As spring slowly approaches, several auto manufacturers have hinted at overhauling tried and true models. Recently, Honda has teased their fans with a new look for the Ridgeline. The benefit for the buyer? Dealers are extra motivated to make room for new year models. That’s the case with your Clinton Area Honda dealer and the 2015 Ridgeline SE.

 

Under the Hood

The Ridgeline begins with a 3.5-liter V6 engine with overhead cams, multi-point fuel injection, and variable valve timing. That means that it offers 250 horsepower and 247 pounds of torque at the same time that it offers an EPA-estimated 21 miles per gallon on the highway.

 

What It Can Do

With a five-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, there’s not much the Ridgeline can’t handle. In addition to being able to take on a payload of nearly 1,500 pounds and a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, the Ridgeline seats a five-man crew in its roomy cab.

 

Safety Above All

In addition to four-wheel, anti-lock disc brakes that help control anything you’re hauling, the Ridgeline also comes with intelligent airbags that adapt to crash conditions to minimize injury. These are supported by side and curtain airbags to protect the entire cabin. Finally, a rear-view camera with parking sensors just makes your job that much easier.

 

Life’s Little Extras

Leather interior, sunroof, heated front seats, and a seven-speaker audio system with subwoofer are just the start. The Ridgeline SE also comes with on-board navigation with map and voice.
