Is a Honda Element an SUV?

When I was in college, my friend had a Honda Element and we used it as our surfer car. Now that I’m newly divorced, I thought I’d relive a bit of my youth and have some excitement by hanging ten. I just want to make sure that the Honda Element is perfect for both the beach and my other errands—is the Element an SUV or is it something a bit smaller?

There’s nothing like riding the waves! The Honda Element is a sort of hybrid between an SUV and a compact crossover. While Honda marketed the Element strictly as a fun SUV, its underpinnings actually make it a compact crossover that’s similar in size to the Honda CR-V.
That said, the Honda Element is a great value buy if you can find one at a good price. It’s become a bit of a collector’s item after it was discontinued in 2011, but one with low miles is certain to keep you going to and from the beach for the foreseeable future.
While you’re shopping around for one of these beachgoers, why not spend a few minutes more to lower your
