2010 Honda Accord Crossover

As is typically the case, Honda never provides its dealers with formal announcements of future vehicles until they are about to ship. This is the case with the new 2010 Accord Crossover that will be available next year.

According to Consumer Guide Auto, this new Accord will be based upon the European-market Accord wagon that has been modified to offer elevated ride height, a few telling inches spliced into the body, and an Accord sedan nose.

They suggest that the new Accord Crossover will be built in Honda's Marysville, Ohio facility where the Accord is built and where the rumored new 2010 Acura Personal Wagon, based upon the Accord-derived Acura TL premium-midsize sedan, will be built.

Like the Venza, the Accord Crossover will have unique tall-body styling without traditional wagon boxiness, plus a slightly larger footprint than its sedan parent. It will also mimic the Toyota Venza with two-row seating for five passengers and no third-row option.

Left Lane News reports that the new Accord Crossover will be available withe Honda’s VTM-4 AWD system.

Left Lane News suggest the new Honda Accord Crossover will be named "Latitude" while Consumer Guide Auto suggests the "Passport" name will be recycled.

Bernardi Parts will offer a complete selection of Accord Crossover parts and Accord Crossver accessories as soon as they become available.

We don’t expect to see the new Honda Accord Crossover until next year.
