Honda has recently filed patents suggesting potential plans for new vehicles, including a boxy, off-road-oriented SUV reminiscent of the Honda Element and a compact pickup truck featuring innovative cargo management options.
The first patent describes a squared-off SUV with significant ground clearance and a camper attachment, similar to the Honda Element known for its unique design and loyal following. The vehicle in the patent features a camper that attaches to the back and top, including expandable extensions to increase the vehicle’s size.

The second patent outlines a compact pickup truck equipped with an adjustable cargo partition. This truck, aimed possibly at competing with models like the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz, offers flexibility in bed length through a movable divider. The design emphasizes ruggedness and functionality, with a blocky appearance and a unique A-pillar structure.
While these patents suggest Honda’s exploration of new vehicle concepts, including potentially resurrecting the Element or similar models, it’s important to note that not all patented concepts make it to production. Automakers frequently file patents for various designs that may or may not materialize into commercial products. Despite the intriguing nature of these designs, their production remains uncertain at this stage.
