New Honda Element 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 (20th Anniversary Edition), 2024, 2025
2001 Honda Model X Concept
This photo is 20 years old and the original concept for the Element.
Sorry to burst your bubble. I too once believed those “New Element” articles.
None of the following screen captures are links to the video or article. The click stops here.
Unfortunately, a 2021 Element is not happening; new models come out in the Fall previous to the model year. This would put the 2021 Element at Honda dealers in the Fall of 2020 or less than three months from today.
When Honda announces a new Element, I’ll listen; everything else is just the same rumor designed to grab your attention, aka "click bait". Honda is a massive company, with a huge marketing budget; when they launch a new product, they'll let us know.
“But what about that one person, that said they know a person, who knows…”
These click bait videos and articles have come out every year since Element production ended. In this "click bait video" at the 1:20 mark, this person says that you “can hose it out”. Why would anyone listen to someone that is already sharing misinformation? This person gets tons of clicks on these videos and most of them are just ranting and complaining.
If you want actual repair advice, specifically Element related,
I suggest watching "Eric the Car Guy" instead.
This video, along with all the articles are to entice you to "click on them" so they can make ad money.
STOP REPOSTING these videos and articles, you're encouraging them to produce more and they’re profiting from it. These articles and videos are not unique to the Element, search for 2021 models of any beloved discontinued Honda... Prelude, s2000, CRX, del sole, Crosstour. It's all the same "click bait" articles written for quick and easy ad money!
“I overheard at my local Honda dealer, it’s definitely coming back and they are already taking orders”
UMM, OK… I suggest you do not take everything spoken or written as the truth….If you’re interested in the truth, you now have to seek it out and validate it from many sources. The world we live in moves fast and headlines are for clicks. This BLOG uses headlines for clicks; however, we do not run ads or profit from your clicks. We simply want to inform you about a vehicle we love, get you out in the world exploring, and hopefully make a sale of our system to a few of you.
Element sales were not on par with other Honda’s, if you’re wondering why they were discontinued in the first place. Honda is looking to sell millions and this decline in sales seemed like it would never even get close.
The Honda CR-V sold 451,300 worldwide in 2011 vs 11,534 Elements. This is close to 40 CR-V sales for every Element sold. The CR-V simply appealed to more buyers, had better fuel economy, held an additional passenger, and, like it, or not, a more finished carpeted interior.
These are the sales figures report by American Honda:
2002 957
2003 67,478
2004 59,227
2005 26,262
2006 51,829
2007 35,218
2008 26,447
2009 14,884
2010 14,247
2011 14,000*
*2011 Final numbers are estimated. All numbers are for the calendar year and not model year. Total 335,549 for the US market.
The only “new” Element you will find in our near future.
While we all love our Elements, do we really want to pay $30,000+ plus for a new one? I bought a “new car” once, it was fun, but worrying about every new scratch, crazy payments, and high insurance, no thanks. Technically Honda replaced the Element with the HR-V if you really want to dive deeper into this. Bringing back the Element will only cut into sales of the already popular CR-V and HRV. Also, be careful what you wish for, if Honda did decide to bring it back, would it actually be better? Many models that have seen a second release are often underwhelming and missing the charm of the original.
The click stops here!
While we’re not an official authority on the Element, we’ve seen these articles for 8+ years.
To date, every single one of these articles/videos has been false and on a site with many ads. Not one of them is posted without ads; decide for yourself why they exist.
f we hear about it, and have actual information, we’ll happily share it with all of you!
Until then… take care of your Elements and I’ll see you at a meetup someday soon.
Below is a collection of past articles and photos of the “New Element” and the Honda N-Box.
Slide show of the “New Honda Element” from 2015 - 2019. Many articles only changed the title, reposting the same lie as last year with an updated headline. Stop clicking on them… or at least stop sharing them on Social where they get even more clicks, it’s perpetual and we are the reason.
Together we can stop this; it requires zero effort; just do literally anything else with your time besides reading or reposting them.
This is also not the new Element; it’s the Honda N-Box that has been produced since 2011 and looks very nice, but isn’t available in the United States. While it appears very similar, it is much smaller than it appears and is less than half the weight of the Element. The N-Box and other Kei Cars are often used as the “New Element” in many articles.
Love and want this trailer combo, unfortunately it’s just a Honda concept.
And finally, a long list of “click bait” articles of the 2020 Honda Element.
Again, this is a screen grab; they are not clickable links to the trash articles.
The internet is a wild place; always consider the source of any information you find online.
