Honda Crosstour is a front- or all-wheel drive SUV of a full-size class, in which (according to the automaker itself) the inclinations of cars in various body types "coexist": the practicality of the station wagon, the dynamism of the coupe and the cross-country ability of the off-road vehicle ...
Its main target audience is middle-aged men (usually family) who prefer outdoor recreation (that is, trips off paved roads) and love long-distance travel ...
The official premiere of the restyled Honda Crosstour took place in April 2012 - at the international auto show in New York, but only then only as a concept ... and his serial version"Was born" in November of the same year.
Compared to its predecessor, the car has undergone a serious modernization (and the point here is not even that it lost the "Accord" prefix in its name) - the exterior was refreshed, the interior was thoroughly redrawn, new engine V6 in tandem with a 6-band "automatic" and expanded the list of equipment with new systems.
"Crossstour" looks non-trivial, expressive and (due to its impressive dimensions) very respectable. In front, the five-door flaunts an aggressive look of lighting technology, a multifaceted chrome "shield" of the radiator grille and a raised bumper with a protective strip in the lower part, and at the back it has a peculiar shape, showing stylish lights, a large fifth door and a bumper with two exhaust pipes.
In profile, the car is perceived as a huge hatchback with a long hood, sloping roof and heavy stern, the "all-terrain orientation" of which is emphasized by wheel arches of impressive size and solid ground clearance.
The scope of the Honda Crosstour is really impressive: its length is 5020 mm, width - 1900 mm, height - 1560 mm. The size of the wheelbase of the crossover is 2797 mm, and its ground clearance reaches 205 mm.
When equipped, the "Japanese" weighs from 1698 to 1865 kg (depending on the modification).
Inside, "Crossstour" meets its inhabitants with a modern, attractive and rather presentable design - a classic "toolbox" with dial gauges, a weighty four-spoke multi-steering wheel, an impressive front panel, in the center of which two color displays flaunt (the upper one displays a map, information on a board computer and other trifles , and the lower manages the audio system and media center) and a neat "microclimate" unit.
The interior of the car is finished mainly with high-quality plastic, which is diluted with exhibitions "like wood" and "like metal".
The front end of the Honda Crosstour is equipped with wide seats with unobtrusive lateral support, soft padding, a large number of electric adjustments and heating. At the back there is a comfortable sofa with an optimal backrest tilt and two-stage heating and a normal supply of free space (but only for two, since the third will be inconvenient to sit on a hard "bolster" in the center of the pillow).
The trunk of the crossover in its normal form is able to accommodate 457 liters of luggage, and in addition to this, it is soundly trimmed and supplemented with a 54-liter underground. The second row of seats folds down in a 60:40 ratio, resulting in a completely flat area and increasing to 757 liters (when loaded along the glass line) volume. The small-sized spare wheel at the five-door is suspended under the bottom from the outside.
The Honda Crosstour is powered by one of two naturally aspirated gasoline engines, to choose from:
- The "base" car is equipped with a 2.4-liter inline "four" with an overhead camshaft, an aluminum cylinder block, a 16-valve DOHC timing belt, direct injection fuel and the i-VTEC valve control system, which develops 194 horsepower at 7000 rpm and 220 Nm of torque at 4400 rpm.
- "Top" versions relies on a V-shaped six-cylinder 3.5-liter unit with a single overhead camshaft, direct "power" technology, a 24-valve timing mechanism, a variable valve timing mechanism and the function of deactivating three cylinders at low loads, which produces 281 hp. at 6200 rpm and 342 Nm of torque at 4900 rpm.
The "junior" motor is combined with a 5-speed "automatic" and driving front wheels, and the "senior" - with a 6-band automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive transmission with a multi-plate clutch in the drive rear axle(here, if necessary, up to 50% of the power can be directed).
The crossover has good driving characteristics: from 0 to 100 km / h, it accelerates after 8.1 ~ 11.1 seconds, and reaches a maximum of 190 ~ 194 km / h.
V mixed cycle this crossover consumes from 8.4 to 9.8 liters of fuel for every "hundred" of run.
"Crossstour" is based on a "front-wheel drive" platform with a transverse engine, and monocoque body, power structure which 46% consists of high-strength steel grades. Installed on the front axle of the vehicle independent suspension on double wishbones, and on the rear - a multi-link system (in both cases - with hydraulic shock absorbers and stabilizers lateral stability).
As standard, the five-door has a gear-rack-type steering mechanism, but on the version with a 194-horsepower motor it is supplemented with a hydraulic steering booster, and with a 281-horsepower "six" - an electric booster with variable characteristics.
At the front, the car is equipped with ventilated disc brakes with a diameter of 296 mm, and at the rear - with conventional 305 mm devices (in the "base" - with ABS and EBD).
On secondary market Russian Honda Crosstour in 2018 is sold at a price of ~ 900 thousand rubles (but much depends on the condition, equipment and year of manufacture of a particular instance).
By default, the five-door is equipped with: six airbags, 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone "climate", ABS, ESP, a lane control system, an assistant when starting up the hill, an electric sunroof, leather interior, heated front and rear seats, a media center, a rear-view camera, an audio system with six speakers, bi-xenon headlights and a host of other "gadgets".
The new 2015 Honda Crosstour was presented back in 2013. However, despite such an early date, the car was processed and improved for a long time. Therefore, the start of sales of this model in Europe was announced at the end of 2013.
Compared to the first generation, the crossover or coupe, as it is called, has undergone significant changes that have made it even more functional, more stylish, and also safe.
Honda Crossstour design
Honda Crosstour 2015 looks very modern, the overall style does not deviate from the corporate one. The designer managed to combine swiftness, elegance, and rather interesting aerodynamic features with it. At the front, the car received a rather large radiator grille, which smoothly flows into narrow headlights. They are made in the same style as before, extending far enough to the wheel arch, which is decently bloated.
The bumper includes a large air intake in the center, as well as a small batten around the edges, which includes fog lights. There is also an aluminum bumper in the center, which emphasizes the quality of the car. Many might think that for the same, the lower edge of the bumper is trimmed with black plastic, however, this detail is more practical than aesthetic.
The first thing that comes to mind when you see the Honda Crosstour in profile is the word "expensive", this is what a hatchback looks like. First of all, this impression arises thanks to the abundant amount of chrome parts. These are the side glazing trim, a small strip on the sill trim, chrome handles, disc elements. It is these little things that show the general class of the car. From here you can see the massive rear end, the rear window pillar, the rather sloping shape of the tailgate. It smoothly flows dashing line which extends from the head optics.
The rear of this hatchback is worthy of special attention. It combines elite, simplicity and general direction, which we viewed on latest models companies. At first glance, the tailgate seems to be simply huge, first of all, this is the merit of the volumetric rear window, as well as the black trim, which continues after a small spoiler integrated back door... The lower edge of the bumper, as well as the entire perimeter, is trimmed with black plastic, and the bumper itself protrudes slightly backward, which makes it a kind of loading dock. Small fog lights may be considered. taillights, chrome-plated pipes are inserted at the very bottom exhaust system... Overall, the feed looks complete.

Honda Crossstour interior
The interior of the new 2015 Honda Crosstour has also been fine-tuned. First of all, the improvements concern finishing materials, and then the overall design. The seats remain the same, the front seats are electrically adjustable in 10 directions, including lumbar support. Perhaps the most serious changes have undergone the center console. Now the radio control unit has a slightly different look, and information display moved down.
To be fair, this display can now be confused with the navigation display, which is installed in its old place, at the head of the center console. Unlike the previous generation, now the interior is offered only in black, and not in a combined one, as was the pre-styling version.
The steering wheel looks a little different. Here, the buttons for controlling multimedia, navigation, communication, and cruise control have been preserved. All this remained in its original places, however, few have changed the design itself. The interior looks a little more expensive from this, this was achieved thanks to the use of chrome parts and matte plastic that was in the last generation. The center armrest of the front seats is a rather tricky device, as it hides the connector for the iPad connection, as well as the USB for the radio. Next to it are two cup holders, which, by the way, without holders, can be called a small disadvantage.
The luggage compartment is a complex structure, because the seats fold quite interestingly, and a hidden niche is hidden under the floor, the volume of which is 61 liters. Thus, the driver can get 375 liters, or 1,200 liters of usable space for placing cargo on the road. On the plus side, the rear seats fold down into a flat floor.
Specifications Honda Crossstour 2015
On Russian market The 2015 Honda Crosstour is offered with two powertrain options, it is noteworthy that they are fundamentally different from each other. The first motor has a working volume of 2.4 liters. It is built according to the V4 scheme, the gas distribution system is DOHC. Thanks to this, the engineers managed to remove such a power unit of 194 horsepower and 220 Nm of torque.
The fuel consumption of the engine will be 12 liters of AI 95 in the city, or 8.4 liters of gasoline on the highway. The car accelerates to the first hundred with such a motor in 11.1 seconds, and maximum speed stopped at around 190 kilometers per hour. It is interesting that such an engine is supplied to the Russian market only with front-wheel drive, a 5-speed gearbox, which can only be automatic.
The second engine of the new 2015 Honda Crosstour has a displacement of 3.5 liters. The gas distribution system here is SOHC, respectively, only one is installed in the block head camshaft... Despite this, the engineers managed to fit 24 valves here, that is, 4 valves per cylinder. Engine power is 280 horsepower and torque is 252 Nm at 5000 rpm.
Despite the rather impressive working volume, the company's engineers managed to reduce fuel consumption. this engine in the city up to 11.8 liters of gasoline. On the highway, this figure will be 10.2 liters. These results were achieved thanks to a system that turns off the cylinders when full power not required from the engine. For example, when the car is traveling at cruising speed, or if the driver needs additional power reserve, the system will immediately determine that it is necessary to connect inoperative cylinders.
This engine is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission transmissions and four-wheel drive, or a similar gearbox, but front-wheel drive.
Configuration and prices Honda Crossstour
The Honda Crosstour is nowhere near budget hatchback, so even the basic equipment is pretty impressive here. Not only has the company decided to sell cars in 3 trim levels, there are also no options here at all.
Executive
As mentioned above, even the basic equipment can boast of such equipment, which in many cars is not even in the top version. The cars will be equipped with ABS, Egypt, driver and front passenger airbags, side cushions, curtain airbags, as well as an assistance system at the start of the hill and a system that monitors the lane.
Air conditioning, power steering, rear and front parking sensors, a rear view camera, climate control will also be installed here, and the steering wheel will be regulated in two directions. The windows will be tinted. It is interesting that the car is not offered unit 1 with other salons except with leather ones. Steering wheel, Naturally, because it is multifunctional, the unit is first driven, as well as heated, it is also installed on the back sofa. Such trifles as electric windows in a circle are not even worth excluding.
Rearview mirror can be lowered when driving reverse, audio system CD, AUX, as well as the connector for iPod connection are controlled by a touch screen, which is 8 inches diagonal. The vehicle is equipped with a stability control system, a braking assistance system, a security system that includes central locking, alarm and standard immobilizer. Lighting in any configuration is xenon, with automatic corrector and fog lights... In addition, the door area is illuminated. V basic configuration Honda Crosstour is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, paintwork decorative moldings are on the regular visit list.
This configuration is called Executive. The following 2 configurations differ from it in the presence all-wheel drive, more powerful engine, paddle shifters, system keyless entry and a start-stop system, they are called Premium and Premium + Navi. In the initial configuration for a Honda Crossstour, the price will be exactly 2 million, but you need to find out about older versions at car dealerships, because prices for them vary very much.
The Japanese crossover Honda Crosstour was produced from 2009 to 2015 - moreover, at first under the name Accord Crosstour. The car managed to survive only one restyling in 2013, having received a slightly modified design and new motor... The dimensions allow us to refer it to the segment of full-size cars. off-road, and the ground clearance makes it possible to overcome obstacles and real off-road. Thus, it is not a "SUV", but practically real SUV, but intended primarily for city trips.
Pre-styling version
The first version of the crossover took in lineup the manufacturer's seat immediately after the Pilot car, since it turned out to be smaller in size and was equipped with only two rows of seats instead of three. The car was sold in the North American, Chinese and European markets, in the Middle East. Moreover, in China, it even began to be produced in 2010.
Exterior and interior
The first Honda Crosstour was a hatchback version of the Accord and was built on the same platform. The cost of the model was about $ 6,500 higher compared to the prototype, and the main competitor was the station wagon. Toyota venza. Five-door hatchback distinguished by an original and practically sporty design, high aerodynamic coefficient, stylish front optics and bumper.
Inside, the Honda Crosstour has plenty of room for all normal passengers. However, a sloping roof can cause some discomfort for quite tall people (above 180 cm). This reduced height also influenced the convenience of placing goods in luggage compartment- however, even the trunk volume is not so large for the class of full-size crossovers. Comparing its 727.7 liters with 850 liters of space of the Nissan Murano models, we can draw conclusions in favor of these competitors.
Technical parameters and configuration
The main specifications car before restyling, mainly depend on the power unit, which this Russian complete set of this model had only one. The six-cylinder V-engine has a volume of 3.5 liters and uses an average of 11.2 liters of fuel - not much for a nearly two-ton SUV. Taking into account the volume of the fuel tank, which can hold 70 liters of gasoline, the cruising range of the Crosstour is about 625 km.
The width of the car (1.897 m) and height (1.669 m) practically do not differ from those of its competitors. In length, it reaches almost 5 m (without 1 mm). And the dimensions of the clearance are large enough for driving on country and country roads.

The cost of the pre-styling version of Crosstour depends on the configuration, of which three were supplied to the Russian market. The first, basic, received climate control, an audio system with 6 speakers, a good set of security systems and almost complete power accessories. The more expensive Executive modification already has leather interior and even more additional options. Maximum complete set also received a standard navigation system.

Car after restyling
The next versions of the Honda Crosstour were not a new generation, but only a restyling of the car. The start of sales in Europe took place in 2013, in Russian showrooms - a few months later. In the first half of 2015, the manufacturer announced the discontinuation of crossover production, citing low demand as the main reason. Although an additional reason for completing the work on the Crossstour series was the need to bring the CR-V, Acura RDX and MDX models to the market.
Exterior and interior
The design of the car turned out to be modern and, at the same time, characteristic of the Honda company. Excellent aerodynamics are combined with a large radiator grille and narrow headlights, made in the style of the first, pre-styling version, but still updated. In the central part of the bumper there is an enlarged air intake opening and a relatively small crate with "foglights". In profile, Honda Crosstour also looks enough expensive car... This impression is created, first of all, by chrome parts, plastic door sills (similar can be seen on the front bumper) and original rims.
Not badly modified compared to the pre-styling version and the Honda Crossstour interior :
- improved finishing materials;
- the first row of seats was electrically adjustable and lumbar support;
- the center console has been updated and looks much more prestigious - especially the radio controls have changed;
- the appearance of the multifunction steering wheel has changed - although it still houses the control elements of the multimedia system and cruise control.
The developers' use of a large number of matte plastic and chrome inserts made the interior more expensive. And the presence of a central armrest between the front row seats not only increases convenience, but also adds opportunities for using mobile gadgets. After all, this element has a USB port for connecting flash drives and a connector through which you can connect an iPad.
Characteristics and offers on the domestic market
In domestic salons, the latest versions of the Honda Crosstour were supplied with 2 options for power units - a 2.4-liter 194 hp. with. and the standard 3.5-liter (281 hp). Less powerful motor was offered complete with front-wheel drive transmission and automatic transmission. The second engine with the same gearbox was installed on all-wheel drive modifications. Such technical characteristics allowed the car to reach a speed of 100 km / h in 8.1-11.1 seconds and spend in mixed mode from 8.4 to 9.8 liters of gasoline. As the test drive of the model showed, real performance approximately coincided with the technical data.
The model reaches 5.02 m in length, 1.9 m in width, and 1.56 m in height.The dimensions of the wheelbase almost reach 3 meters, and the ground clearance does not differ from the previous version and remains at the level of 20.5 cm.

Honda Crosstour crossover review
updated: December 17, 2017 by the author: dimajpHonda Crosstour - all-wheel drive model for travel to any distance on roads of different quality. The car received a bright and impressive design. The dimensions are impressive: length - 4999 mm, width - 1 900 mm, wheelbase - 2 797 mm. The ground clearance is 205 mm, which allows us to speak with confidence about the high cross-country ability of the Crosstour. The lowered center of gravity provides good stability when driving on roads with any type of surface.
Controllability deserves special attention. The advanced Real Time 4WD system allows you to instantly react to the changed level of grip of the wheels with the road surface, which provides the ability to confidently drive the car in any weather, moving both on dry and on wet road... The multi-link suspension makes the car very stable when cornering. The design of the front suspension uses double wishbones to make deep turns easier. The front shock absorbers are equipped with rebound springs to ensure that the wheels stay in contact with the road when cornering on uneven road surfaces. The installation of an independent rear suspension, which is characterized by sufficient rigidity in the lateral direction.
The spacious and comfortable cabin allows you to comfortably accommodate five passengers. The decoration is made in the American style - leather and wood-effect lining. The Active Sound Insulation System (ANC) protects passengers and the driver from outside noise. The driver's and passenger's seats have several adjustable positions (8 for the driver and 4 for passengers). Using the driver's seat memory function, two favorite settings can be stored. The driver's seat allows you to customize the lumbar spine support for maximum comfort.
The Crosstour is equipped with an intelligent dual-zone climate control system that allows separate temperature control for driver and passenger. Air vents in the rear seat area also contribute to the desired climate in the passenger compartment. Honda engineers took into account the harsh realities of the Russian winter. The car is equipped with separate two-stage seat heating. The heating function is also implemented in the rear-view mirrors, which are equipped with an electric drive and position memory. In addition, the mirrors automatically tilt to improve visibility to avoid collision with an obstacle when driving backward.
The trunk is impressive - the volume of the main part of the compartment is 457 liters, with the seats folded down - all 757 liters. A jack and a set of tools are hidden under the raised floor.
Under the hood is a 3.5-liter V-shaped six-cylinder engine originally used on Honda pilot... 275 hp atmospheric engine and a torque of 339 Nm, confidently pulls an almost two-ton car. The maximum speed is 196 km / h. Acceleration to "hundreds" takes 8.9 seconds. In the urban cycle, the car consumes 15 liters, outside the city the appetite decreases to 10. Together with power plant an automatic 5-speed gearbox works, the speed of which can be changed using the paddles located under the steering wheel.
The car has a high level of safety. The model is equipped with a stabilization system (VSA), anti-lock braking system (ABS) and equipment for brake force distribution (EBD). The body of the Crosstour is divided into special crumple zones with steel strength members that are capable of absorbing high impacts. The cabin has front and side airbags designed for two levels of deployment. These elements of the safety system are triggered taking into account the force and speed of the collision, the height of the passenger or driver. To provide required level safety car is also equipped with active head restraints. If a child seat is installed in the passenger compartment, the OPDS deactivates the front side airbags for the passenger. The Honda Crosstour provides two of these seats with ISO-FIX anchorages that allow easy installation and removal of the seats.
If you need a large, comfortable and safe car with some off-road inclinations, the Crosstour is an excellent candidate for the role.
Many have already appreciated the advantages of using a car in a station wagon. These cars have a spacious trunk and spacious salon... But some of them refuse to buy such cars due to too low clearance. Not everywhere there are good roads, and sometimes a couple of extra centimeters is simply necessary. What if you combine a station wagon and a crossover? This is not a joke at all - this is the technique made by the Japanese from the Honda company. And today we have Honda review Crosstour. Characteristics, photos, price and reviews - further.
Description
So what is this car? The Honda Crosstour is a front- or four-wheel drive fastback that was mass-produced from 2009 to 2015. The car was oriented mainly towards the North American market, but was also supplied to Russia.
By the way, this car was originally called the Honda Accord Crosstour. The Japanese removed the "Accord" prefix in 2011.
Appearance
The design of the car has similar features to the Honda Accord sedan. But the Crosstour version is more like an SUV. So, the machine has volumetric wheel arches and a massive bumper with a wide grille. The fastback design is extraordinary. Such a car is unlike any other, and therefore attracts attention without any tuning.
From behind, the Honda Crosstour looks no less original. So, it is worth noting the huge trunk lid, which stretches along the entire body, and large taillights.
Dimensions, clearance
The car has a solid size. So, the body length is almost 5 meters, width - 1.9, height - 1.7 meters. The wheelbase is 2.8 meters. At the same time, the ground clearance confidently speaks of belonging to SUVs. Its size on standard wheels is 20.5 centimeters. The car feels great on a winter and sandy road.
Salon
Inside it is the same "Accord" of the eighth generation. Of course, by our time, the salon is already outdated, because for the first time such an interior was proposed back in 2008. But this is not to say that the interior is uncomfortable. There are no ergonomic miscalculations here, - say the reviews.
The seats are comfortable and all controls are close at hand. The color range can be different. But the light salon, presented in the photo in our article, looks especially impressive. The quality of finishing materials is at the level. Nothing squeaks or annoys. And the noises from the street barely reach the salon.
Trunk
As noted by reviews, the Honda Crosstour has a roomy trunk. Its volume in a five-seater version is 457 liters. In this case, the backrests of the rear seats can be folded down. This creates a flat cargo area of 757 liters.
Honda Crosstour - specifications
Under the hood of the car, there may be one of the two ICEs offered by the manufacturer. So, the base is a gasoline four-cylinder engine with a 16-valve head, variable valve timing system and I-VTEC technology. With a working volume of 2.4 liters, the car develops up to 194 horsepower. The torque is 220 Nm. According to passport data, the car spends from 6.4 to 11 liters of fuel, depending on operating conditions. But, as the reviews note, in practice, the Honda Crosstour is more voracious. So, in the city, the car spends about 11.7 liters, and on the highway - 7.6.
Paired with the given power unit automatic five-speed gearbox gear. It is distinguished by the Logic Control system, which allows to optimize the range of gear shifting. The car picks up a hundred in 11 seconds. The maximum speed is 190 kilometers per hour.
In luxury versions, the Honda Crosstour is equipped with a six-cylinder gasoline engine... There are four valves per cylinder, in addition, the engine is distinguished by the I-VTEC system, which allows you to get more throttle response from the engine during acceleration. Also, the unit has a system that allows you to turn off half of the cylinders at low loads. This significantly saves fuel. The power of the six-cylinder unit is 280 horsepower. The working volume is 3.5 liters. The torque is 341 Nm. According to passport data, the car spends 11.8 liters in the city and up to 8.1 on the highway. But, as noted by the reviews of the owners, the Honda Crosstour actually spends from 10.4 to 14.7 liters of gasoline. Paired with the power unit is an automatic six-speed gearbox. The 3.5-liter Honda Crossstour is equipped with a manual gearbox. For this, separate paddle shifters are displayed in the cabin. By the way, the car accelerates to a hundred in 8.9 seconds. And the maximum speed is 194 kilometers per hour.
As noted by the reviews, even with a basic engine, the car has good acceleration dynamics. This power is enough to confidently carry out overtaking and other maneuvers.
Chassis
The front of the car is equipped with triangular, double wishbones with coil springs and an anti-roll bar. Behind applied multi-link suspension... There is also a transverse stabilizer.
The suspension characteristics have been tuned in such a way that the car has excellent handling without being harsh in the pits. As noted by reviews, the machine perfectly swallows potholes and small holes. Also, the car is equipped with tenacious disc brakes. Diameter brake discs- 305 mm for the front and 296 for the rear.
On the reliability of the suspension
Unfortunately, the Honda has flaws. And many complain about the reliability of the suspension. She does not live on our roads for a long time. So, after 15 thousand kilometers, the lower ball joints... Shock absorbers require replacement after 30-45 thousand kilometers. The steering rack control unit needs attention after 60 thousand kilometers. SHRUS requires replacement after 70-100 thousand kilometers. Also wear out by 100 thousand brake discs.
Security
When creating a crossover "Honda Crossstour" a lot of attention was paid to the issue of safety. Thus, the car received five stars out of five possible during a frontal impact with 40 percent overlap.
The Honda Crossstour also earned high marks in a collision with a pedestrian. In addition, the machine is equipped next to passive systems security. So, there is a lane control system, as well as a camera with wide viewing angles from behind.
