2012 Honda Crosstour Drops Accord From Name, Gets More Equipment

2012 Honda Crosstour Drops Accord From Name, Gets More Equipment: "


Honda’s Crosstour—the odd wagon/humpback/crossover amalgam has had “Accord” dropped from its name—gets a host of new features and a slightly higher price tag for 2012. The Crosstour again comes in three flavors: EX, EX-L, and EX-L with navigation, and in front- and all-wheel-drive guise (the latter is only available on EX-L models). The entry EX model gains Bluetooth connectivity, automatic headlights, USB audio connection, and a backup camera that sends its signal to a display in the rearview mirror, a feature that previously required buyers to step up to nav-equipped EX-L models, on which the view aft is displayed through the central nav screen.



The elevated equipment levels push the price of the front-wheel-drive EX model up to $31,150, a $350 increase over the 2011 EX. Prices for the 2012 front-wheel-drive EX-L see a more modest increase of $100, to $33,800. Prices for navigation-equipped EX-L models remain the same for 2012, and start at $35,900 for a front-drive model.


Other than the new kit, higher price, and streamlined name, the 2012 Honda Crosstour is still the same ugly duckling of the Honda family—albeit a versatile, higher-content ugly duckling.
