Honda Accord Crosstour

Honda Japan unveiled its latest model Accord Crosstour for the North American market. Honda Accord Crosstour is the next evolution of the crossover offers CUV attributes while maintaining a premium sedan feel and a sporty, bold appearance.

The all-new Honda Accord Crosstour evolves the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) concept by integrating a sleek and aerodynamic shape that blends sporty, low-profile contours with versatile CUV functionality, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.

The model is definitely meant to expand the range of the Accord nameplate, Honda’s best selling vehicle in the United States. The Crosstour design features a higher seating position for the passengers but also keeps the crossover sitting low on its suspension. The new front grille and the beefy rear end give the car a more toughened look – a feature Honda likely hopes will attract buyers looking for something more sturdy than a regular sedan.

Automakers are always coming up with their own names for vehicle classes, such as BMW calling the X6 a “Sport Activity Vehicle.” Here Honda has decided to name the Accord Crosstour a “Crossover Utility Vehicle”. But the market simply calls them crossovers and this Accord version, with Honda’s driving dynamics appeal, may just be the variant which lets the Accord trump its arch-rival the Toyota Camry in that largest of North American segments, the mid-sized sedan.
