The forthcoming 2022 Honda Ridgeline will continue with the updates. The arriving pickup truck should represent a reliable choice in the segment. Ridgeline offers great performances and a very stylish appearance. It is an off-road capable pickup that also offers a high-performance Type R version. A hybrid powertrain is still just a rumor.
On the other hand, Honda won’t deliver significant changes in terms of design. The interior will also remain, but it will arrive with more high-tech features. It is another mid-cycle upgrade for the Ridgeline model. Engine lineup won’t change either, and the sales will start in the second half of 2021.
2022 Ridgeline Won’t Introduce Redesign
In terms of design, a new 2022 Honda Ridgeline will introduce a couple of minor upgrades. Cosmetically, a new pickup truck will look more upright, but most of the changes are barely visible. The Japanese manufacturer will work on improving the bodywork. However, the dimensions will remain, and Ridgeline continues its journey as a mid-size model.
You can spot a lot of styling cues that are taken from the Honda Pilot SUV. Two models are sharing the same architecture too. The front fascia will get small improvements, such as updated headlights and fog lights. The grille is reshaped, and it wears more chrome accents. Rear part and side profile will remain intact, but new exterior paints are becoming available.
Interior Gets More Tech
The upcoming 2022 Honda Ridgeline will provide a couple of interesting updates. The cabin design won’t change at all, but Honda will try to deliver more luxury. All of the trim levels will be improved, and the comfort will be at a higher level. Ridgeline will offer new high-tech features, and seating capacity is the same. There is room for five passengers.
Honda will offer a new backlighting system and a new infotainment system. Safety is better thanks to the newest driver-assistance aids. However, new driver-assistance systems are optional in the base trim level. The entry-level provides a solid list of standard amenities, so we’d like to recommend the next trim in the lineup. The range-topping Black Edition model is all about luxury.
Hybrid is not Official, V6 Engine Still Available
The all-new 2022 Honda Ridgeline continues to offer the same 3.6-liter V6 gasoline powertrain. This unit is capable of producing up to 280 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. Ridgeline is a reliable model that delivers great performances. The new engine is rumored, but nothing is official yet. A six-speed automatic transmission is available, along with the standard front-wheel-drive system.
As we said, Ridgeline pickup is similar to the Pilot SUV, and most of the mechanics, including the platform, are the same. Potent V6 has been rated at 25 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg in the city. Lastly, Ridgeline Type-R is a high-performance variant that will also reach the dealerships.
2022 Honda Ridgeline Price and Release Date
The price of the arriving 2022 Honda Ridgeline will now cost $33,000. It is a small jump in price over the current model. We are waiting for the Japanese manufacturer to release closer details about its new model. That includes speculated hybrid powertrain. Honda will launch a new 2022 Ridgeline mid-size pickup in the second half of 2021.
