I purchased a black on black 2013 Crosstour EX-L V6 4WD with 72,000 miles about 2 months ago after a lot of research. I have to say that the improved difference between the 2010 and the 2013 is substantial. I love almost everything about this car and look forward to driving it every day. I have to say that we have another SUV so we don't need the extra rear cargo space and view out the back window takes some getting use to but its not that bad. Since the car is black you can't even see where the paint ends and tinted windows begin.To me it looks like a big limo like car. If you may have noticed, the styling of newer cars in the last 5 years has migrated away from the boxiness to more of a sculptured styling like the Crosstour. Everyone has their own styling tastes and I just happen to like this one. The driving experience is what makes this car. Honda made a lot of improvements in the new 2013. The steering is very tight, braking is great, it's extremely quiet even at highway speeds, Awesome sound systems - Pandora, podcasts, Sirius xm, AHA. 3 video cameras- back, side and front for safety displayed on an 8 inch screen. Front collision and lane creep warning from the front camera. Gas mileage -20 mpg city but last trip averaging 75 to 80 mph was just under 30 mpg. I have milked it on other trips and seen 34 mph. Acceleration - 0 to 60 in under 6 seconds - with paddle shifters, need I say more. This car is fun to drive.

This is my brothers car. He has the black version. The trunk is amazing. All the panels can come out and flip over for a hard rugged shell. There are even small cubbies on the right and left panels. You can take out the storage tray for cleaning or moving. We went camping and could fit a lot. It’s also fun to drive and pretty fast to accelerate. It also kind of kicks you back when it takes off.

This is a nice overview of this amazing car. In reviewing the various KZfaq videos for Honda CrossTours, I see a fair amount of disinformation and some confusion. So here goes from a 2015 EX-L owner: These cars were manufactured for only six model years, 2010 to 2015 at the Accord plant in Ohio. They were originally badged as an "Accord CrossTour" and were availble with either a 2.4 Liter in-line 4 cylinder engine producing around 192 HP or the J35Y V6 which, in the last year, pushed out 278 HP. You can think of them as "an Accord with a hatch" and, if so equipped, "all wheel drive." The J35 really comes alive around 3700 rpm. Transmission was either a five-speed automatic or, in later years with the J35Y engine, a six speed automatic. No CVT nor manual. Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive was available. With AWD, the power stays primarily with the front wheels until a loss of traction is sensed, then additional power is shifted to the rear wheels. My Honda tech tells me to think of it as "90% on the front wheels all the time and, when called for, 60/40 split between front and rear"). The primary purpose of the AWD system is additional stability on paved roads, not for off-roading. All models showed "dual exhaust" but it was show only. For the V6, the exhaust is chanelled into one pipe, then split near the rear. The four cylinder, of course, has only one exit for the exhaust from the engine. Some early V6 customers complained about the VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) systems which shuts down fuel to 1/2 the cylinders when not needed. In years of driving mine I've never experienced an issue and routinely get 30 mpg when crusing at 70 mph. The J35 engine is an interference engine. This means that, should the valve train cease working, it's possible (and highly likely) that a piston will crash into an open valve. For that reason, Honda recommends changing the timing belt at 105,000 miles and every 105,000 miles thereafter. Since the water pump has to come off at the same time, it's prudent to replace that and the pulleys when you do the belt. Cost is usually $850 to $1050 for this service. In my opinion, this car was ahead of its time. You will have to go far and wide to find anyone who has owned a CrossTour and didn't fall in love with the car. Honda built it for functionality, not style, although those who love these cars love the look, as well. If you look, you will now see that BMW and Mercedes have vehicles that look very similar to the CrossTour. Additonally, I had this engine/transmission set up in my 2004 Saturn VUE (sometimes called a "Honda Vue") and, when I sold this that vehicle it had 232,000 miles on it, with only routine maintenance. No oil or transmission leaks or issues for the 12 years I owned it. These cars are getting harder and harder to find. If you look for one, I recommend the V6 AWD version. But if the car has over 100,000 miles on it, make sure the timing belt service was performed or get it done immediately after you take possession. (The one person I know who did not perform the timing belt service had theirs break at 170,000 miles, so you have a bit of room there). The 4 cylinder does not require the timing belt service. Most of the 2014/2015 models were painted black. My guess is that Honda knew it was phasing out the cars and, since black paint is less expensive, made that choice. However, there's nothing like a black car when the paint is buffed and shined.

VCM/cylinder deactivation is the work of the devil and should be disabled on any Honda VCM V6. Its cause's uneven wear on the cylinders, vibrations/hesitation while driving, fouls spark plugs, and kill's engine mounts. I have a 09 Accord V6 and 1st thing i did is buy the VCMUZZLER for it. Now it runs on all 6 cylinders all the time and runs better than ever. Too top it all off my fuel economy stayed the exact same....

Funny - I’ve owned a Saab, Nissan Maxima, infinity FX35, and a variety of other cars. Bought a red Crosstour in 2010. Still going strong in 2021. And it remains the one car that people randomly ask me “I like it - what car is that?” And walk around it, checking it out in parking lots and ask me about it at stop lights - more than any car I’ve owned. There are certainly many great and beautiful (and far more expensive) cars out there - I’ve always like me the look of the Crosstour. Have had four unsolicited offers to buy it in the last year.

Honda was ahead of the game when it came to crossover looks - the price and lack of AWD on base model is definitely what put a nail in the coffin for this amazing crossover. the looks are... odd in the rear, but trust me, when you look at accords of the same generation, you start to appreciate the back end/height clearance of the Crosstour a lot more! I think most people are accustomed to accords front end of that same generation so when they see the rear end it *really* turns their head and makes them scratch it. My Crosstour has gotten the most attention of all my 'unique' cars as well - though, a 99 Volvo s70 and 2012 accord lx aren't too unique comparatively.
