The Honda Ridgeline gets a substantial redesign and update for 2021 in order to make it look tougher, though it continues to stand out with a more car-like driving experience and many practical innovations like a 207-litre storage compartment under the floor of the cargo bed, or a tailgate that can be opened vertically and horizontally. The engine doesn’t change, namely a 280-horsepower, 3.5-litre V6 backed by a nine-speed automatic transmission.
