2011 Honda Element Interior, Exterior Styling

The exterior of the 2011 Honda Element is both impressive and eye-catching, its boxy look giving the vehicle a unique squared-off clean look that stands out against the sameness of all those other homogenous cars and trucks on the road. Many people may call the look unconventional, but it is still stylish -- in fact, it might be called a re-invention of style.

The interior is intended for function, with very little added solely for visual appeal. For anyone with a family with members of every age, or with pets who need to be taken here and there, the utilitarian low-maintenance easy-cleaning floor is simply wonderful, allowing quick clean-up of spills and messes -- sand, dirt, mud and animal messes all wipe up easily. You can even use the garden hose inside the vehicle to spray down and clean off the front floor, back floor and cargo area.

The ability to remove or fold up rear seats makes the rear half of the 2011 Honda Element a versatile area for receiving and carrying any cargo that will fit through the wide doors and high-opening tailgate.

The front half of the vehicle also allows for convenient storage -- there's a center console to hold the items a driver always needs right away, and overhead storage for all the other stuff. The center console even has space for a removable cooler.

Every version of the 2011 Honda Element is spacious, and each one offers tons of options for carrying both people and cargo.
