We study Kaluza-Klein cosmology in cuscuton gravity and find an exact solution describing an accelerating four-dimensional universe with a stable extra dimension. A cuscuton which is a nondynamical scalar field is responsible for the accelerating expansion, and a vector field makes the extra dimensional space stable. Remarkably, the accelerating universe in our model is not exactly de Sitter.
