Comparing Ridgeline Trims and Configurations

The Ridgeline is built to be versatile, but selecting the right trim depends on how you plan to use it. Some shoppers prioritize advanced technology, while others focus on interior comfort and utility features.

When you compare trims, look at the interior technology and seating materials. Features like the proximity key for doors and push-button start are standard conveniences that make daily use more comfortable, especially in our warm-weather climate where you want to get on the road quickly.

• Consider the seating layout, which includes a 60-40 folding split-bench rear seat, allowing you to choose between more cargo or more passenger room.
