Honda's versatile, uniquely styled Element gets a number of updates for 2007, including standard stability control and brake assist, standard side curtain airbags, an uprated 2.4-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder engine with 166 horsepower (a bump of 10 hp over the '06 model), a new five-speed automatic transmission (replacing the four-speed automatic available previously), standard keyless entry and styling updates for the instrument panel, steering wheel and radio. The LX and EX trim levels also get new headlight and grille styling, painted fender cladding surfaces (EX) and door handles. The other big news for '07 is the introduction of a new, sport-themed Element SC , which features firmer-riding sport suspension tuning with lowered ride height, 18-inch alloy wheels, revised grille, projector beam headlights and monochromatic color scheme with painted bumpers and trim. The SC interior includes a carpeted floor, a center console with beverage holders, an auxiliary audio input jack and copper-hue meter illumination. The Element SC is available in exclusive-to-this-trim Root Beer Metallic paint. As before, the Element is offered in either standard front- or optional all-wheel drive.
