Fresh off the press from TFL, there may be changes to the 2026 Ridgeline.
SUMMARY OF TFL ARTICLE
Honda's Lincoln, Alabama plant is reportedly preparing to make changes to the Ridgeline assembly line. Potential updates include the use of a hybrid 3.0-liter V6 engine with three electric motors, which could enhance power, efficiency, and towing capacity. The next Ridgeline may be built on a modern version of the PF7 platform, similar to the new Passport and Pilot, with design updates expected to reflect the 2026 Honda Pilot. After a more than 20% drop in Ridgeline sales in 2024, changes are seen as necessary, especially as 2026 marks the model's 20th production year. Honda is also revamping multiple models due to increasing competition from brands like Ford and Hyundai, with more news anticipated soon.
