The 2024 Honda Ridgeline debuts with subtle aesthetic updates, an additional trim, and a slightly increased price point across its range. The base model now kicks off at $41,125, reflecting a $950 uptick, inclusive of the $1,375 destination fee. These refreshed models are making their way to American dealerships starting today.

Honda introduces the Ridgeline in four different trims: Sport, RTL, TrailSport, and Black Edition. The novel TrailSport, taking the place of the RTL-E, enters the scene with a starting price of $46,355. Meanwhile, the flagship Black Edition commands a price of $47,725, showing a modest $120 hike compared to its 2023 counterpart.

The latest model showcases a fresh grille design and the truck’s name imprinted on the tailgate. Internally, Honda introduced an updated center console featuring expanded cupholders, wireless charging, and a more conventional armrest and storage space. Additionally, a 7.0-inch display now complements the analog speedometer in the instrument cluster, accompanied by a larger 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen embedded in the dashboard.

Despite receiving a few tweaks for the 2024 version, Honda opted to maintain the existing powertrain of the Ridgeline. The pickup retains its 3.5-liter V6 engine, delivering 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Power is transmitted through a nine-speed gearbox to the standard all-wheel-drive system, equipped with rear active torque vectoring.
