Based on the acclaimed FM platform, the EX crossover SUV is closely related to the G sport sedan. With its tall profile, rear hatch and unique interior design, the EX should appeal to a more practical customer who needs luxury and utility in a compact package. A 3.5L V-6 mated to a 7-speed automatic is standard on both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models.

A seven speed automatic becomes standard. Options and packages are simplified.
