About the 2010 Honda Crosstour

1st generation, first model year; the vehicle debuts for 2010 as the Accord Crosstour before the model was later shortened to Crosstour.

Honda positioned the Crosstour as an Accord-based vehicle for people who wanted sedan-like comfort and road manners but needed a more flexible cargo area and easier step-in height. Its core appeal was a strong standard V6, a hatchback cargo opening, fold-flat rear-seat utility, and a more elevated driving position than a traditional midsize sedan. In practice, it sat between a family sedan and a conventional SUV.

The EX is the well-equipped mainstream version, with a moonroof, dual-zone climate control, power front seats, and a split-folding rear seat. The EX-L adds a more premium feel with leather, heated front seats, Bluetooth calling, a USB music connection, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Both use the same 271-hp V6 and five-speed automatic transmission.

Styling

Structural
