FactThe only Honda ever sold with a V8: this Crossroad was a rebadged Land Rover Discovery with Rover's 3.9-litre unit.
Honda marketed the Crossroad (model code LJ, stylized Cro$$road) in the Japanese market from October 13, 1993 to 1998 as a rebadged Land Rover Discovery Series I, manufactured at Rover's Solihull plant and initially marketed in 3- and 5-door variants. To date it is the only production vehicle sold by Honda to ever have a V8 engine: the 3.9-litre Rover unit produces 180 PS at 4,750 rpm. It was introduced to compete with popular off-roaders from Toyota, Isuzu, Nissan and Mitsubishi, and at the end of July 1994 it was updated with added safety equipment including twin front airbags.
