Overall Rating
Honda Crosstour:
The Honda Crosstour is a mid-size crossover SUV with a sloping rear roofline manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda. It is based on the North American eighth-generation Accord.

The Crosstour was powered by a 3. 5-liter V6 engine or 2. 4-liter 4-cylinder engine , with prices that started at $29,670, above those of the Accord sedan.
