The Accord gets a lift into crossover territory.

1. It's not a Honda version of the Acura ZDX.

Not long ago, Honda's luxury division, Acura, introduced a similar-looking vehicle, the ZDX. Like the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour, it's aimed at empty-nest types who want to throw extra gear in back, but don't need a full-blown three-row crossover. Like the Crosstour, it's also brimming with an added layer of refinement. However, the ZDX is based on the MDX platform, and is dimensionally very similar. The Crosstour is based on the Accord sedan, and is much closer to that vehicle. Despite their superficial appearances, the ZDX and Crosstour are actually quite different under the skin.
