Honda Crosstour fuses mix of many great features

To start new year, the Honda Crosstour models will begin selling with improved fuel efficiency and a more affordable price.

The new Crosstour features two available trims, the EX and leather-upholstered EX-L, which also comes with a satellite-linked navigation system.

Launching this year is the new four-cylinder Crosstour, with an automatic dimming rearview mirror, a rearview back-up camera display for improved rear visibility, auto on/off headlights, Bluetooth and USB audio interface all standard.

The four-cylinder Crosstour has increased the fuel mileage to 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, a step up from the V6 model's EPA estimated mpg.

From Honda:

Bold Exterior and Functional Interior

Honda Crosstour approaches the crossover SUV formula from a distinctively sleek, sporty and fuel-efficient perspective, while also maximizing the interior's cargo capacity, versatility and premium feel.

The exterior design emphasizes a bold, aerodynamic look that also conceals an accommodating rear cargo area. The four-cylinder model includes body-color door handles and unique 17-inch alloy wheels with P225/65 R17 all-season tires. Two new colors are available on all 2012 Crosstour models: Twilight Blue Metallic replaces Glacier Blue Metallic, and Basque Red Pearl II replaces Tango Red Pearl.

Premium interior styling, appointments and details extend from the passenger compartment all the way through the cargo area. An under-floor storage area in the rear of the vehicle adds functionality, while reversible cargo floor panels accommodate dirty objects.

Efficient Four-cylinder Powertrain
The new four-cylinder Crosstour models come with a 2.4-liter, 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC engine for power and efficiency. The engine produces 192 horsepower at 7,000 RPM and 162 lb-ft. of torque at 4,400 RPM, while achieving an EPA-estimated city/highway/combined fuel economy of 21/29/24 mpg. To maximize efficiency, a technologically advanced 5-speed automatic transmission with Grade Logic Control is sLinktandard equipment.

Comprehensive Feature List
In addition to auto-on/off headlights, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, USB audio interface and rearview mirror back-up camera display with integrated guidelines, additional standard features on the new four-cylinder Crosstour EX include projector-beam headlights, a moonroof, body-colored power side mirrors with defrost, auto-up/down driver and front passenger side windows, and rear privacy glass. Inside are air conditioning with second-row ventilation, a 360-watt AM/FM 6-disc audio system with seven speakers, steering wheel-mounted cruise, audio and phone controls, an easy fold-down 60-40 split rear seatback, a hidden removable utility box and more.

Crosstour EX-L adds leather-trimmed seating surfaces with heated front seats, a memory driver-side seat and memory-linked side mirrors with reverse gear tilt-down capability, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob, dual-zone automatic climate control, an automatic dimming rearview mirror, a premium audio system with Kevlar cone speakers and front aluminum dome-type tweeter speakers, XM Radio and more. Also available on the Crosstour EX-L is the Honda Satellite-linked Navigation System which includes a rearview camera with guidelines integrated into the display.

Safety Assets
Safety technology includes the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, a Honda-exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. Additional safety equipment on the Crosstour includes Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA), anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution and brake assist, side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, driver's and front passenger's side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags, and active front seat head restraints.

The Crosstour is assembled in Ohio at the Honda of America Mfg., Inc., East Liberty Auto Plant using domestic and globally sourced parts.

Warranty
The 2012 Honda Crosstour is covered by a 3-year/36,000-mile new-car limited warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, and a 5-year/unlimited-mile corrosion limited warranty.

Multiple Honda models earn safety picks

Honda has announced 12 models received the highest safety rating of Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Included among the models is the all-new 2012 CR-V, which goes on sale today at Honda Mall of Georgia.

With more demanding guidelines than previous years, the IIHS award tests front, side and rear crashes as well as rollover performance and determines how well the vehicles do in protecting the passengers.

The Honda Fit, CR-Z, Insight, Accord, CR-V, Pilot and Ridgeline all earned the highest-possible rating of Good in all four rankings. The all-new Civic and Odyssey earned the Top Safety Pick earlier in the year.

"We're proud to have achieved IIHS TOP SAFETY TOP rating for nine new 2012 Honda models and three 2012 Acura models, making American Honda among the best in the industry with twelve vehicles with top-class IIHS safety ratings under their new, more stringent ratings protocols," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. in a released statement. "In fact, 91% of American Honda vehicles sold in the U.S. are TOP SAFETY PICKS. This accomplishment is part of a concerted effort we have made to reassert the Honda brand as a clear leader in this area."
