2014 Honda Crosstour Likely to "Pack" as Much as Last Year's Model

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- If there is one vehicle that has consumers confused, it is the Honda Crosstour. Most people don't know what to think of it, because it is a vehicle that looks unlike anything else on the market. However, once consumers get a chance to see everything that the Crosstour has to offer, they begin to understand exactly what it is: a fuel-efficient vehicle well-equipped for storage. Though it hasn't hit showroom floors, photos and pieces of information have been released, and it appears that the 2014 Honda Crosstour will offer just as much, if not more than the previous year's model.

Storage in the Crosstour is one of the features that has set it apart from the competition. The 2013 offers a hidden, water-resistant-removable versatility box under the cargo floor. It's a feature not seen in any vehicles like it, and one that is likely to make a return this year. Another convenient storage feature includes double-sided cargo floor panels which have carpet on one side and a durable plastic on the other, making cleanup a breeze. Not including the versatility box, the 2013 model boasts 25.7 cubic feet of storage. With the 60/40 rear seatbacks folded down, that number jumps to 51.3 cubic feet. Consumers should be relieved to know that the extensive storage capacity isn't likely to diminish in the 2014 model.

Another surprising feature of the Crosstour is the powerful highly-efficient engine. The 2013 offers a 192-horsepower 2.4-liter and an astounding 278-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 engine. In a 2WD model, the V-6 is capable of 30 mpg highway, which hardly sounds like something out of a utility vehicle. The 2013 engine was one of the first to be introduced to Honda's Earth Dreams technology, which is why the fuel economy is so high. There is no doubt that the 2014 engine will also include the technology and produce similar fuel ratings. The Crosstour not only separates itself in its innovative design, but in its performance as well.
