We Recommend

We recommend buying the EX-L variant of the Honda Crosstour to get the most out of your wagon. If you’re looking for performance, the V6 engine adds adequate power to the wagon. Even the base engine works well for someone who is looking for a daily driver that allows for decent ride quality.

When buying the Honda Crosstour, there are either one of the engine options that your wagon would come equipped with. The base engine option on offer is a 2.4L inline-4 engine, which is good for 192 hp of power and 162 lb.-ft of torque. As standard, it is available only with a front-wheel-drivetrain and comes attached to a 5-speed automatic transmission.

The more powerful engine is a 3.5L V6 unit, which is capable of churning out 278 hp of power and 252 lb.-ft of torque. It is available as standard with a 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission and a front-wheel-drivetrain. As optional with the EX-L, the Honda Crosstour is also available with an all-wheel-drivetrain. A V6 engine-powered Honda Crosstour can boost from a still to the 60 MPH mark in 6.7 seconds and can complete a quarter-mile run in 15.2 seconds.

In comparison, all three cars come equipped with a V6 engine and are channeled as all-wheel-drive variants only. The Nissan Murano is the only vehicle in the segment that is mated to a CVT transmission. In the acceleration test to the 60 MPH mark, the Toyota Venza clocks 6.9 seconds, while the Nissan Murano manages to achieve a similar feat in 7.3 seconds. Additionally, the Murano manages to complete a quarter-mile sprint in 15.7 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds more than Honda Crosstour.

With both engine options, the Honda Crosstour manages seemingly well fuel efficiency. The 3.5L V6 engine option averages 19 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway. Combined, it is capable of managing a mileage of 22 miles per gallon of fuel. The base engine option is considerably more efficient, averaging a combined mileage of 25 MPG. Its fuel tank has a standard capacity of 18.5 gallons and covers a total distance of 351.5 and 518 miles in the city and on the highway, respectively.

On the other hand, the Toyota Venza is the least-efficient car in the segment and also sports the least voluminous tank of 17.7 gallons.

The Honda Crosstour is based on the Accord sedan is evident in the way the cabin has been curated. It is luxurious, practical, and opulent. The dashboard has been finely drawn with a lot of attention to detail. Two screens sit centrally, and the gauge cluster that is placed behind the steering wheel is striking in appearance. The steering feels good to hold and has an exceedingly well response time. The major advantage of the Honda Crosstour is easy drivability and maneuverability. It drives like a sedan with a tranquil cabin.

The seats on offer are extremely comfortable. The Crosstour can seat five passengers without much difficulty, and there is ample space on offer. The bolstering and cushion are adequate and sports the maximum amount of legroom for front-seat passengers. However, its trunk volume of 25.7 cubic feet feels like a letdown in a segment that features considerably larger trunk sizes.

In comparison, all three cars can seat five passengers. The front row passengers are seated comfortably in wagons, while the rear seat occupants will find themselves at ease in the Toyota Venza. In terms of cargo capacity as well, the Venza gains ascendancy over its competitors, followed by the Nissan Murano, having trunk volumes of 36.2 and 32.1 cubic feet, respectively.

How intuitive is the 2016 Honda Crosstour’s infotainment system?

Whether you like or don’t like, the Honda Crosstour’s design is subjective. For some, the subtle design elements that the wagon borrows from the Honda Accord may feel impressive, while for others, it may be outmoded and old-fangled. Irrespective, the Honda Crosstour does have some likable design elements. In its stance, the wagon looks long, bulky, and dynamic. The tapering roofline does give it a unique shape and design, but it feels like it might have a bearing on the rearward visibility and cargo capacity.

The Honda Crosstour is the heaviest car in the segment and has a total curb weight of 4,105 lbs. It is 196.6 inches long, 74.7 inches wide, and 61.5 inches tall, making it the longest and widest wagon in the segment. While its ground clearance is not known, its wheelbase measures 110.5 inches.

TheHonda Crosstour may not be the most optimal choice in the wagon segment, but it still holds a lot of potential in itself. It sports the most powerful engine in the segment and manages decent economical figures as per segment standards. Its interior quality is top-notch and comes equipped with a large number of safety features. However, its complicated infotainment system, old-school design, and restricted cargo capacity work antithetical to its cause. In the segment, we recommend looking at other options for a more all-rounded option.
