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. Sales began in November 2009 for the 2010 model year, and the vehicle was discontinued after the 2015 model year due to slow sales.

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.
