It doesn't just raise RPMs, it raises your BPMs. The 3.5-litre Direct Injected i-VTEC® with VCM® mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission is designed to make all your trips feel like power trips. Just push your right foot down and teh Ridgeline does the rest.
Get more out of every litre with the standard ECON mode button. When you press it, the engine and other non-essential functions are adjusted to help reduce fuel consumption, so you can spend more time on the road.
It's easy to drive efficiently when the Eco Assist system comes standard. The blue and green bars on either side of the speedometer let you keep your eye on how efficiently you're driving, so all you have to do is stay on green if you want to get the most out of your tank.
To reduce unnecessary emissions, the Ridgeline is equipped with Idle Stop, which automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle is stopped for more than 2 seconds. When you release the brake, the engine automatically restarts. Note that this feature can be easily disabled if desired.
