Honda accelerates sweeping light truck makeover with new Ridgeline pickup set for global debut at the 2016 NAIAS
Honda will challenge conventional thinking in the midsize #pickup segment with the return of the #honda #ridgeline truck, set to make its world debut at the 2016 North American International Auto Show in #detroit on Monday, January 11 at 1:15 p.m. EST. Designed, developed and manufactured in America, the all-new #ridgeline is the fourth new or significantly refreshed light truck model introduced by #honda in the past 18 months and will hit roads nationwide in the first half of next year.
"We developed this new #honda #ridgeline to offer something new and fundamentally better suited to the way many buyers use their truck," said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the #honda Division. "Ridgeline will deliver everything you'd expect in a #honda from incredible packaging and fuel-efficiency to top safety technologies and innovative, segment-first features. We're honored to once again debut the #ridgeline in #detroit at the North American International Auto Show."
Honda began the complete remake of its light-truck lineup in the fall of 2014 with the freshened 2015 #honda CR-V, America's best selling SUV. Earlier this year, #honda launched the all-new HR-V crossover, gateway to the #honda truck lineup, and the third generation of its popular Pilot three-row SUV. In 2016, #honda will continue the strengthening of its light-truck family of vehicles with the new #ridgeline and a fully redesigned Odyssey minivan.
Calendar year 2015 sales of #honda light trucks are up 11.8 percent to 599,507 vehicles through the end of November and are on track to set a new all-time sales record for the brand, beating the previous best of 602,123 units in 2006.
Like the first generation #ridgeline, which also debuted at #naias in 2005, the all-new #ridgeline was designed and developed by #honda R&D Americas, Inc., in its Torrance, California design studio and Raymond, Ohio, research and development center. The #ridgeline and its engine will be producedi by #honda Manufacturing of Alabama, Inc., in Lincoln, Alabama.
