Reviewed a 2013 Honda EX-L V6 on Nov 18, 2025

The 2013 Honda Crosstour EX-L is very comfortable on the inside and the 270 horsepower V6 engine has a satisfactory amount of power for daily driving and off-roading. The fact that it is a Honda means you are also getting a great combination of power and reliability in this vehicle. I think this car is good value if you're looking for reliability, 6-cylinder power, no CVT, SUV-levels of space, and if the SUV-Coupe design language is your preference. (Similar to a CLE Coupe or GLE Coupe). I personally like it; it feels much more like an elevated sedan than a crossover or SUV because the ground clearance is lower. The only big Flaw/Con with this vehicle is the lack of Rear Window visibility. It's hard to really see much so I have to rely on my rear view mirrors, which I dont mind too much but, it is something you should consider when researching if this vehicle is right for you. Other than that, the vehicle rides smooth, it has a very healthy amount of horsepower and torque at the low end (city driving) and at the high end (highway/merging). The Stock speakers have decent bass translation. The seats are very comfortable once adjusted to your liking. If you drive it carefully and mindfully, you can pretty easily get up to 25-28 mpg. (this is extremely impressive for a non-hybrid 6-cylinder engine from 12 years ago) I typically get around 22 to 23 mpg because my wheels aren't OEM/stock so they add a decent amount of weight and they slightly diminish some of the aerodynamics of the car which means the engine has to work a lil harder to compensate. The infotainment is a bit of a learning curve as well so, that's actually another minor con. I compare this vehicle to sedans and SUVs alike because it really feels like you are driving a sedan but, you have the unmatched utility and versatility of an SUV. If you don't need/want extra space for putting things in the car, just get a V6 Accord sedan or a V6 Accord Coupe. If you want/need the extra space but still want better rear visibility, go for a Honda Pilot or a Nissan Pathfinder; they both should have reliable 6-cylinder options with no CVT, plenty of extra space and much better rear window visibility. Final Verdict - I'd rate this car a 4.39/5 - mainly because the lack of rear window visibility. Everything else I can easily live with. I'd recommend this car if this design language speaks to you or if you don't have or don't want to spend Benz/Audi SUV-Coupe money and don't want to deal with expensive maintenance costs and reliability issues, this is a great alternative. You can always customize it, even though the aftermarket is a bit lacking. I'd recommend TruHart coilovers and new wheels to make it look a lot closer to a CLE/GLE. Definitely makes it look more premium imo. Do lots of research and come to your own conclusions on whether this is the right car for you.
