What kind of transmission does a Honda Crosstour have?
The Honda Crosstour uses a five-speed automatic transmission across its engine options, with optional all-wheel drive. There was no manual transmission or CVT offered on this model during its production run.
To understand this question in fuller detail, it helps to know the two engines Honda offered for the Crosstour and how each was paired with a single, shared automatic gearbox, plus how the available drivetrain configurations interacted with that transmission.
Engine options and their transmissions
The Crosstour was available with two powertrains, both paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The following breakdown summarizes how each engine option connected to the gearbox.
- 2.4-liter inline-four (I4) engine — paired with a five-speed automatic transmission.
- 3.5-liter V6 engine — paired with a five-speed automatic transmission.
Across both engine choices, Honda did not offer a manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) on the Crosstour; the sticks with a 5-speed automatic remained consistent throughout its production life.
Drivetrain options
In addition to engine choices, buyers could select between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, with the transmission remaining the same five-speed automatic in both configurations.
- Front-wheel drive (FWD) was standard on most trims.
- All-wheel drive (AWD) was available as an option on select trims.
Overall, the Honda Crosstour employed a five-speed automatic transmission regardless of engine or drivetrain choice, reflecting Honda’s design approach for this model during its 2009–2015 production run.
Summary
Summary: The Honda Crosstour, produced from 2009 to 2015, uses a five-speed automatic transmission for both the 2.4L I4 and 3.5L V6 powertrains, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available as an option. There was no manual or CVT offering for this model line.
