2014 Honda Crosstour offers a great combination of practicality typical for the crossover, sedan-like drivability and premium equipment. Some of the standard and optional features included in this Honda are the keyless Smart Entry with Push Button start, LaneWatch blind-spot display, and powerful and fuel-efficient Earth Dreams V-6 engine.
The practicality of the car is delivered by the four-way configurable, 51.3 cubic feet of cargo area, the hidden removable utility box, and the comfortable seating for five. 2014 Crosstour will be offered in two front-wheel-drive trim options (EX, EX-L) powered by either a four-cylinder engine or a powerful 278 horsepower (204 kW) V-6 with Variable Cylinder Management. EX-L V-6 model is also available with Real Time 4WD.
Other standard equipment here includes a rearview camera with guidelines, Bluetooth HandsFree Link, USB/iPod connection, fog lights, one-touch turn signals and an expanded view driver’s mirror as standard equipment. On the other hand, the available features include HondaLink featuring Ahacompatibility, Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW).
To be more precise, the four-cylinder two-wheel-drive EX and EX-L Crosstour models are equipped with the fuel efficient 2.4-liter, 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC® powertrain. The unit generates 192 horsepower (141 kW) and 220 Nm (162 lb-ft.) of torque, and it is matched with 5-speed automatic transmission with Grade Logic Control.
Next, the Earth Dreams Technology 3.5-liter, 24-valve SOHC i-VTEC® V-6 engine is available on the two-wheel-drive EX and EX-L and is standard on the 4-wheel drive EX-L. To go further into details, it uses Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) which allows the engine to run on three or six cylinders. It produces 278 horsepower (204 kW) and 341 Nm (252 lb-ft.) of torque, and it is coupled with an automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Crosstour’s exterior stance is sleek and sporty and shows a perfect dynamic posture. The standard exterior features on Crosstour EX include chrome door handles, 17-inch alloy wheels and P225/65R-17 all-season tires, while the available ones feature auto-on/off projector-beam headlights, a one-touch power moonroof with tilt, body-colored folding power side mirrors with defrost, auto-up/down driver’s and front passenger’s windows, and rear privacy glass.
The four-wheel independent suspension of the car comes with a double-wishbone front and independent multi-link rear, front and rear stabilizer bars, a front strut tower bar, power-assisted ventilated front and solid rear disc brakes. Crosstour provides 6.2 inches of maximum ground clearance in addition to the available Real Time 4WD system.
Going inside the vehicle, there is a premium interior styling visible. The features here include air conditioning with an air-filtration system, a 360-watt AM/FM 6-disc CD audio system with seven speakers, Bluetooth HandsFreeLin®, a USB audio interface, steering wheel-mounted cruise, audio and phone controls, an auto day/night dimming rearview mirror, an easy fold-down 60-40 split rear seatback, a hidden removable utility box, reversible floor panels and more.

Honda’s Satellite-linked Navigation System will be offered as an option on the EX-L models.
The safety and driver assistive technologies in the 2014 Crosstour feature Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, 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 Honda’s Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systems are standard for all of the trim levels. At last, in the car are integrated technologies and design features which improve driver’s outward visibility. These are reshaped rear headrests, a standard rearview camera, a new Expanded View Driver’s Mirror, and the LaneWatch blind spot camera.
