Spies have once again caught the upcoming all-new Honda Accord CUV undergoing testing. At first glance the car may look like the European Honda Accord Tourer (pictured above), but upon closer inspection the prototype seems to sit a little higher than the Accord Tourer.

The Honda Accord CUV will be based on the Accord chassis and is expected to enter production in the 4th quarter of 2009 at Honda’s Marysville or East Liberty factory. The production version of the car will fit between the CR-V and the Pilot and will take on Toyota’s Venza crossover.

Powertrain options are yet to be revealed but sources say that all-wheel-drive may be offered as an option. As for names, insiders say that “Latitude” is one of the names being considered for the new Honda crossover.

    Good move by Honda…it's a market that they really need to tap into… besides the Pilot is just plain ugly

    Since the American version of that Accord is the TSX, with the Latitude look like the TSX as an Acura or an almost identical Honda?

  • Ivan Gutierrez

    Yeah your right the pilot is ugly, but the this latitude is even worse in my opinion.

    This will appeal to people that want something more economical than their typical sedan, with a little more head room and trunk space but without the minivan soccer mom image.
