The Honda Crosstour just recently starting hitting showroom floors across the US. This new Honda has been bred with the best performance and utility features that Honda has to offer. The Crosstour is a blessing if you happen to need cargo space, but want to drive something a little more sporty. The performance you get combined with the overall capacity for cargo makes it so you don’t have to give one up for the other. With the massive cargo space in the back, it can be a great choice for those who frequently travel and work out of their car. You get an SUV with the performance of an Accord that makes about 260 horsepower with its 3.5L i-VTEC V6 engine.
Honda has some great utility features in their cars, and the Crosstour is another example. In the back when you open the hatch there are compartments with removable trays that can be configured to maximize the cargo space. When you lower the back seats you can see there is a tremendous amount of space, plenty of room for a mountain bike or other equipment.
Whether you are into biking, camping or sports, you’ll have no problem stowing your gear in the Crosstour and still having room to pick up the groceries on the way home. There are few cars that really bring all of these qualities together into a single vehicle without comprimising the look. If you’ve never driven an Accord, you’d be surprised at how quick they are. Then combine that with the benefits of all the cargo space and you’ll be able to get a lot of use out of this vehicle.
For the home repair do-it-yourselfers out there the Crosstour would work out well for trips to the lumber yard. The back of the Crosstour should have some type of full length rubber mat that would cover the entire area if the seats were folded down. That way if you wanted to use it for carrying some materials it would protect the interior.
There are some really interesting uses for this car and would suit a family quite well. It has features that would appeal to the stay at home mom who has her kids in lots of activities like soccer, dance, volleyball, etc. It also appeals to the guy who travels for business and wants something a little more sporty than a SUV but with the cargo room.
Finally, you might find yourself eyeballing the Crosstour for that next Oklahoma Sooners game on Nov. 28th. Open the back, lift out the tray and wala, you have the perfect built-in ice chest to let the tailgating party begin.
