• Infotainment: a 9-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and wireless phone charging.
• Fuel efficiency: Most Ridgeline models return an EPA-rated 21 mpg combined (18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway), although TrailSport models are slightly less efficient.

Which Honda Ridgeline trim should I buy?

The 2025 Honda Ridgeline offers these trims:

• Sport: the entry point, with standard AWD, a V6, a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Honda Sensing; best if you want the lowest-priced way into the lineup.
• RTL: adds a more upscale feel and sits as the best-value trim for many shoppers thanks to its balance of equipment and price.
• TrailSport: the off-road-focused choice, with all-terrain tires, unique suspension tuning, and a front skid plate.
• Black Edition: the top trim, with the most premium presentation and an eight-speaker audio system.

What Honda Ridgeline do most buyers choose?

The Honda Ridgeline years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, trim, and price. They also sit close enough to the newest models to keep the Ridgeline’s core comfort-and-practicality appeal while often costing less than brand-new examples.

What is the Honda Ridgeline's resale value?

Most Ridgeline model years are showing year-over-year price declines, which is good news if you're shopping used.

The 2020, 2014, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
