For the past 5 years, the Ridgeline Honda (Japanese-made pickup truck) has been successfully conquering the world market. This is perhaps the first Asian SUV that combines all unconventional design solutions. A Honda (pickup) can be surprised by many things: it is an independent spring suspension, a rear door that can open in 2 directions, and a Unibody chassis. Despite such a strange set, the car made a successful debut at the show and still does not lose demand among buyers. In this article, we will try to find out what is the secret to the success of the second generation Ridgeline Honda (pickup).
Photo and design review
If you look at the novelty, you can immediately see the inharmonious lines and the strange proportionality of the body. In front, there are headlights of an incomprehensible shape, an angular bumper, and on the side there are two lines of doors concave inward. However,car owners claim that all these shortcomings are immediately forgotten when you get behind the wheel of a pickup truck.
Salon
So let's move inside. The driver's seat is decorated quite well, the instrument panel is simple and clear. In order to find out the readings from various sensors, you don’t even need to open the instruction manual. The presence of seat heating is also pleasing - in a few seconds the chair heats up instantly. Drivers of northern latitudes will appreciate it. But that's not all. The navigation system deserves special praise, which is distinguished by its simple operation. By the way, in order to set a route, it is not necessary to stop the car on the side of the road - everything can be done on the go. Even the Honda CRV cannot boast of such a feature.
Pleasantly surprised by the presence of free space in the cabin. If you need to carry some bulky cargo, and the trunk is already occupied, you can take advantage of the interior space by folding the second row of seats under a flat area. Yes, listing the convenience and functionality of the interior, you really forget about the "reference" appearance of the car.

How much does a Honda cost(pickup)?
The price for a new range of SUVs ranges from 1 million 730 thousand to 1 million 820 thousand rubles (depending on the configuration and level of equipment). Pretty good price for such a car, given its handling and economy.
Conclusion

In terms of driving performance, it has no competitors at all, while its level of comfort can only be compared with premium cars. For travelers, the Ridgeline model is ideal.
