The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released fuel-economy figures for the brand-new Honda Ridgeline, and the numbers are seems strong.

As per the feds, the front-wheel-drive Ridgeline will attain 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 22 mpg integrated. Move up to four-wheel drive, and you only lose 1 mpg in each of the classifications, for a score of 18 city, 25 highway and 21 combined.

Compared with other trucks in its segment, it’s best. It surpasses both the Chevrolet Colorado (17/24 in V-6 4×4 guise) and the Toyota Tacoma (18/23, with the same engine and drivetrain design). You can’t truly compare the four-cylinder models, since Honda does not have an analogue. Suffice it to state that the four-bangers are a bit more effective.

The Ridgeline is likewise remarkably close to the Honda Pilot. The two cars share the exact same chassis, but the Ridgeline is hot on the heels of the 20-mpg-city, 27-mpg-highway crossover. It’ll be interesting to see how all these automobiles compare in real life screening, which, as we have actually learned in current months, and will be different to EPA’s lab.
