Distinctive headlights, taillights and sporty, sculpted panels create a design that has set the bar for SUVs and is illustrated by the 2018 Honda CR-V's 10 Best Cars Award from Car and Driver. However, the award isn't just about the design; it has a lot to do with the nuts and bolts of performance, handling, cutting-edge technology and safety. more Motor Trend.com: "The 2018 Honda CR-V received the highest overall safety rating from the NHTSA of five stars, and the crossover is considered an IIHS 2017 Top Safety Pick+. The highest award of Top Safety Pick+ was issued because the CR-V scored the highest rating of Good in all five crash test evaluations, the highest rating of Superior for front crash prevention, and scored the second highest rating of Acceptable for the headlights evaluation. The Superior rating for front crash prevention was issued because the CR-V properly warned the driver of a possible collision and avoided frontal collisions in 12- and 25-mph tests thanks to the optional Collision Mitigation Braking System found in the Honda Sensing package that is standard on the EX trim and above." It's almost as much fun to shop for a new Honda CR-V as it is to drive one because of the choices available to you. For example, there are four available trim levels for the 2018 Honda CR-V: LX, EX, EX-L and Touring. Should you opt for the base LX, you'll get a decent roster of equipment, including a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (184 horsepower, 180 pound-feet of torque), an electronic parking brake, 17-inch alloy wheels, LED running lights, automatic climate control, cruise control, a height-adjustable driver seat, a 5-inch color LCD dashboard display, and a four-speaker audio system with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. Each successive trim level ups the ante until you end up at the top-of-the-line Touring which boasts LED headlights, dual chrome exhaust tips, roof rails, automatic wipers, hands-free functionality for the power liftgate, ambient interior lighting, a navigation system and a subwoofer for the audio system.

The 2018 Honda Ridgeline has evolved the concept of the pickup truck, creating a modern smart truck aimed squarely at the actual needs of most pickup owners like you. The evolution entails a more conventional look than earlier Ridgeline models but still maintains the original, innovative Ridgeline tradition. The new Ridgeline presents a handsome, sensible, civilized pickup truck that is easy to drive and safe for both you and your passengers. How safe is the 2018 Honda Ridgeline? The NHTSA gave the 2018 Ridgeline a five-star overall rating (out of a possible five stars). Unlike conventional trucks, but like all cars and most modern SUVs, the 2018 Ridgeline is built as a unified construction rather than a body bolted to a separate frame. Also, the cab and bed are one piece, rather than two separate entities that are bolted together. So, the new Honda Ridgeline isn't a conventional workhorse. There are no frontier-taming fantasies with the new Ridgeline because it aims right at your rationale. And rational it is. The composite bed will never rust and is scratch resistant. The built-in trunk is weather-tight, will hold more than just a tool box, and is lockable. The rear gate can either swing out like a door or open like any other truck. more In addition to all of this, an independent suspension is used front and rear. This gives the Ridgeline a comfortable and composed ride, which makes it feel more like driving a car rather than a rough and tumble truck. The Ridgeline also happens to be very quiet inside, which goes a long way in making the vehicle feel substantial and upscale. If your family is like my family then they are going to love this truck. 2018 Honda Ridgeline Reviews The Car Connection: "The 2018 Honda Ridgeline is the most comfortable truck you can drive today." Consumer Reports: "... it is the most civilized pickup truck we've ever tested." Kelley Blue Book: "Its interior is far more refined than other midsize trucks, it offers excellent payload capacity, and it drives like an SUV." Honda's 3.5-liter V6 is a potent and yet refined power plant and that is at the heart of the new 2018 Ridgeline. The EPA fuel efficiency rating is 26/19 mpg according to fueleconomy.gov, making the Ridgeline the most fuel-efficient truck that's not diesel-powered.
