Honda's new Crosstour will be in dealerships starting Nov. 24 with a starting price of $34,900 for the EX-L model in two-wheel drive. That's a fair distance from the starting price of the Toyota Venza at $28,900, but the Crosstour comes with a bigger V6 engine and a raft of other luxury features (such as leather interior) not found in the base Venza, which starts at $30,600 with a V6.
All Crosstour models feature a 271-horsepower, 3.5-litre V6 engine. There is also an EX-L four-wheel-drive version and a top-of-the-line EX-L Navi trim with Honda’s satellite-linked navigation system.
Standard features on the Crosstour EX-L include leather-trimmed seating surfaces with heated front seats, leather steering wheel, and leather gear shift knob, dual-zone automatic air conditioning with second row ventilation, 360-watt AM/FM 6-disc audio system with XM Satellite Radio, USB audio interface and seven speakers, 60-40 split rear seat back, 18-inch aluminum wheels, sunroof, power seats with memory function, fog lamps and more.
“With the recent price reduction on our existing Accord sedans and coupes, the pricing for the all-new Accord Crosstour is designed to make this vehicle an attractive option for Canadians wanting car-like handling and performance with the functionality of a sport utility vehicle,” said Jerry Chenkin, executive vice president of Honda Canada Inc.
Pricing for Crosstour in the models is: EX-L two-wheel drive (MSRP - $34,900); EX-L 4WD (MSRP - $36,900); and EX-L 4WD Navi (MSRP - $38,900) with a satellite navigation system, rearview camera and Bluetooth.
