Styling Conceals Surprising Versatility

Next evolution of the crossover offers CUV attributes while maintaining a premium sedan feel and a sporty, bold appearance.

TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 1, 2009 – The all-new 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour evolves the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV)
concept by integrating a sleek and aerodynamic shape that blends sporty, low-profile contours with versatile CUV functionality,
American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.

“Our concept is to broaden the appeal of the Accord line-up by leveraging traditional Accord strengths of fun-to-drive
performance and handling while also adapting to dramatic shifts in the light truck marketplace,” said Erik Berkman, vice president
of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “The Accord Crosstour accomplishes that by offering a modern interpretation
of a CUV while integrating the refinement and efficiency of a premium sedan.”

Derived from the Accord Sedan, the Accord Crosstour maximizes car-like ride and refinement, yet maintains capabilities
consistent with a CUV’s increased ride height and all-weather potential. The Accord Crosstour’s styling builds on the Accord’s
familiar character lines and adds a bolder front grille complemented by a durable lower-body appearance, wedge-shaped
C-pillars and an aggressive rear stance. The flowing roofline narrows smoothly into the rear of the vehicle to create an
aggressive-looking design, which conceals a unique cargo area that can adapt to large objects that exceed the capacity of a sedan.

“We know SUV buyers like the commanding view of the road that comes with a high eye-point and like the comforts of living
with an SUV,” said Berkman. “This vehicle meets the needs of buyers looking for those attributes yet at the same time want an
image that is different from a conventional SUV.”

The Accord Crosstour will be positioned at the top of the Accord family when it goes on sale in fall 2009. Additional details will
be announced later in the year. Consumer information is available at automobiles.honda.com/future-cars. An Accord Crosstour
