accord crosstour

The all-new Honda Accord Crosstour makes its 2010 debut as a crossover hatchback wagon version of the Accord midsize sedan, but offers more interior room (particularly in the back), increased ground clearance, a quieter ride and all-wheel drive capability.

Available in EX and EX-L trim levels, one of the Crosstour’s strengths is V-6 performance, featuring a 271-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. EPA estimated fuel economy ratings range between 17-18 mpg in the city and 25-27 mpg on the highway.

Facing competition from the Subaru Outback and Toyota Venza in the crossover wagon segment, the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour can be had in front- or all-wheel-drive configurations and sits on standard 17-inch or available 18-inch wheels. The front grille is much larger than that of the Accord sedan and dual tailpipes are standard. The five-seat Crosstour’s interior styling and ergonomics is reminiscent of the Accord sedan. EX models feature power front seats, steering wheel-mounted controls, a sunroof, foglights, power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and and a seven-speaker stereo system with a six-CD changer.

EX-L models add heated leather seats, a stereo upgrade, MP3 compatibility, Bluetooth connectivity, driver seat memory functions and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The only available option is a voice-activated navigation system with a backup camera. The second row offers 37.4 inches of legroom. For added cargo room, the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour features a 60/40-split backseat and large storage box under the load floor, which is ideal for hiding valuables so they are not in plain sight of passersby. The Crosstour offers 25.7 cubic feet of room behind the rear seats and maximum cargo capacity is 51.3 cubic feet with rear seats folded.

The 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour offers many standard safety features, including front side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, active front head restraints, antilock brakes with brake assist and electronic stability control.

A larger version of the Accord sedan, the brand-new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour crossover hatchback wagon offers V-6 performance with front- or all-wheel-drive capability and competitive fuel economy.
