Research pending

A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.

Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.

A place in vehicle history

More than a set of wheels.

Honda launched the second-generation Crossroad in Japan in February 2007. It mixed SUV styling with compact-car dimensions and seating for seven. The name covered several drivetrains, so this page fixes the identity to the original front-wheel-drive 20X with the two-litre engine.

Look a little closer.

The rear doors open to about 80 degrees to make the second and third rows easier to reach.

Three rows without a very long body

The Crossroad is 4,285 mm long yet carries seven people. Honda replaced a spare wheel with a puncture-repair kit to free space near the third row, and the second-row seat can tilt and slide forward using a shoulder-mounted lever.

A different job for the intake valves

Under light load, the R20A can delay closing its intake valves. Together with drive-by-wire throttle control, that reduces pumping work during steady cruising. This is a reminder that variable valve control can help efficiency as well as maximum power.
