2003: The 2003 Element was launched with two trim levels — DX and EX. All-wheel drive models came with a large rear moonroof. All trim levels came with a 160 hp 2.4L K24A4 4-cylinder engine shared with the 7th generation North American Honda Accord. Production and sales began in December 2002. Side airbags became an option later in the model year on the EX models.

2004: A mid-range LX trim level between the DX and the premium EX trim levels. Keyless entry was made standard on EX models.^[17]

2005: The LX model featured revised front seats with a passenger seat armrest. The DX model was eliminated. XM satellite radio and MP3 capabilities were added as standard features in the audio system for the EX model. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard. The charcoal gray plastic tone was darkened and a navy blue was offered with the Satin Silver Metallic paint. Hub Caps on the LX were changed to cover the entire wheel.^[18] Fuel economy was officially 19 miles per US gallon (12.4 l/100 km) City, 23 miles per US gallon (10.2 l/100 km) Highway; 20 miles per US gallon (11.8 l/100 km) Combined^[19]

2006: A fully painted version called the EX-P became available for an extra US$500. It came with a 5-speed manual transmission or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission.

2007: The 2007 Element received a mild refresh, which included 6 hp increase to 166 hp, along with a 5-speed automatic transmission replacing the 4-speed automatic transmission. The front seat belts shoulder mounting location was relocated to the front seat backs rather than the rear doors — allowing rear-seat occupants to exit the vehicle without a front occupant having to unbuckle. Side airbags became standard, as did electronic stability control. The plastic latticework grille was replaced by silver-colored slats. A new trim level called the SC was offered with a different front bumper and grille, lowered suspension and 18-inch alloy wheels, projector headlamps, “tribal print” seat fabric, center console, and carpeted floors in the seating areas. Unlike the other trim packages, the SC had a non-removable center console and was unavailable with all-wheel drive.

2008: The only change from the 2007 Element was the addition of the color Royal Blue Pearl for the SC trim.^[20]

2009: New color combinations for the dashboard became available.^[21] For 2009, the Honda Element received an optional navigation system, outside temperature display and minor exterior revisions. The hood and grill were redesigned, the front fenders were now all metal rather than painted composite material,^[21] and the wheel arches were squared off.^[21] The rear moon-roof was no longer available for 2009-2011. 2009 was the last year of availability for the 5-speed manual transmission, it was available on AWD EX and FWD SC trims.

2010: For 2010, Honda Element offered LX, EX, EX with Navigation, and SC trim levels. Only the EX-4WD trim was available with a 5-speed manual transmission.

2011: For 2011, the option of a navigation system and the sporty SC trim level have been dropped. The Royal Blue Pearl color was also eliminated. Honda discontinued the Element in early 2011
