The 2010 Accord Crosstour is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport-utility, available in 5 trims, ranging from the EX 2WD 5-Spd AT to the EX-L 4WD 5-Spd AT w/Navigation. Upon introduction, the EX 2WD 5-Spd AT is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 271-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 27-mpg on the highway. The EX-L 4WD 5-Spd AT w/Navigation is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 271-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims. The 2010 Accord Crosstour is all-new for 2010. Can't purchase yet--planning on it!) Crosstour is Honda's answer to the shifting distribution of the utility vehicle niche, from truck/wagon-like SUVs to more car-based crossover vehicles. It's an upscale Accord with 8 inches of ground clearance, hatchback, great cargo flexibility, and basic towing capacity. Perfect for moderately affluent small families or empty-nesters. Tighter, with much better road manners, more user-friendly navi system, and better interior fit and finish than Venza, Edge and MX-7 (others I shopped). Great safety features; runs on regular gas; drives smoothly with great road-holding and handling. Solid, quality feel; wide/long stance, 24 stars on crash/rollover tests, Vehicle Stability, rollover sensor for curtain airbags, unique ACE body structure to ease frontal collision damage, passenger seat sensor system to control front and side airbags. Excellent seats; great lateral support; could use more rear headroom for passengers over 6'3"....
