Hot doggin' in 2010 Element: Honda's SUV offers pooch-friendly options New York Daily News

09.02.10

If you’ve seen it once, then you’ve seen it a million times − drivers with undersized dogs on their laps. Faithfully bonded, poochy sits behind the disc with dog-loving driver. How cute.

Honda − whose motto is sanctuary for everyone − has come up with a “pet accommodation system,” as they call it. The all-new dog good-natured Honda Element debuts for the 2010 model year.

The Element is already one of the most durable get-it-grimy-then-hose-it-down sport utility vehicles on the market. No elaborate-end fabrics, wood grains, sophisticated powerplants or extravagant-tech gadgets to worry about damaging. It’s suited to be a kennel.

Honda turns out perfectly a fashionable dog Element. The soil-proof upholstery has a print of mini dog bones. Even the thick rubber destroy mats in the first and second rows have the pattern of toy dog bones carved into the rubber.

The earnest functionality of transporting your pet is in the rear, where Honda has its own factory precision nylon-webbed car kennel. The dog can lie comfortably on a padded pet bed zippered inside the webbed kennel. There’s also a tokus ventilation fan, a spill-resistant water bottle and a ascent for dogs that are not able to hop out of the vehicle on their own. Besides the nice digs, the dog is good, which keeps it safe and restrained while driving.

Honda Debuts Dog Friendly Element

The Honda Element has steadily been cited by critics among the most pet-friendly vehicles available today.  It appears this feedback has not gone unperceived by the Japanese manufacturer who recently displayed a “dog unreserved” version of the Element at the NY Auto Show.  I was fortunate to accompany this show and Honda did a great job of demonstrating the thoughtful design of this special version Element.

Honda says the dog friendly Element is scheduled to arrive in dealerships this Fail and while details are still being finalized, expect the affordable SUV (around $21,0000 USD) to turn out equipped with a cushioned pet bed with safety restraints in the cargo field, spill-resistant water bowl, ventilation fan and last but not least, an integrated descent. The integrated ramp aids the dog’s ingress and egress from the Element bum hatch.  While I’m sure Honda used professionally trained dogs during the show, they appeared to have no formidableness using the ramp in the brief demonstration I witnessed in New York.
