What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Honda Ridgeline?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Sport trim is the only one with cloth seats, while higher trims add more comfort and convenience equipment. The Ridgeline’s cabin is functional and easy to clean, but the base setup is still fairly simple for the price.
• Powertrain: Every Ridgeline uses a 280-horsepower V6 with a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard torque-vectoring all-wheel drive. It is smooth and refined, but it is not a rock-crawling off-roader.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is standard and includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and lane-centring assistance. Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning is not offered in Canada.
• Infotainment: Every model gets an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, text-messaging capability, basic HondaLink connected services, wireless smartphone charging, and USB charging ports. Higher trims add SiriusXM satellite radio, HD Radio, navigation, voice recognition, traffic information, and a premium sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: No fuel-consumption figure is stated in the available data.

Which 2021 Honda Ridgeline trim should I buy?

The 2021 Honda Ridgeline is offered in 4 trim levels: Sport, EX-L, Touring, and Black Edition.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the value-focused choice if you want the Ridgeline’s core strengths without paying for extra luxury features. You still get the V6, standard AWD, the 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless charging, and Honda Sensing.
• EX-L: This is the trim to target if you want a better balance of comfort and equipment without jumping to the top end. It should suit you best if you want a more upscale daily driver.
• Touring: Choose this if you want the added convenience and tech upgrades, including navigation, traffic information, voice recognition, HD Radio, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a premium sound system.
• Black Edition: Pick this if you want the most upscale presentation and the most fully equipped version of the Ridgeline.

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim, so you do not need to move up the range for the core safety suite.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Honda Ridgeline?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to compare listings carefully and move quickly on the right truck.

• Deal availability: 17.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 76 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.52% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $36,570 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Honda Ridgeline's resale value?

The current average of $37,182 CAD sits slightly below last year's $41,092 CAD.

That softer pricing can work in your favour if you are buying now, but it also means future sellers may face a more competitive market if prices stay under pressure. For resale, the Ridgeline’s strong practicality and broad appeal as a comfortable daily driver should help support demand.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Honda Ridgeline safe?

The 2021 Honda Ridgeline earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS, and it received a four-star overall rating from NHTSA.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is standard on every Ridgeline and includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and lane-centring assistance. The truck also includes a multi-angle reversing camera and automatic high-beam headlights.

One caveat to keep in mind is that the redesigned front end lowered the truck’s IIHS score in the small overlap front passenger-side crash test. Owners also noted that some safety features they wanted, such as blind spot indicators and lane change warnings, are missing.

Should I buy a 2021 Honda Ridgeline or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 17.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.52% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 update gives the Ridgeline a more truck-like appearance.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $40,523 CAD, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $37,182 CAD average.
• It carries over essentially unchanged after the 2021 facelift.

The bottom line: If you want the better value proposition, the 2021 is the smarter buy because it combines a lower average price with strong owner satisfaction and a meaningful facelift. If you are willing to pay more for a newer model year with the same basic formula, the 2022 is the simpler alternative.
