Honda is expanding the range of its Accord-based Crosstour model with the addition of a four-cylinder, two-wheel drive version that goes on sale today priced from $27,655, or $28,465 if you include an $810 destination and handling charge. That's $2,685 less than the equivalent V6 model. The new entry level Crosstour sports a 2.4-liter i-VTEC inline four-cylinder engine that develops 192 horsepower matched to a standard 5-speed automatic transmission, delivering 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, an improvement of 3 mpg and 2 mpg respectively over the V6 model.
Speaking about the new model, John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda said: "The new four-cylinder Crosstour offers sleek design, unmatched passenger comfort and ingenious functionality now with four-cylinder pricing and fuel economy. With four-cylinder and V6 options and a long list of standard features, Crosstour should be on every CUV buyer's shopping list."
Along with the launch of the new four-cylinder Crosstour, Honda announced the addition of several standard features across the entire range, which include an automatic dimming rearview mirror, a rearview mirror back-up camera display (non-Navigation models), convenient auto-on/off headlights, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink and USB audio interface.
