Unorthodox.
Just one glance tells you the Element was built for those who live their own unique way. Some people have lots of places to go, tons of things to do and loads of essentials to take along. The Element takes functionality to the extreme so you can do whatever on your own terms. A deeper look reveals its tremendous utility. Wide-opening cargo doors let you load up from either flank. Or you can use the clamshell tailgate. A tall cargo hold and configure-it-64-ways seating gives you flexible freedom for almost anything you're up to. And the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has given it 5-star frontal- and 5-star side-impact ratings*. So pack it up, jump in, and live beyond the ordinary.
* National Highway Traffic Safety Administration frontal-and side-impact crash tests. Model tested with standard side-impact airbags (SABs). Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Administration's (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), found at safercar.gov.
2WD LX
With standard features like air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD audio system with four speakers, the 2WD LX blends value with practicality. This Element is for those who want something a little different as well as highly functional.
2WD EX
The EX adds more features, while still retaining a rugged and purposeful design. Along with standard body-colored panels, several key features are added to all EX models. The most impressive of which has to be the 270-watt audio system.

4WD LX
For those who desire enhanced traction, the Element 4WD LX blends value with versatility and coddles its occupants with standard LX features like air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD audio system with 4 speakers. The 4WD LX with Real Time 4WD gets you where you need to go in comfort and style.
4WD EX
The 4WD EX is the perfect Element for those who frequent the beach or the slopes (or both), especially when you consider the versatility and performance offered with 4WD and the addition of a removable skylight.
