2009 Honda Ridgeline

The 2009 Honda Ridgeline gets freshened stylling and a number of new features for the new model year. Front end styling matches the look of the new Pilot - other exterior revisions include new bumpers and headlight and taillight color combinations. Inside is a new steering wheel design with enhanced controls, buttons and displays for the air conditioning, audio, cruise control and headlights. New safety features include active front seat head restraints and daytime running lights. The Ridgeline's 3.5-liter V6 gets three more horsepower and an improved torque curve. The 5-speed automatic has been revised to make better use of the upgraded torque for better accelleration while maintaining the same fuel economy as the 2008 model.
