TrailSport models now offer the new Ash Green Metallic exterior color that first debuted on the refreshed 2026 CR-V. Meanwhile, the range-topping Black Edition now offers a contrasting black roof.

Like the single-tone Black Edition, the only interior option available with the two-tone trucks is a black and red leather combo.

Three-zone automatic climate control also comes standard. The RTL trim starts at $44,890 and adds power-adjustable heated front seats and a moonroof. TrailSport check in at $47,290 models include model-specific exterior styling, all-terrain tires, an off-road-tuned suspension, and all-weather floor mats. Meanwhile, the Black Edition adds trim-specific leather seats, black 18-inch alloy wheels, and red interior ambient lighting. That’ll cost you $48,690. The contrasting black roof bumps the price up to a cool $49,645.
Every Ridgeline also gets an in-bed trunk and a dual-action tailgate. The HPD 18-inch Black Alloy Wheel Package is available on the TrailSport trim. Power comes exclusively from a 3.5-liter V6 with 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, a ZF-sourced nine-speed automatic remains the only transmission available.
