2014 HONDA CROSSTOUR

If you're searching for a 2014 Honda Crosstour EX-L for sale in Sacramento, CA, this burgundy sport utility 4D at R&A Auto Sales deserves a serious look. Priced at $12,990 with 134,340 miles, this Crosstour EX-L represents a compelling blend of Honda reliability, premium features, and that distinctive fastback SUV style — all at a price point that makes a lot of sense for Sacramento-area buyers watching their budget without wanting to compromise on quality.

About This 2014 Honda Crosstour EX-L

The Honda Crosstour occupied a unique space in the Honda lineup — think of it as a raised, all-weather-friendly Accord with a sweeping roofline and hatchback versatility. This 2014 model in burgundy sits in the EX-L trim, which is the top-tier non-V6 trim level, meaning you're getting genuine luxury appointments without overpaying. At 134,340 miles, this Crosstour is well into its usable life, but Honda's reputation for high-mileage durability means buyers who keep up with maintenance often get another 80,000 to 100,000+ miles from these engines. If the service history checks out, this vehicle represents solid value in the Sacramento used car market.

2014 Honda Crosstour Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Honda's proven 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine with i-VTEC technology, paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission sending power to the front wheels. The i-VTEC system is one of Honda's signature engineering achievements — it continuously optimizes valve timing for the best balance of power and fuel efficiency across the RPM range. In real-world driving, this engine produces around 192 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, which feels confident during Sacramento freeway merges on I-5, Highway 50, or Business 80. The 5-speed automatic is smooth and predictable, and the front-wheel-drive setup keeps things simple and cost-effective for maintenance. Fuel economy typically lands around 21 city / 29 highway, which is respectable for a vehicle of this size and utility.

Honda Crosstour EX-L Features and Interior

The EX-L trim is where the Crosstour genuinely earns its premium tag. Expect leather-trimmed seating surfaces, heated front seats, a power moonroof, and a rearview camera — features that were far from standard in 2014 and still feel relevant today. The infotainment system includes Bluetooth connectivity, a multi-function steering wheel, and Honda's dual-zone automatic climate control to keep both driver and passenger comfortable during Sacramento's famously hot summers and cool winter mornings. The rear hatch on the Crosstour opens to a surprisingly deep cargo area, and the sloping roofline doesn't sacrifice as much headroom as you'd expect. Fold the rear seats down and you've got a genuinely useful hauling space for weekend trips to the Sierra Nevada foothills or runs to IKEA.

Honda Crosstour Reliability and Ownership

The Crosstour's reputation among long-term Honda owners is quietly strong. Built on the ninth-generation Accord platform, it inherits that car's well-documented mechanical reliability. The 2.4-liter K24 engine is one of the most robust four-cylinders Honda ever produced — timing chain rather than belt, excellent parts availability, and decades of mechanic familiarity make it a relatively low-drama engine to own. Common ownership items at this mileage include ensuring the transmission fluid has been serviced, checking struts and control arm bushings, and confirming the VTC actuator (a known minor issue on these engines at high miles) is operating cleanly. A pre-purchase inspection from an independent Honda-experienced mechanic is always a smart move. Owners who get past 100,000 miles on a Crosstour without major drivetrain issues typically report very few expensive surprises afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2014 Honda Crosstour EX-L a good buy?

Yes — especially at this price point. The EX-L trim includes leather, heated seats, moonroof, and a rearview camera. Honda's 2.4-liter engine is famously durable, and the Crosstour's Accord-based platform means parts are affordable and mechanics know the car well. For buyers seeking a practical, premium-feeling SUV under $13,000 in Sacramento, this is a strong option.
 

How many miles is too many on a 2014 Honda Crosstour?

Honda's K24 engine regularly reaches 200,000-250,000 miles with proper maintenance. At 134,340 miles, this Crosstour has plenty of life remaining if it's been serviced regularly. Request available service records and consider a pre-purchase inspection to confirm condition before buying.
 

What does the Honda Crosstour EX-L trim include?

The EX-L trim adds leather seating, heated front seats, a power moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth audio, a rearview camera, and a multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel — a significant step up from base and EX trims.
 

Is front-wheel drive okay on a 2014 Honda Crosstour?

For most Sacramento-area driving — including commutes, highway travel, and occasional mountain trips — front-wheel drive is perfectly capable. The Crosstour also came in an AWD variant, but the FWD model is lighter, more fuel-efficient, and mechanically simpler. If you regularly drive into the Sierra Nevada in winter, carry chains or consider all-season tires.
 

What should I check when buying a high-mileage Honda Crosstour?

Focus on transmission fluid condition, VTC actuator function (listen for a brief rattle on cold starts), front struts, control arm bushings, and the condition of the timing chain system. A Honda-experienced independent mechanic can do a pre-purchase inspection for $100-$150 and give you solid peace of mind.
