Is the 2025 Honda Element Really Coming Back? Here’s What We Know!

Is the 2025 Honda Element Ready to Make a Comeback as the Ultimate Adventure CUV?

Honda is generating a lot of buzz in the automotive world, with recent successes in the first half of 2024 alongside Toyota in North America. While Toyota and General Motors fought for the top spot, Honda reported a 9.3% sales increase compared to 2023, selling over 690,000 vehicles, even as the overall market barely moved forward. Honda has big plans for the future, with the all-electric Prologue and Acura ZDX set to launch soon, and the refreshed 2025 Civic lineup, especially the new Civic Hybrid, taking center stage. Additionally, Honda is already teasing its adventurous 2026 Passport TrailSport SUV, described as the most adventure-ready Honda yet. But is there more coming?

While Honda hasn't officially announced it, some believe there could be another surprise in store—a revival of the quirky Honda Element. Though not supported by rumors, digital car content creator Vince Burlapp, a CGI artist, has speculated on this possibility, drawing inspiration from patent images dating back to 2022 that showed a future SUV and a compact pickup truck. Burlapp suggests that Honda might be planning to release a smaller SUV and truck that would slot below the 2025 HR-V and 2024 Ridgeline.

His idea? Honda could bring back the Honda Element, a compact crossover SUV originally built in Ohio, and reimagine it as an adventure-ready CUV. Burlapp envisions it as a vehicle based on the Civic Hybrid platform, complete with all-wheel drive (AWD) capabilities. He argues that it would make perfect sense to resurrect the Element, given the growing popularity of rugged, overlanding SUVs like the Ford Bronco Sport. A new Element could be Honda's answer to this trend, offering adventurous buyers a unique option.

However, Burlapp also admits that Honda has become more conservative in recent years, focusing less on taking risks and innovating. This cautious approach could mean that the Honda Element’s return might remain a dream, despite its potential appeal. The idea of a modular compact pickup truck from Honda, possibly hybrid-powered to compete with Ford’s highly successful Maverick, also seems unlikely at this point.
