Honda Ridgeline gets rugged looks with 2021 freshening

LOS ANGELES — After four years on the market, Honda’s current Ridgeline is getting a fairly significant exterior freshening to give it more squared-off styling and chunkier proportions.

The changes come as the midsize pickup market has heated up with the debut last year of the resurrected Ford Ranger.

“The 2021 Ridgeline features all-new sheet metal from the front roof pillars forward. Design changes include a new hood sporting a pronounced power bulge, and new front fenders that emphasize the squared-off nose and more upright grille,” Honda said Wednesday.

“A new front bumper highlights the toughness of the new Ridgeline’s design and adds broad side vents that route air through the bumper and around the front tires and wheels, creating air curtains to improve aerodynamic performance,” the automaker said.
