It was one of the boldest moves that Honda made into the American market. The Accord Crosstour was a tryout to make a GT fastback vehicle out of its successful model Accord.
The idea behind the car was to build a crossover based on one of the most successful sedans on the U.S. Market for years. The higher ground clearance, the fastback-style rear end, and the increased interior room should have been big advantages. It was like an Accord sedan, but a little bit more practical with more trunk space and a wide-open liftgate.
The front fascia remained similar to the Accord sedan. The grille was large, with three slots and had the same fascia inspiration as the rest of the range. The headlights were nice and clear and the front bumper featured an additional air-scoop to cool the AC condenser and the lower part of the radiator.
Inside, the Accord Crosstour was well equipped and with plenty of room for the rear seat passengers. The vehicle was intended to be sold for those who were looking for a sporty family vehicle, with a large trunk and coupe-like shape. A nice infotainment unit on top of the dashboard and easy-to-read instrument cluster was also key-elements for owners.
But, in the end, it was a design disaster that didn't help the car. No matter how known was the Accord name or what qualities it had on the road. It was a true cross-over, with front or all-wheel-drive, but the exterior design didn't match the car's technical qualities.
