Honda Ridgeline
Bold Exterior Design: The Honda Ridgeline boasts a distinct exterior design featuring sheet metal from the front roof pillars forward. This design includes a hood with a pronounced power bulge, a more upright grille, and LED headlights for improved illumination. The aggressive look of the Ridgeline is further enhanced by its broader stance, which is due to the 18-inch wheels with reduced backspacing, effectively increasing the track width.
High Performance Capabilities: The Ridgeline is powered by a 3.5-liter direct-injected VTEC® V6 that produces 280 horsepower, working seamlessly with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The Ridgeline comes standard with the i-VTM4® torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system, enhancing control and traction by automatically adjusting the torque distribution based on driving conditions.
Interior Enhancements and Convenience: The Ridgeline’s interior features several enhancements, including contrast stitching on the seats, new cloth seat inserts, and refined accents on the dash, steering wheel, and center console. The spacious cabin offers excellent passenger comfort and rear-seat legroom, with a flexible seating arrangement that maximizes cargo capabilities. An available wireless phone charging feature adds to the convenience.
Versatile Cargo-Hauling Design: The Ridgeline’s unique platform design emphasizes its versatility. It includes a unit-body construction and fully independent rear suspension, allowing for impressive payload and towing capacities. The wide standard bed can flat-carry 4-foot wide items, and includes a washable, lockable In-Bed Trunk® for additional secure storage space. The innovative Dual-Action Tailgate, which opens downward or to the side, provides easy access to cargo.
