"Honda Crossroad" is somewhat of a unique name. The world famous Japanese concern used it twice with an interval of 9 years, and without the slightest change. Two lines of crossovers were produced under this name, one of which was popular in the 90s, and the other in the 2000s.
Nineties Model
The first off-road vehicles, which became known as the Honda Crossroad, were produced from 1993 to 1998. And these cars had a very interesting history. Specialists of the Japanese concern began to develop a crossover, because at that time an active growth in demand for SUVs began. Therefore, the company bought the rights to release the Discovery model from the undisputed leader in this segment, which is the British manufacturer Land Rover.
This is how the Honda Crossroad was born. The SUV was a success. Even the delivery of cars to New Zealand was organized, but then the partnership of concerns ended. Land Rover was bought out by BMW. Production had to stoptherefore, Honda specialists have launched a new car, which has become a compact crossover CR-V.
Specifications
It should be noted that the Honda Crossroad of the 90s was a good car. It comfortably accommodated 6 passengers and the driver, this car could go off-road due to the high 24-centimeter ground clearance and all-wheel drive.
What can you say about the appearance of the Honda Crossroad SUV? The photo provided above allows you to notice that this model is very similar to the Land Rover Discovery produced in the 90s. However, this is not surprising, given the facts mentioned at the beginning.
A high-torque 3.9-liter engine was installed under the hood, producing 180 "horses". And it worked great in tandem with the 4-speed "automatic".
The equipment was also good. Disc brakes, fog lights, power mirrors, and a sunroof were installed on the car. The steering wheel could be adjusted, and there was also a tachometer on the dashboard. The package included: central locking and remote control, power windows, an additional brake light, cruise control, airbags and a few more options.
Return of the model
In 2008, the Japanese concern again used the name Crossroad. A powerful SUV with three rows of seats and impressive performance was released. The Honda Stream minivan was taken as a base, but the ground clearance and weight were increased. There is a certain sportiness and even aggressiveness in the design.
Why did experts not createnew platform? There is an explanation for this. They used their own development - a low platform, which allowed them to create a lot of free space inside the SUV. And the third row of seats managed to accommodate, which made the model even more functional. Need more luggage space? Not a problem, the developers have made it so that the seats can be removed under the floor.
Features
They are also worth noting attention, talking about the second generation of the Honda Crossroad SUV. The characteristics are good. Two engines were installed under the hood: one of them was a 1.8-liter and produced 140 “horses”, the other pleased with a capacity of 150 hp. With. and a volume of 2 liters. It is important to note that the versions were both full and front-wheel drive. But all of them were offered only with a 5-speed automatic transmission.
Expense was quite modest. A little more than 10 liters of fuel was required per 100 city kilometers, 6.8 liters were consumed on the highway. It was possible to fill the tank with 55 liters of fuel. Although this car was not designed for racing, its maximum speed is not bad - it is 173 km / h. Moreover, the speedometer needle reaches the mark of 100 km/h 10.8 seconds after the start.
This model ended in 2010. Demand fell, and the concern set to work on the development and production of the Honda Vezel crossover, which today is well known to all connoisseurs of the Japanese car industry.
