For those not closely following the Honda model naming conventions, the Honda Crosstour has made a step towards independence and dropped the 'Accord' from its name. This makes the Crosstour officially its own model which is exciting.

As if to celebrate the occasion the new Honda Crosstour comes with an added, more efficient, 2.4-liter engine. Other features are sure to follow, but we won't know more about them until the Crosstour debuts at the New York Auto Show in April.

The Auto show will be held at the Javits Center on April 4th and the Crosstour will be on full display at Honda's booth on level three. The displayed model will be more of conceptual version to gauge the public's interest in the new design.

Honda is aware that Auto Shows tend to only be attended by industry folks which is why they've decided to launch the model on their website on the same day it debuts in New York. As we learn more about the new 2013 Honda Crosstour, we'll be sure to keep you in the loop. Until then, feel free to come down to McConnell Honda on 2840 Eastern Blvd in Montgomery, AL 36116 to check out all the latest new and used Honda models.
