The first generation Honda Ridgeline saw the light in 2005. Pickups were manufactured at the Canadian Honda plant exclusively for North American buyers. Due to the congestion of the market with its own products, the dynamics of auto sales did not inspire optimism, and in 2013 the leadership of the South Korean concern decided to stop the production of pickups. Last Honda Ridgeline off the line next summer.
Such a step was associated solely with the miscalculations of the company's marketing specialists, since the technical characteristics of the first generation Honda Ridgeline were not inferior to their American counterparts:
- 3.5-liter petrol six-cylinder engine, which produced 247 horsepower;
- all wheel drive;
- automatic five-speed gearbox.
The second generation of pickups, the concept of which was presented at the beginning of 2016 to the visitors of the Detroit Auto Show, will be sold worldwide: the manufacturer took into account its previous mistakes and refused to focus on a strictly limited market.
As a platform for the 2018 Honda Ridgeline (photo below), another model of the concern was chosen — the Honda Pilot of the third generation. As promised by the manufacturer, the new pickup will be equipped with:
Buy pickup base will be available for only $ 30,000 (about 1.8 million rubles). The price of a car with an improved configuration can reach up to $ 50,000 (3 million rubles), but the manufacturer has not yet clearly defined the upper bar.
