This Accord-based crossover-style liftback debuted for the 2010 model year as a new interpretation of the midsize family car formula, blending sedan origins with a taller roofline, hatchback cargo access and available all-wheel drive. It was built in Ohio and positioned as a more versatile alternative to a conventional sedan without moving fully into SUV territory. The nameplate was short-lived under this exact badging: it appeared for the 2010 and 2011 model years, after which the Accord prefix was dropped and the vehicle continued simply as Crosstour for subsequent model years. That makes this an early, transitional chapter in the crossover’s history rather than a long-running separate series. Enthusiast interest tends to focus on its unusual shape and its role as one of Honda’s more experimental U.S.-market entries of the era, bridging the gap between the Accord sedan and the brand’s truck-based utility lineup.
