How much does the 2021 Honda Ridgeline cost?

Prices have softened 6.61% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 82 listings available, which suggests a modest amount of inventory for you to compare.

Is the 2021 Honda Ridgeline a good car?

Yes — the 2021 Honda Ridgeline earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its comfort, ride quality, smooth driving experience, and spacious interior. The innovative truck bed and cargo space also come up often, which fits the Ridgeline’s use-case as a practical pickup for everyday driving rather than a hard-edged work truck.

It also stands out for buyers who want a truck that feels more conventional in appearance while still delivering useful packaging and a refined on-road character. With 34.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s a healthy share of attractive inventory to consider.

Is the 2021 Honda Ridgeline reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with repeated praise for comfort, smoothness, and the kind of everyday usability you can count on. The expert drive notes also support that impression by describing the Ridgeline as powerful, smooth, and refined, with a drivetrain and chassis setup that feels well sorted for regular use.

Honda also includes a maintenance perk in the ownership experience, which can help reduce early service friction. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that some examples may lack the safety features you might expect in a newer truck.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Ridgeline comes in Sport, EX-L, Touring, and Black Edition trim levels. The Sport is the most basic version, and it is the only one with cloth seats, while higher trims add more comfort and convenience equipment.
• 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 built for serious rock-crawling, and its towing capacity trails the class leaders.
• 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: You get an 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, and a seven-speaker sound system. 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. It still gives you the V6, standard all-wheel drive, Honda Sensing, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and the practical cabin and bed layout that define the truck.
• EX-L: This is the trim to target if you want the best balance of equipment and price. It adds a more upscale feel over Sport while staying close to the Ridgeline’s practical mission, making it the best-value pick for many used buyers.
• Touring: Choose this if you want more convenience and technology, including the added infotainment and comfort upgrades that make longer drives easier.
• Black Edition: This is the top-end choice for shoppers who want the most distinctive appearance and the fullest equipment set.

Honda Sensing is standard across the range, but the absence of blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic warning in Canada is worth keeping in mind.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you should have some room to shop carefully.

• Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 82 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.61% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $36,604 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 $37,761 CAD sits slightly below last year's $40,433 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the market has become a bit more favourable for buyers, which can put pressure on future resale if you plan to sell soon. For you as a seller, it means pricing competitively will matter more than it did a year ago.

At the same time, the Ridgeline’s strong owner satisfaction and practical appeal should help it stay relevant with shoppers who value comfort and utility. 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 six-star rating from NHTSA and a Marginal result in the IIHS small overlap front: passenger side crash test.

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

Honda Sensing is standard, and it 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.

There is a notable caveat: the IIHS lowered the Ridgeline’s score in its small overlap front passenger-side test after the 2021 front-end redesign. That makes careful inspection of safety equipment especially important if you are comparing used examples.

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:

• 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.61% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 update gives it a more traditional truck look while preserving its practical, comfortable character.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $39,849 CAD, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $37,761 CAD average.
• It carries over essentially unchanged, so you are mainly paying more for the newer model year.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2021 is the smarter buy because it combines a lower average price with strong owner satisfaction. If you are shopping strictly by budget, the 2021 should be your first stop; if you want a newer model year and do not mind paying more, the 2022 is the secondary path.

How does the 2021 Honda Ridgeline compare to the 2021 Toyota Tacoma?
