All-new 2010 Accord Cross-Tour Debut
American Honda Motor Co. Inc. announced that the all-new 2010 Honda Accord Cross-tour is set to debut during November in the US.
The Accord Cross-tour combines the sophisticated refinement of a premium sedan with versatile characteristics of an SUV to create an entirely distinct concept within the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) segment. Leveraging the many benefits of a car-based platform, the Accord Cross-tour starts with the top-level refinement of the Accord V-6 Sedan and further expands utility with a sleek-yet-functional profile for increased cargo space.
The Accord Cross-tour is designed to fulfil multiple roles for both style and function. A bold and sleek exterior conveys a prestigious presence from the outside, while premium interior styling extends from the passenger compartment into the cargo area. Increased functionality is provided by an under-floor storage area in the rear of the vehicle and reversible cargo floor panel’s ideal for dirty objects. Cargo area access is further enhanced by a tailgate with a large opening and a low lift-over height.
All Accord Cross-tour models come standard with a 3.5-liter i-VTEC V-6 engine with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) designed for power and efficiency. The engine produces 271 horsepower at 6,200 RPM and 254 lb-ft. of torque at 5,000 RPM while achieving an EPA-rated city/highway fuel economy of 18/27 mpg1 on 2WD models. The VCM cylinder deactivation system is programmed to run on 3, 4 or 6 cylinders, based on current power requirements. A technologically advanced 5-speed automatic transmission is standard equipment. For CUV capability, the Accord Cross tour provides amble ground clearance and Real Time™ 4WD drive is available.
The Accord Cross-tour is available in two model choices, the EX and EX-L. Highlights of standard features on the Accord Cross-tour EX include: dual-zone automatic air conditioning with second row ventilation, 360-Watt AM/FM 6-disc audio system with seven speakers, easy fold-down 60-40 split rear seat back, 17-inch aluminium wheels with 225/65 R17 all-season tires, hidden removable utility box, cruise control, moon roof, auto up/down driver and front passenger side windows, rear privacy glass, steering wheel-integrated audio controls, compass and outside temperature indicator, projector beam headlights with auto-off, fog lights, chrome door handles, body-coloured power side mirrors with defrost.
