Model profile

Model history and generations

Production years and key changes

The Crossouter launched for model year 2010 as the Accord Crosstour, based on the eighth-generation Accord. Honda dropped the Accord prefix for 2012 and gave the car a mid-cycle refresh for 2013 that softened the polarizing front end and added the four-cylinder engine option. Production ran through the 2015 model year, after which Honda discontinued it in favor of a growing conventional SUV lineup.

Powertrain and equipment

Engines, drivetrain and trims

What is under the hood

Two engines were offered. The volume choice is Honda's 3.5-liter J35 V6, producing roughly 271 hp and 254 lb-ft, mated to a five-speed (later six-speed) automatic. From 2013 a 2.4-liter K24 four-cylinder with about 192 hp arrived, paired with a five-speed automatic and front-wheel drive only.

Trims and body styles

The Crossouter came only as the five-door fastback wagon-crossover. Trims mirrored the Accord family: EX and EX-L, with the top EX-L V6 adding leather, a navigation option, a premium audio system, and available all-wheel drive.

Vehicle selection

North American market and suitability

What the US market offers

Because the Crossouter sold in modest numbers, the used pool is smaller than a mainstream Accord or CR-V, but it is steady across the US.

Who this import is for

The Crossouter suits a buyer who wants Accord reliability and refinement in a raised, cargo-friendly body that is genuinely rare on European roads.

Pre-purchase review

Model-specific inspection points

Reliability: trouble spots to check

Crossouter reliability is a strong point, reflecting its Accord roots. The most discussed weak spot is the J35's Variable Cylinder Management, which on some cars leads to elevated oil consumption and premature spark-plug or piston-ring wear; many owners fit a VCM disabler as preventive care. Watch for the age-related items common to this platform: front motor mounts, power-steering pump seepage, and rear brake wear.

Germany and Europe

Differences, adaptation and registration

US vs. Europe differences

As a US-market-only car, the Crossouter carries American lighting with amber markers, a mph speedometer, US emissions tuning, and often a navigation database keyed to North America.

From modifications to registration

For approval, plan on lighting adjustments: headlamp beam pattern, side-marker handling, and adding a rear fog lamp if not present.

USCar Trader services

Inspection, purchase processing and escrow

As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.

  • Vehicle profile and history: The profile can show the VIN, US title status and available history records. No data source guarantees that every earlier event was reported.
  • Optional CARFAX report: Additional reported maintenance or service entries can be included. The report is not a complete service book or proof of every interval.
  • On-site inspection / USCT AutoCheck: USCar Trader can arrange a separately booked vehicle inspection. Agreed visible and accessible areas are documented. Road or functional tests require suitable access and seller approval; the visual review is not a lift inspection or workshop diagnosis.
  • Purchase processing and escrow: After approval, USCar Trader can coordinate seller contact, negotiation, contract and the escrow and import service. Fees, payment route and responsibilities are recorded in advance.
  • Recalls: Open safety recalls can be checked by VIN through the NHTSA recall search; they do not describe overall condition.

Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.

Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.

Questions and answers

Common questions about importing this model

Is the Honda Crosstour reliable?

Yes. It shares Accord mechanicals and is generally dependable, with the main caveat being VCM-related oil use on some V6 examples.

Was the Crosstour sold in Europe?

No. It was a North-America-only model, which is part of its appeal as an import.

Which engine should I choose?

The 3.5L V6 is the smoother, more capable choice and the only one offered with all-wheel drive; the 2.4L four-cylinder is more economical and front-drive only.

Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?

No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

How is import VAT treated when importing a Honda Crosstour?

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.

What is VCM and should I worry about it?

Variable Cylinder Management deactivates cylinders to save fuel; on some cars it correlates with oil consumption, which is why many owners fit a disabler.

How rare is the Crosstour in Germany?

Very. It was never sold new here, so a well-kept import stands out.

How long does importing take?

Usually several weeks, mostly determined by shipping schedules and customs clearance.
