The Honda Ridgeline will have new features, an updated look, and a rugged Honda Performance Development (HPD) appearance package for the 2021 model year .

Quickly noticeable among the styling updates for the truck is the top half of its front end, which now has a squared-off design that comes with a redesigned crossbar, a unique-looking grille, and gloss or black chrome connecting the headlights, depending on the trim.

Conversely, the lower half gets a number of changes too, starting with the the 18-inch wheels wrapped in all-season tires and front bumper that has side vents to help move air around the front wheels.

The HPD package will be offered on all new trucks joining the lineup regardless of the trim level. The HPD suite includes a blacked-out grille, black fender flares, bronze wheels as well as HPD graphics accentuating the bed walls.
