conscious brother of the original Element. Instead of features that accommodate outdoor sports and similar activities, the Element SC injects a new dimension of sophistication into the lineup that can best be characterized as 'night performer.'" -- Dick Colliver, executive vice president of American Honda
