www.autobytel.c... The Honda Crosstour made its debut as a 2012 model and is essentially the hatchback wagon version of a Honda Accord. Now we get a revised version that includes a facelift on the outside, updates to the interior, upgraded technology, and a new Earth Dreams engine that is more fuel efficient and more powerful. The 2014 Honda Crosstour has a base price of $27,230.
With over 20 models sold by Honda here in the U.S.; it's hard to understand why this vehicle exists But as sales have shown, there is a niche for this vehicle in the CUV segment. The Honda Crosstour is a great choices for a number of different car buyers including: families, couples with young children, and even retired people where an Accord or Camry isn't quite enough as they need that extra space out back but do not necessarily want to invest in an SUV or large CUV. Hence the Crosstour is the perfect vehicle.
For the first few years of its existence, the Crosstour did not compete very well with other vehicles in this segment like the Toyota Venza or the Subaru Outback. But Honda has given this car a new lease on life with beefier looks, luxurious interior, and upgraded powerplant. The result is improved sales and a car that meets the needs of more people, perfectly.
Under the hood lives an Earth Dreams V-6 engine that includes Variable Valve Timing and Variable Cylinder Management. The 3.5 liter V-6 engine makes 278 horsepower and 252 lb-ft. of torque. Power is put down through a 6-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy is 20 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway. There is also a less powerful 4-cylinder that averages a little bit better fuel economy.
On the inside, the Crosstour has a very nice design. There are 2 screen located in the center console, one controls the navigation and while the other is for the radio. The 2014 Honda Crosstour is a good buy if need extra cargo space along with the reliability of a Honda.

It's less polarizing now, since BMW can out with the X6 and a few other manufacturers have done similar designs. I thought it was laughable when it debuted but now I really like the looks of it. Plus, having owned many German cars in the past, including one right now, I would take Honda reliability any day over many of the other offerings.

Its funny when this car first came out people questioned the look or reason. Over the years I've seen a few of them on the road and they are really nice. The quality of the build and interior out classes some the current best in class like the Subaru outback. You can get the V6 for the same price or less what others are charging for a four. I'm actually considering the 2015 model.

This is a good review unlike many guys that trash this car based on their personal preferences. I've owned a 2012 EX-L for about a year and the car is awesome. It pulls hard with the 278hp and it's real spacious and inside. The lack of visibility that he talks about doesn't bother me, I can see fine. The only thing I will say is that it needs wider tires.

A very fair review -- probably the fairest I've seen regarding this car, which too many professional reviewers have dismissed out of hand because they don't like the looks. On KBB, 80 consumers rate this car 9.3 out of 10, so real people who own it love it. Looking at the mechanical specs, it is virtually the same as the TSX Sport Wagon. You can't even get a V6 in the TSX Wagon. But Honda hasn't really advertised this car much. When I first saw it I had no idea what it was.

Obviously, the body is different than the TSX, which accounts for the difference in cargo capacity. But the mechanical underpinnings are identical -- notwithstanding the suspension tweaks made on each. Go to the Honda website, pull up their comparison tool, then plug in the 4-cyl CT vs, the TSX Wagon. I don't see a dime's worth of difference, mechanically.

This is nothing like a TSX wagon.Crosstour fwd 4 cyl is 100+ lbs heavier, 8" taller with 0.3" greater ground clearance (which makes it uncessarily top heavy) with 15 fewer cubic feet total cargo capacity while being 7" longer. It's inefficiently packaged bc they sacrifice space for style.Bigger bulkier with only 1 extra cubic foot of total interior space.They should have started with a traditional wagon like the TSX then added the v6.

OK I will be the only one here that has these problems, I own a 2015 honda crosstour it now has 1700 miles(note:brand freakin new), in 6th gear going 60 mph when you touch the gas slightly there is a grinding/ratting noise coming from under the car and I can even feel it in the gas peddle. If there is anyone else with this plz let me know I hope it's not a bad thing. I have also noticed real hard shifting, like you can hear the gears popping in to place. I was going up hill in sport mode and when I went around a corner it downshifted really hard is the normal?? other then that it's a nice car it dose get up and go

MrProTechHD I have about 8000 miles (12,500 km) on mine and I haven't even broken the pads in! I have no wear on them and I live in British Columbia in the mountain town of Nelson. I drive in S mode down hills and use my shifter to reduce speed. The S mode does increase the strength of braking and it also increases the hold-back from the transmission by eliminating the torque convertor slush. If you want to save brakes you have to use the gears. If you drive patiently, you will also notice the fuel economy goes way up the farther you drive back from traffic. People who brake a lot induce the car to shift down and the car begins to sense your driving style. It will stay out of econo mode longer and it will always be prepared to stop, which costs you gas and brakes.

Too big, too heavy and not enough rear-seat and cargo room for the size. All of which would be almost OK if the Crosstour was reasonably sleek and stylish, but to my eyes it's bulbous and clumsy-looking. Yes, I know that's a subjective assessment, but here the local Honda dealer doesn't even stock the Crosstour because people just aren't buying them. I guess they feel the same way...
