This fall, Honda will be releasing a refreshed and sportier version of the Element. In contrast to the current Honda Element, the SC will add new styling features including Ridgeline-esque headlights, painted exterior panels (as opposed to flat composite), and an "aero-enhanced" grille.

The SC sits lower than the current Element and has a slight bump in power as well--estimates are about 165hp from the 2.4 liter DOHC i-VTEC powerplant. While interior updates are not known for certain, it's been rumored that the SC will have copper-colored appliqué throughout and will also have a carpeted interior to reduce the Spartan nature of its predecessor. More to come soon on Honda's website.
