The Accord gets a lift into crossover territory.

7. It gets decent gas mileage.

Even though the Crosstour only comes with a V6, it still gets pretty good gas mileage, but it's not class leading. A front-drive Crosstour gets 18 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined; all-wheel drive gets you 17/25/20. That beats the Venza's highway scores by 1 mpg for front drivers, but matches it on the all-wheel drive versions. In city scoring, the Venza still has an edge, beating the Crosstour's score by 1 mpg in front and all-wheel drive configurations. The Nissan Murano -- another sedan-based crossover vehicle -- matches it in the city but loses out on highway scores by 4 mpg and 2 mpg for front and all-wheel drive models, respectively.
