Crosstour is Honda's Crosstour, a leisure sedan developed by Honda based on the Accord platform. Its design resembles the BMW X6, positioned between a four-door sedan and a five-door station wagon. The Accord Crosstour shares similarities with station wagons in terms of space and practicality, while its interior and features approach those of luxury vehicles. The rear spoiler and taillights add a fashionable touch, and the distinctive body waistline extends from the front fender to the rear, fully showcasing the dynamic characteristics of a coupe-style body. The spacious tailgate and unique trunk space design enhance the vehicle's versatility. The robust lower body styling conveys a solid and stable feel, complemented by large, powerful wheel designs that significantly improve the vehicle's off-road capability.

I've driven the Crosstour, and honestly, it's a pretty practical Honda crossover. It's based on the Accord platform but incorporates more SUV elements, with an especially large trunk space that makes loading bulky items super convenient. It drives with the stability of a sedan, and the seats are quite comfortable. As for fuel consumption, it's not the most economical but still acceptable, averaging around 9-10 liters per 100km in the city. It's a bit of a shame that it's been discontinued now, as there aren't many similar models on the market. I remember it was quite popular back in the day, especially among buyers who favored a touring style. For those interested in buying, I'd suggest checking out the second-hand market—it offers good value for money. All in all, it was a commendable attempt by Honda.

As an automotive enthusiast, I'll discuss the Crosstour from a technical perspective. This Honda model is technically a crossover SUV, built on the Accord platform, inheriting its smooth ride and handling. It offers a choice between V6 or four-cylinder engines, delivering ample power though not exceptionally fuel-efficient. The interior design leans towards practicality with a sporty touch, but lacks high-tech features. Comparable models include the Toyota Venza, though the Honda has more distinctive styling. Discontinued in 2015 partly due to strong competition. If considering purchasing one, note its engine reliability is fairly good.

My family has used the Crosstour, and it's quite family-friendly. This Honda crossover has an excellent space layout, with ample room in the back seats and trunk—perfect for strollers and shopping. It offers good safety features, including airbags and a stability system. It's comfortable for daily commutes and doesn't feel tiring on long trips. The downside might be its slightly higher fuel consumption compared to the CR-V. Currently, you can only find it on the used car market, but maintenance costs are low. I think it's a hidden gem from Honda, ideal for practical families.
