Test drive: 2021 Honda Ridgeline
The Honda Ridgeline has been redesigned for 2021 to make it look more like a traditional pickup, but Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu says it remains a unique option in the midsize class.
The Honda CR-V is toughening up.
Honda has released the first images of the all-new version of its best-selling model that's set be unveiled this summer.
The photos reveal a design that features a grille that's larger and more upright than the current CR-V's and similar to the one on the Honda Ridgeline pickup.
Honda described the model as "rugged" and confirmed that a hybrid version will continue to be available, but with a new powertrain that provides improved performance and capability.

Honda recently announced a new off-road focused TrailSport trim that it will offer across its lineup in the coming years, starting with the Passport SUV, but didn't specifically mention it in the CR-V release.

The CR-V was the second-best-selling vehicle that isn't a pickup in 2021, behind the Toyota Rav4, with 361,271 deliveries during the year.
