Honda Accord Crosstour 2013 facelift previewed as concept

by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury. April 5, 2012.

The 2013 Honda Accord Crosstour just debuted at the 2012 New York Auto Show, except that Honda is choosing to call it a concept for now.

All it looks to be is a facelifted version of the existing Crosstour, and that too largely from the front. It is expected that the production model will feature updated versions of a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder and a 3.5-litre V6, mated to an all-wheel-drive system, but now featuring a new 6-speed automatic with paddle-shifters. The actual wheels will also be smaller than the show-car’s 19-inchers.

Whether the new face will help sales is another matter, but it shows the styling direction of the upcoming 2013 Honda Accord, while confirming that it will just be a facelift of the existing version rather than a new-from-the-ground-up model.
