5 Standout Features of the 2025 Honda Ridgeline
July 29 2025,
The 2025 Honda Ridgeline offers a refreshing take on the midsize pickup, blending utility with comfort and SUV-like drivability. Known for its versatility and efficiency, it’s a smart choice for Quebec drivers who need a vehicle equally at home on a job site or a weekend adventure. Here are five key features that set the Ridgeline apart in its class.
- Proven and Capable Powertrain
Under the hood, the 2025 Ridgeline features a 3.5-litre i-VTEC V6 engine with direct injection, delivering 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for smooth, responsive performance. With a towing capacity of 2,267 kg (5,000 lbs), it easily handles trailers, gear, or work equipment—making it ideal for both tradespeople and outdoor enthusiasts.
- Intelligent All-Wheel Drive for All Conditions
Equipped with i-VTM4™ all-wheel drive, the Ridgeline delivers optimal traction and stability in changing conditions. This system actively distributes torque between wheels for enhanced control on slippery or uneven surfaces. Plus, with selectable drive modes—Normal, Snow, Sand, and Mud—you can tailor the vehicle’s performance to suit Quebec’s varied road conditions, from backroads to seasonal trails.
- Utility-Focused and Thoughtfully Designed
Practicality is front and centre with the Ridgeline’s smart design. It features an In-Bed Trunk® that’s lockable and weather-resistant, and a dual-action tailgate that swings open or drops down for easier loading. An integrated power outlet (150W/400W depending on trim) adds even more functionality, perfect for tools or campsite accessories. Inside, 60/40 split-folding rear seats can be flipped up to create extra interior cargo space when needed.
- Comfortable, Well-Equipped Cabin
Comfort is a highlight in the Ridgeline’s cabin. The driver enjoys a 10-way power-adjustable seat with lumbar support, memory settings, and a heated steering wheel. Both front and rear outboard passengers benefit from heated seats—a must during harsh Canadian winters. The centre console provides handy storage and doubles as an armrest, while the intuitive layout makes for a stress-free driving experience, whether on the job or heading to the cottage.
- Advanced Safety with Standard Honda Sensing®
Every 2025 Ridgeline comes standard with the Honda Sensing® suite—a collection of advanced driver-assist technologies. This includes Forward Collision Warning with Collision Mitigation Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Road Departure Mitigation. These features help enhance safety, reduce driver fatigue, and provide added peace of mind—especially on longer drives or in unpredictable traffic conditions.
The 2025 Honda Ridgeline successfully bridges the gap between a capable pickup and a comfortable everyday vehicle. With its powerful V6 engine, advanced AWD system, clever storage solutions, refined cabin, and robust safety features, it’s a well-rounded option for drivers who need utility without compromise. For Quebec motorists seeking a midsize truck that’s as versatile as their lifestyle, the Ridgeline is a smart contender.
