Honda Crosstour — Specs, Trims, Prices & Owner Reviews

The Honda Crosstour is a mid-size crossover built on the eighth-generation North American Accord, with a raised ride height and a long, sharply sloping fastback roofline over a five-door hatchback body. It launched in November 2009 as the Accord Crosstour and dropped the Accord prefix for the 2012 model year, by which point Honda was marketing it as a stand-alone model rather than an Accord derivative. Every U.S. car was built at Honda's East Liberty, Ohio plant.

Honda Crosstour: General Information

The Honda Crosstour is a mid-size crossover built on the eighth-generation North American Accord, with a raised ride height and a long, sharply sloping fastback roofline over a five-door hatchback body. It launched in November 2009 as the Accord Crosstour and dropped the Accord prefix for the 2012 model year, by which point Honda was marketing it as a stand-alone model rather than an Accord derivative. Every U.S. car was built at Honda's East Liberty, Ohio plant.

Buyers chose between a 2.4-litre i-VTEC four with a five-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, or a 3.5-litre i-VTEC V6 with a six-speed automatic, Variable Cylinder Management and the option of Honda's Real Time 4WD system. Because it rides on Accord underpinnings the Crosstour drives more like a large hatchback than a truck-based SUV — quiet, composed and comfortable — while offering 25.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 51.3 cubic feet with them folded, plus a hidden underfloor storage bin and a reversible cargo panel.

The Crosstour's styling was polarising and sales never met Honda's expectations; the sloping roof also ate into rear headroom and rearward visibility. Honda announced on 8 April 2015 that it would end Crosstour production at the close of the 2015 model year to free up Ohio capacity for the CR-V and Acura crossovers, and the last car was built on 31 August 2015. Only 9,104 were sold in the United States in that final year.
