Japanese crossover Honda Crosstour was produced from 2009 to 2015 - and, 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 it to be attributed to the segment of full-size off-road vehicles, and ground clearance makes it possible to overcome obstacles and real off-road. Thus, it is not a "SUV", but almost a real SUV, but designed 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, as 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... The five-door hatchback was distinguished by an original and almost sporty design, high aerodynamic coefficient, stylish front optics and a bumper.

Inside, the Honda Crosstour has ample 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 in the Nissan Murano models and, one 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 fuel tank, containing 70 liters of gasoline, the cruising range at Crosstour is about 625 km.

The width of the car (1.897 m) and the 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 travel 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 a leather interior and even more additional options... The maximum equipment 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 is 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 "fog lights". In profile, Honda Crosstour also looks enough expensive car... This impression is created, first of all, by chrome-plated parts, plastic trims on the sills (similar can be seen on front bumper) and original wheels.

The Honda Crossstour interior is also well improved compared to the pre-styling version :

• 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.

Use by developers a large number 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 contains 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). A less powerful motor was offered complete with a front-wheel drive transmission and an automatic transmission. The second engine with the same gearbox was installed on all-wheel drive modifications. These 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. Wheels all versions have a radius of 18 ”, the luggage compartment volume is 720–1420 liters (seats folded and unfolded).

Honda Crosstour crossover review updated: December 17, 2017 by the author: dimajp

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 activities (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 its production version was "born" in November of the same year.

Compared to its predecessor, the car has undergone a serious modernization (and the point is not even that it lost the "Accord" prefix in the 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. At the 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 rear 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 a heavy stern, the "all-terrain orientation" of which is emphasized by wheel arches of impressive dimensions 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 crossover has a wheelbase of 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 quite 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 block of "microclimate".

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 lot 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 uncomfortable to sit on a hard "roller" in the center of the pillow).

The trunk of the crossover in 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 in-line "four" with an overhead camshaft, an aluminum cylinder block, a 16-valve DOHC timing belt, direct fuel injection and an 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 leading 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.

In the combined cycle, this crossover consumes from 8.4 to 9.8 liters of fuel for every "hundred" of the run.

"Crossstour" is based on a "front-wheel drive" platform with a transverse engine and a monocoque body, the power structure of which is 46% of high-strength steel grades. On the front axle of the car is installed 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 a 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".

Many have already appreciated the benefits of using a car in a station wagon. These machines have roomy trunk and a spacious interior. 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 the Honda Crosstour in our review. Features, 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 mainly oriented to 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 car has voluminous wheel arches and a massive bumper with a wide grille. The fastback design is extraordinary. Such a car is not like any other, and therefore attracts the eye 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 value is standard wheels - 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 it cannot be said that the interior is uncomfortable. There are no ergonomic miscalculations here, - say the reviews.

The seats are comfortable, all controls are 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. The backrests of the rear seats can be folded down. This creates a flat cargo area of \u200b\u200b757 liters.

Honda Crosstour - specifications

Under the hood of the car, there may be one of two ICE offered by the manufacturer. So, the basic one 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. Torque - 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 this power unit is an automatic five-speed gearbox. It is distinguished by the Logic Control system, which allows optimizing the range of gear shifting. The car picks up a hundred in 11 seconds. Maximum speed - 190 kilometers per hour.

In the 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. Working volume - 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 the owner reviews note, 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 reviews, even with a basic engine, the car has good acceleration dynamics. This power is enough to confidently overtake and make other maneuvers.

Chassis

At the front of the car, there are triangular double wishbones with coil springs and an anti-roll bar. A multi-link suspension is used at the rear. There is also a transverse stabilizer.

The suspension characteristics are 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. The diameter of the brake discs is 305 millimeters for the front and 296 for the rear.

Suspension reliability

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 fail. 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, brake discs wear out by 100 thousand.

Security

When creating a crossover "Honda Crossstour" much 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 car is equipped with a number of passive safety systems. So, there is a lane control system, as well as a camera with wide viewing angles from behind.

Complete set "Honda"

The car was offered only in two trim levels:

• EX (basic).
• EX-L (respectively, maximum).

The standard equipment includes:

The deluxe version includes:

• Alloy wheels 18 inches.
• 3.5-liter engine and six-speed automatic transmission.
• System all-wheel drive.
• Leather interior trim.
• Seat memory.
• Headlight washer.
• Rain sensor.
• Light sensor.
• Electric sunroof.
• Multimedia complex with navigator and internet radio.
• Lane departure warning system.
• Control of dead zones.
• Alarm with feedback and autostart.
• Collision warning system.

Price

Unfortunately, the new Honda Crosstour is no longer on sale. All machines are only available in the aftermarket. The price of the Honda may differ. So, the cheapest versions can be bought for 800-900 thousand rubles.

Well, the freshest, in a good configuration, are available at a price of 1 million 600 thousand rubles. The cost this car practically does not differ from the eighth generation Honda Accord sedan.

Summing up

So, we found out what is japanese car Honda Crossstour. This car is a good option for those who want a roomy station wagon with high clearance... Sometimes it makes no sense to pay extra for an SUV or crossover. Honda Crossstour is a kind of compromise. It combines the practicality of a station wagon and the off-road capability of an SUV. Of course, no one will take it for offroad. But it can cope with snow drifts or wet primer.

The new 2015 Honda Crosstour was presented back in 2013. However, despite such an early date, the car has been 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 gone through quite serious 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 also quite interesting aerodynamic features with it. At the front, the car has received a rather large radiator grille, which flows smoothly 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 finished with black plastic, however, this detail is more practical than aesthetic.

The first thing that comes to mind when you see a 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. A swift line smoothly flows into it, which stretches from the head optics.

The rear of this hatchback is worthy of special attention. It combines elitism, simplicity and general direction, which we viewed on the latest models of the company. 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 lining, which continues after a small spoiler integrated into the tailgate. 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 area. You can see small fog taillights, chrome exhaust pipes are inserted at the very bottom. Overall, the feed looks finished.

Dimensions Honda Crosstour 2015:

• Length - 5020
• Width - 1900
• Height - 1560
• Wheelbase - 2797
• Clearance - 205
• Front track width - 1665

• Trunk volume min / max, l - 720/1420
• Fuel tank volume, l - 70
• Curb weight, kg - 1865

Honda Crossstour interior

Interior new honda The 2015 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 the information display has been 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.

Steering wheel looks a little different. The buttons for multimedia control, navigation, communication, and cruise control have been preserved here. All this remained in its original places, but 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, which was in the last generation. The center armrest of the front seats is a rather tricky device, as it hides a connector for connecting an iPad, as well as a USB for the radio. Next to it there 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 down 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. A plus is the fact that the rear seats fold down into a flat floor.

Specifications Honda Crossstour 2015

In the 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 with 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 the maximum speed stopped at around 190 kilometers per hour. It is interesting that such an engine is supplied on Russian market front-wheel drive only, 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 driving with cruising speed, or, if the driver needs additional power reserve, the system will immediately determine that it is necessary to connect idle 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 far from a 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 is not found in many cars even in the top version. The cars will be equipped with ABS, Egypt, driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, as well as an uphill start assist system and a system that keeps track of the lane.

There will also be installed air conditioning, power steering, rear and front parking sensors, a rear-view camera, climate control, 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. The steering wheel, Naturally, is multifunctional, the unit is first driven, and also heated, it is also installed on the rear sofa. Such trifles as electric windows in a circle are not even worth excluding.

The rear-view mirror can be lowered when reversing, the audio system CD, AUX, as well as the iPod connector are controlled using a touchscreen display, 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. IN 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 next 2 configurations differ from it by the presence of all-wheel drive, more powerful engine, paddle shifters, keyless entry and start-stop systems, they are called Premium and Premium + Navi. In the initial configuration for the Honda Crossstour, the price will be exactly 2 million, but you need to find out about the older versions at car dealerships, because the prices for them vary greatly.

The Honda Crosstour is an all-wheel-drive model for traveling over any distance on roads of varying 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 ensures the ability to drive confidently in any weather, both on dry and wet roads. The multi-link suspension makes the car very stable when cornering. The front suspension uses double wishbones to facilitate deep cornering. 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 lateral rigidity, also contributes to a high level of vehicle handling.

Spacious and cozy salon allows you to comfortably accommodate five passengers. Finishing is made in American style - leather and wood-effect lining. The Active Sound Insulation System (ANC) protects passengers and the driver from external noise. The driver and passenger 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 cabin. 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 hitting obstacles 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-6 engine originally used on the 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 transmission 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 stability 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 passenger compartment is equipped with front and side airbags designed for two levels of deployment. These elements of the safety system are triggered based on the force and speed of the collision, the height of the passenger or driver. To ensure the required level of safety, the 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.
