Honda Element depreciation plays a pivotal role when predicting long‑term ownership costs. Generally, this compact crossover follows typical depreciation patterns seen in the Japanese Smart‑Crossover category. Within the first year, the vehicle’s value can drop by approximately 15‑20 % due to new-model release and early-market supply. Over 3–5 years, depreciation tends to slow, landing around 35–40 % of original MSRP, with a surplus of 50 % or more still retained after a decade for well‑maintained examples.

For a practical look, let’s break indebted tables (general averages, not case‑specific).
