Poway Honda

The first images of the all-new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour have been released, about a month ahead of the car's official launch.

Honda said the new Crosstour will be positioned at the top of the Accord range.

Visually, the crossover bears only a slight resemblance to the Accord sedan and coupe. The Crosstour features a more prominent grille, a sloping X6-like roof line and a substantial rear hatch.

Honda said the Crosstour will have a "car-like ride and refinement" with taller ride height and all-weather tractability, suggesting the vehicle will feature all-wheel drive. Honda said the roomy cargo bay "can adapt to large objects that exceed the capacity of a sedan."

Honda executive Erik Berkman said, "Our concept is to broaden the appeal of the Accord lineup by leveraging traditional Accord strengths of fun-to-drive performance and handling while also adapting to dramatic shifts in the light truck marketplace. The Accord Crosstour accomplishes that by offering a modern interpretation of a CUV while integrating the refinement and efficiency of a premium sedan."

The company says it will release full details in early October.

Next evolution of the crossover offers CUV attributes while maintaining a premium sedan feel and a sporty, bold appearance

    The all-new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour evolves the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) concept by integrating a sleek and aerodynamic shape that blends sporty, low-profile contours with versatile CUV functionality, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.

    "Our concept is to broaden the appeal of the Accord line-up by leveraging traditional Accord strengths of fun-to-drive performance and handling while also adapting to dramatic shifts in the light truck marketplace," said Erik Berkman, vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "The Accord Crosstour accomplishes that by offering a modern interpretation of a CUV while integrating the refinement and efficiency of a premium sedan."

    Derived from the Accord Sedan, the Accord Crosstour maximizes car-like ride and refinement, yet maintains capabilities consistent with a CUV's increased ride height and all-weather potential. The Accord Crosstour's styling builds on the Accord's familiar character lines and adds a bolder front grille complemented by a durable lower-body appearance, wedge-shaped C-pillars and an aggressive rear stance. The flowing roofline narrows smoothly into the rear of the vehicle to create an aggressive-looking design, which conceals a unique cargo area that can adapt to large objects that exceed the capacity of a sedan.

    "We know SUV buyers like the commanding view of the road that comes with a high eye-point and like the comforts of living with an SUV," said Berkman. "This vehicle meets the needs of buyers looking for those attributes yet at the same time want an image that is different from a conventional SUV."

    The Accord Crosstour will be positioned at the top of the Accord family when it goes on sale in fall 2009. Additional details will be announced later in the year.
