The Crosstour combines the strong practicality of the Accord sedan with the additional utility of a large flexible cargo area and all-wheel-drive. With a big trunk and one of the largest interiors in the segment, the Accord was already a very capable vehicle. Rather than make an Accord wagon, Honda's stylists added a long sloping hatch giving the Crosstour a fastback appearance. The large hatch area almost doubles the cargo capacity of the trunk even before folding down the rear seats. The Crosstour is the only way to get all-wheel-drive in an Accord. Honda offers the Crosstour in EX, and EX-L trim levels only. All-wheel-drive is only available on the EX-L trim level. Like the Accord sedan the Crosstour now offers a choice of V6 and four-cylinder engines. The only downside is that Honda priced the AWD Crosstour like an SUV with a sticker price of around $35,000.

The Accord Crosstour is renamed Crosstour. A four-cylinder engine is now offered for improved fuel economy.
