Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour is motivated by the same 3.5-liter V6 found in the Accord sedan; it sends its 271 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque through a five-speed automatic transmission. That is the sole engine available, though buyers do have a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Fitted with up sized brakes compared to an Accord sedan, The Crosstour came to a halt from 60 mph in 131 feet at the track, an impressive distance for a vehicle this size.

As with the Accord sedan, the V6 comes with cylinder deactivation technology that will allow the engine to run on as few as three cylinders under light load conditions. The result is EPA fuel economy estimates of 18 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined for the front-drive version, with the 4WD version coming in about 1 less mpg.

The Accord Crosstour’s innovative shifting feature knows when you’re taking a curve, and will hold your gear so you can accelerate through the turn without an unwanted up-shift or downshift. The gearbox features an automatic downshift rev-matching feature, the first in a Honda-brand vehicle.

The 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour’s suspension strikes a good balance between a compliant ride and composed handling.

Safety

To help keep you on course and away from danger, Vehicle Stability Assist helps sense over steer or under steer in an emergency situation, and then adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and reduces engine power to help restore driver control.

Standard 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), help you maintain control during hard braking. Properly inflated tires are crucial for safe operation, so the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver when a tire’s pressure reaches a significantly low level.

Interior Design and Special Features

With the tilt-telescopic steering wheel and multi-adjustable power seat, getting comfortable behind the wheel is easy. The Crosstour has its quieter cabin that is meant to more closely match the vehicle’s luxury GT crossover mission.

The backseat provides good head and legroom and the seat itself is generously padded, well shaped and up high enough to provide proper leg support.

To help you out, Honda has fitted a glass window below the lift gate, while on the EX-L with navigation you get a back-up camera with guidance lines. The latter is a godsend, allowing you to easily place the vehicle between parking lines and back up to other parallel parked cars without worry about touching bumpers.
