2004 Honda Element EX for sale in CA

Meet a standout example of Honda versatility and reliability: this 2004 Honda Element EX finished in eye-catching Galapagos Green Metallic with a clean Gray interior. This Element pairs Honda’s dependable 2.4L I4 (160 hp / 161 lb-ft) with efficient real-world fuel economy — about 20 MPG city and 24 MPG highway — and has been gently used, with fewer than 155,000 miles (averaging under 7,000 miles per year). It’s in excellent overall condition, has a clean CARFAX, and shows only one prior owner. If you’re looking for a practical, durable, and characterful vehicle that still feels fresh and ready for daily life and weekend adventures, this Element is a great fit.

Engine, driving feel, and efficiency
- Powered by Honda’s naturally aspirated 2.4L inline-4 that makes a responsive 160 horsepower and 161 lb-ft of torque, the Element delivers smooth, linear power for city driving, highway cruising, and light towing or gear-hauling.
- The combination of efficient engine tuning and the vehicle’s sensible gearing yields the listed EPA-style economy of approximately 20 MPG in town and 24 MPG on the highway — excellent for a versatile utility vehicle of this era.
- The driving position is upright with excellent outward visibility thanks to the Element’s boxy shape, making parking and daily commuting comfortable and confidence-inspiring.

Exterior — Galapagos Green Metallic
- The Galapagos Green Metallic exterior is a unique, memorable color that stands out from the typical neutrals — it shows personality without being flashy.
- The Element’s iconic, squared-off silhouette maximizes interior space and cargo capacity while maintaining a compact footprint for city maneuverability.
- Practical exterior details include roof rails for crossbars and cargo solutions, large glass areas for visibility, and wide-opening rear tailgate and rear-hinged side doors that allow easy loading of cargo and excellent accessibility to rear seats.

Interior — Gray, durable and thoughtful design
- The Gray interior is clean, bright, and remarkably durable — the Element was designed with active lifestyles in mind. Many Elements have water-resistant or easily washable seat materials and floor surfaces that make cleaning after muddy pets, beach trips, or sporting gear quick and stress-free.
- Front bucket seats provide good support and an upright, commanding seating position. The cabin is laid out simply and ergonomically with easily reachable HVAC and audio controls.
- The rear space is one of the Element’s biggest strengths: rear seats fold flat and can be removed or positioned against the sidewalls to create an expansive, flat cargo floor. This flexible seating/cargo arrangement makes the Element ideal for bikes, camping gear, moving boxes, or weekend project materials.
- Large door openings and the practical rear-hinged “suicide” doors grant exceptional access for passengers and loading.

Factory-equipped convenience & comfort highlights
- Air conditioning and climate controls designed for easy, effective cabin comfort.
- Cruise control for relaxed highway driving.
- Power accessories including power windows, power door locks, and power-adjustable mirrors to add convenience to everyday use.
- Remote keyless entry for quick access and security.
- AM/FM stereo with CD capability and a clean, audible speaker setup to enjoy music, podcasts or audiobooks on every trip.
- Tilt steering wheel for an adjustable, comfortable driving position.
- Interior storage solutions and durable cargo tie-downs to secure loads and keep small items organized.

Safety & build quality
- Honda’s reputation for solid construction and longevity is evident throughout this Element. The boxy design not only maximizes space but also contributes to predictable handling.
- Factory safety systems include multiple airbags and a robust occupant cabin design. The vehicle has clean documentation and a one-owner history that supports its well-maintained condition.
