Last week at the New York International Auto Show, Honda revealed the 2013 Crosstour Concept, a mid-size CUV that will go on sale at Honda Mall of Georgia this fall.
The 2013 Crosstour will be available with a V6 and six-speed automatic transmission, with a four cylinder version optional.
"Fueled by a combination of versatility, luxury, and efficiency, owners have demonstrated remarkable devotion to the Honda Crosstour," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda, in a released statement. "The 2013 Crosstour Concept shows how Honda will strengthen the styling and add even more content to one of the most efficient offerings in the class."
Design status
The Crosstour Concept has been restyled to provide a mean front-end and clean rear fascia. The mid-size crossover will look more SUV-like with a new rear-fender finish.
The new grille is bolstered by new integrated foglamp treatments and a slotted finish beneath the headlights. Sporting 18-inch alloy wheels, the Crosstour Concept is painted a similar color to the two new shades available with the 2013 Crosstour.
Honda says the interior will feature heavily revised trim materials and an 8-inch in-dash information display, keyless ignition and steering wheel mounted paddle shifter on the V6 models.
Two powertrains will be available in the 2013 Crosstour: a 3.5-liter, 24-valve, SOHC, i-VTEC V6 engine or a 2.4-liter i-VTEC inline four cylinder engine, according to Honda. The V6 models will have a six-speed automatic transmission and Honda Variable Cylinder Management to improve fuel economy. Honda's Real Time 4WDTM system, which sends power to all four wheels when front-wheel slippage is detected, will be available on the Crosstour EX-L model.
All in the name of safety
Honda has mounted a camera behind the windshield to alert drivers if the car is veering from its lane or to warn drivers of a potential collision in front of them. This camera will be used for the Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Warning technology. Honda-exclusive LaneWatch blind-spot display is another safety option which uses a camera system mounted on the passenger mirror for a better view of the passenger-side roadway. An ExpandedView Driver's Mirror will also be standard on the Crosstour. Other standard features include an auto dimming rearview mirror, auto on/off headlights, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink and USB audio interface. A hard-drive based navigation system, Pandora Radio interface, XM Satellite radio and an SMS text-to-speech function are other available features, according to Honda.
