New for 2010, the Honda Accord Crosstour crossover utility vehicle, or CUV (as it's officially called by the automaker), combines the ride and handling of a sedan with the functionality of an SUV, thanks to its versatile cargo area, accessed by a rear tailgate. The Crosstour shares its platform and most of its interior features with the Honda Accord. However, the Crosstour's sloped rear roofline and its overall exterior profile depart from the standard Accord design, and draw mixed reactions from owners and reviewers. Some find the design heavy in the rear end, while others like the Crosstour's flowing lines and sporty style. Although the Crosstour's tailgate design may look new to 21st-century eyes, it does borrow some styling cues from classic sports cars, such as the Porsche 911 and the Mustang fastbacks of the 1960s.
In addition to its tailgate, the Crosstour stands apart from the Accord sedan in several other ways. Taller, wider, and longer than the standard Accord, it also displays a bolder front grille and textured rocker panels. Projector-beam halogen headlights, front foglights, heated power side mirrors, chrome window trim, and chrome exhaust finishers help complete the Crosstour's look.
Under its skin, the Crosstour comes equipped with a number of innovations and firsts for Honda. Its 3.5-liter, 271-hp V6 engine uses the latest generation of the automaker's Variable Cylinder Management system, which helps improve fuel efficiency. The Crosstour's five-speed automatic transmission revs the engine during downshifts for smoother transitions and features enhanced G-force gear-holding capability, which ensures more spirited driving in corners. In addition, the optional navigation system comes equipped with a new type of reflection-minimizing coating on its screen, a first for any Honda vehicle. And the Crosstour holds the distinction as the first Honda with Active Sound Control, which uses the sound system to cancel certain types of engine noise for a quieter cabin.
The Crosstour comes in front-wheel-drive EX and EX-L trims, as well as an EX-L 4WD trim for 2010. The EX-L 4WD engages its real-time four-wheel-drive system when it detects slippage, sending power to the wheels with the best grip. Front-wheel-drive trims post fuel economy numbers of 18/27 mpg, while the 4WD trim manages 17/25.
The Crosstour borrows many of its interior features from the premium Accord trims. Owners can choose from two available interior color combinations, including charcoal black with a monochromatic black instrument panel, and an ivory interior with a two-tone black-and-tan instrument panel. Both feature wood-trim-style accents. Dual-zone automatic air conditioning, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, a four-way power passenger seat, a tilt/telescopic steering column, and illuminated steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls are among the standard features. A seven-speaker, 360-Watt AM/FM audio system with a 6-CD changer and a subwoofer keeps passengers entertained.
The EX-L trims add such features as leather-trimmed upholstery, heated front seats, Bluetooth, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The EX-L's audio system also includes XM satellite radio, premium speakers, and a USB interface. Options for the EX-L trims include a satellite-linked navigation system with voice recognition and a rear-view camera.
Standard safety features for the Crosstour include dual front, front side, and side-curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. Honda's version of electronic stability control, called Vehicle Stability Assist, also comes standard. Antilock brakes include electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist. The Crosstour EX rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, while the EX-L trims ride on 18-inch alloy wheels.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour are very positive about their experience with this car. Many appreciate its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and reliability. The performance and power of the engine are also frequently mentioned as highlights. However, some drivers expressed concerns about maintenance aspects such as the timing belt and issues with the front axles. Additionally, while the car offers a unique style, a few owners noted that it may not appeal to everyone."
Going into this purchase, I had a lot of confidence in the Honda brand, and after checking the car out I had even more confidence. The car is in really good shape for a 16 year old vehicle!

May 28, 2020This car is absolutely the best car I have ever owned. I am quite sad that they no longer make this particular model. Never had a problem with this car and I have almost 300,000 miles on it.
May 30, 2024After being a loyal Audi owner for the last twenty years, I decided to look for other options. I needed a family car that was roomy enough for me (6'2" 240) and didn't cramp my 13 wide feet. So many cars of today even large vehicles (Caddies, 300s, etc) have that large "hump" that rubs against your leg when you drive - I can't stand it. The Honda Crosstour was one of the few vehicles that didn't have that annoyance. I wanted all wheel drive, leather interior, and Nav. I was really impressed with how comfortable this car is. I have taken it on three 600 plus mile trips in the past year and have loved it. With cruise set at 70, I was getting 34 miles per gallon. The sound system is great - my children love it. It is peppy enough when you nail the gas when you need to. It is nothing like my last car (330hp biturbo A6) but it is certainly more then adequate around town as well as on the highway. I have had zero maintenance as of yet having owned it for two years and placing about 15000 miles on it. My Honda CBR1000 motorcycle was virtually maintenance free and this is seeming to be that way as well. The only complaint I have is handling around corners is not so tight and smooth. This is perhaps just because I was used to driving Audi's for the last twenty years. All in all, I am quite pleased with my purchase - people either tell me it is a really cool looking car or some close friends have mentioned they are not sure of the look. It is fun to drive, comfortable, gets good gas mileage and has not cost me an arm and a leg to have repaired. Those are the important things for me.
March 7, 2012The build quality is far superior to the Venza that I owned previously. I know the "net chatter" has been negative, but you really have to see the car in person and drive it to appreciate its attributes. The ride is smooth and quiet, much like a luxury car that would cost more. The braking is solid and you feel the road with the steering. In addition, it's really fun to drive and still hugs corners pretty well regardless of its size and weight. Seating is very comfortable and the leather embraces you but still has firm support for your back on long rides. The styling is unique and I like that, versus the "sea of sameness" from the other CUV's out there. If you want a station wagon or CUV hauler, this isn't fo you - but it fit me like a glove.
October 21, 2010I love the car! It rides very smooth. The car is very spacious. Interior is ver nice and person friendly. I would recommend this car to anyone. The car is very fun to drive. I would be in it all the time.
June 22, 2010You can look at my other review for our Accord EX-L V6. Same pertains here. However, when we purchased this car we assume it was an Accord with more cargo space, That could not be more incorrect. It is more like an Acura. Super smooth ride and even better acceleration than the V6 accord. I don't believe these are selling well for Honda and it is on them for not marketing it correctly. $36k seems a lot for this car but it rivals $40k and $50k vehicles all day long. This is hands down the nicest car I have driven.
March 30, 2013Great car, dependable, comfortable , lots of power, lots of room
November 22, 2023My wife had a 2000 Merceeds E 320, little things were starting to go wrong Dash lights comming on. Nothing serious just basicly wanting a new car. I have fallen head over heels in love with my Honda Element, so I wanted to get her into a Honda. I researched the Accord Crosstour and really liked it. No surprises what people said about it is ture the hatch back creates a bit of a bilnd spot, if you like the look of the hatch back you accept the resopnsibility of looking twice! I'm really impressed with the (VCM)"Variable Cylinder Management," the car runs on all 6 cylinders if needed or only 3 cylinders when practical. Very high safety rating and what can you say, "It's a Honda!"
