The 2.4L 4-cyl Element: common questions

Which Element years have the 2.4L 4-cyl?

2003–2011 — 10 model years in our VIN decode, across 78 factory configurations and 48,088 VINs.

What does a 2.4L 4-cyl Element cost?

$8,400 is the typical asking price across the 498 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

K24A4 — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
