The Crosstour is Honda's attempt at a crossover vehicle, mixing the practical cabin space of an SUV with the drivability of a sedan. With its all-wheel-drive system, the Crosstour competes with the Subaru Outback.
Although Honda's SUVs, built on car platforms, qualify as crossovers, the Accord Crosstour looks the part. Honda bases the Crosstour on the Accord platform, giving it a hatchback, raising the ride height, and adding optional all-wheel-drive.
The Crosstour uses the standard Accord grille, yet has more controversial looks down the side. Its curvy design gives it a bubble butt, somewhat like the Porsche Panamera.
Although Honda offers a four cylinder in the Accord sedan, the Crosstour can only be had with this 3.5-liter V-6. Active cylinder management helps its freeway fuel economy.
The steering feels a little vague on the Crosstour. It makes highway cruising easy, requiring casual input, but doesn't offer any sort of precision feel.
The rearview camera shows distance lines, but no trajectory lines. It is extremely useful in the Crosstour, as the car's design limits the view out the back.
