The 2021 Honda Ridgeline is distinguished by its substantially redesigned nose. It has a taller hood and more squared-off grille that makes it look more truck-like than before. But it has more changes than just styling, such as some new and revised features, plus a more expensive price tag.

One of the most notable changes for the redesigned pickup is that front-wheel drive is gone. All models now have all-wheel drive as standard. All models also come with the carry-over 3.5-liter V6 making 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque and the nine-speed automatic transmission. The Ridgeline also gets a wider track by about three-quarters of an inch, plus a revised infotainment interface with larger icons and a physical volume knob.

The trim line-up for the Ridgeline is the same as before, starting with Sport followed by RTL, RTL-E and Black Edition. The base price for the Sport is now $37,665, an increase of $2,590 over last year's Sport model. Most of that increase is because of the standard all-wheel drive. Compared with last year's all-wheel-drive-equipped Sport, the increase is just $350. Also worth noting is the new HPD Package that adds fender flares, bronze-colored wheels, badges and vinyl graphics costs $2,800. You can find pricing for the full Ridgeline line-up below.

  • Sport: $37,665

  • RTL: $40,645

  • RTL-E: $43,595

  • Black Edition: $45,095

    While Australia emerged with few injuries from the epic test series against India, the players' egos suffered heavily in defeat and may take time to recover from their bruising.

    Tennis coach Daniel Vallverdu says players who have been locked down in their hotel rooms for 14 days ahead of the Australian Open should get preferential treatment from organisers such as prime practice times and matches scheduled in the cooler hours of the day.

    A coronavirus antibody test that China has made mandatory for arriving travellers has provoked concerns over its effectiveness after one of a team of international health experts was briefly denied entry last week following a positive result. Although the British expert from the World Health Organization (WHO) subsequently tested negative, it was not immediately clear if the earlier result was a false positive, or the result of previous infection or a COVID-19 vaccination. Here are details of China's testing rules, potential problems with the policy, its implications for vaccinated individuals and experts' views.

  • Boats emerge from Sahara sand to transport migrants to Spain

    Beneath a star-packed sky in the Sahara, smugglers and handymen unearth a boat buried in the sand, a made-to-order vessel for carrying migrants from the North African coast to Spain’s Canary Islands. With seasoned skill, the men hoist the blue-bottomed wooden boat atop a four-wheel drive vehicle that will take it from this inland hideaway to the Western Sahara shore. From there, the boat is meant to take 20 to 30 migrants into the Atlantic Ocean and across what the European Union’s border agency calls “the most dangerous migratory route in the world."

  • India’s Covid-19 vaccine rollout needs to address hesitancy to truly take off

    India has kicked off the world’s largest Covid-19 vaccination programme, but the shadow of rushed approvals persists. Hesitancy over the safety and efficacy of Covaxin, India’s homegrown coronavirus vaccine developed by biotechnology firm Bharat Biotech and the Indian Council of Medical Research, has led to fewer people turning up for their shots. India began its vaccination drive for frontline and healthcare workers on Jan. 16, and has inoculated 631,417 people in four days.

For two-minute audio updates, try The Briefing - on podcasts, smart speakers and WhatsApp. New president will target tax cuts and 'Muslim ban' It is all change at the White House. Joe Biden will sweep away some of Donald Trump's most controversial policies hours after taking office as he is sworn in as America's 46th president today. Shortly after assuming power at noon (5pm GMT), Mr Biden will sign about a dozen executive orders and other presidential actions. He is expected to remove Mr Trump's so-called "Muslim ban" limiting immigration from mainly Muslim-majority countries, sign America back up to the Paris Climate Agreement and consider reversing some tax cuts. Much of Mr Biden's focus will be on tackling the pandemic and its economic effects. Read a full prediction of what we can expect from his first 100 days. Mr Biden appeared overcome by emotion as he began the journey to Washington. Early today, Mr Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of 143 people - including his ex-strategist Steve Bannon, who is facing fraud charges. Earlier, Mr Trump said in a farewell statement that America should "pray" for the new administration, hinting that he still planned to pursue political ambitions. Mr Trump, who has still not admitted election defeat, will be absent from today's inauguration - which will be very different to previous ceremonies due to security threats. Follow live. As Mary Beard writes, history tells us succession can be brutal. Public against rush to ease lockdown, say ministers The public does not back a rapid easing of lockdown, ministers believe, as they plot a cautious timetable for lifting Covid restrictions. We understand early March has been earmarked to move the first areas out of lockdown, but only into the toughest tiers - with little further easing expected by Easter. A Whitehall source said the prevailing mood was to take decisions steadily to avoid reimposing restrictions later.

  • Exclusive: COVID-19 shots to cost $3 to $10 under African Union vaccine plan

    African countries will pay between $3 and $10 per vaccine dose to access 270 million COVID-19 shots secured this month by the African Union (AU), according to a draft briefing on the plan prepared by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and provided to Reuters.

  • Hong Kong fourth wave: more than 70 new coronavirus cases expected, tougher testing could keep numbers high

    Hong Kong is expecting more than 70 new Covid-19 cases on Wednesday, according to a medical source, extending an upward trend in infections that may continue under a more stringent testing approach launched after the outbreak in Yau Tsim Mong district.But authorities have also been pressed to further explain the rationale behind placing the neighbourhood of Sham Shui Po under similar tougher measures, with all residents of buildings with one or more cases there now subject to mandatory testing.On Tuesday, the city recorded 56 confirmed cases, with another 60 preliminary-positive results pending confirmation on Wednesday. The latter group included about 30 possible cases uncovered through voluntary or compulsory screening in Yau Tsim Mong.Get the latest insights and analysis from our Global Impact newsletter on the big stories originating in China.The city’s overall tally of Covid-19 cases now stands at 9,720, with 166 related deaths.The latest fatality was an 88-year-old woman with a chronic illness who died in Princess Margaret Hospital on Tuesday evening.Under the government’s latest plan, in addition to the mandatory testing required at 70 buildings in Yau Tsim Mong district, tighter screening requirements have been expanded into an area of Sham Shui Po bordered by Yen Chow Street, Tai Po Road, Maple Street and Lai Chi Kok Road. Testing orders have already been imposed for residents of at least six buildings with confirmed cases.But district councillor Kalvin Ho Kai-ming questioned the government’s decision to step up testing in Sham Shui Po, noting neighbourhoods in Kowloon City and Yuen Long had recorded similarly high numbers of cases without having to undergo tighter screening processes.“If officials are saying that areas with many old tenement buildings should be included for more stringent screening, plenty of other areas also have the same problem. Why did the government target this neighbourhood in particular? They should further explain,” Ho told a radio programme on Wednesday.He added: “Residents in [Sham Shui Po] were confused. They started asking whether the area carries a very high potential risk, if visitors should go into the neighbourhood, and if [residents] needed to move elsewhere immediately.”But a government source said there were signs of an outbreak in Sham Shui Po area judging from sewage samples that were tested, adding numerous buildings in the area had subdivided flats and some were mismanaged.Professor David Hui Shu-cheong, a Chinese University respiratory medicine expert and government adviser on the pandemic, said it was necessary to expand screening in the neighbourhood to step up infection control. South Asian residents, concern groups outraged over official’s Covid-19 remarks“Expanding screening in the Sham Shui Po area does not mean the government is not planning similar requirements for other districts,” Hui told the same radio programme.Hui added that because the local situation remained severe, with a high proportion of untraceable cases, any relaxation of social-distancing measures was unlikely.University of Hong Kong microbiologist Ho Pak-leung, meanwhile, was among those who rejected the notion that the recent surge in Covid-19 cases was connected solely to the number of people being tested.“The situation is not improving yet,” Ho said. “If virus transmission is not active in the community, a spike in cases may not happen, even if there is a higher number of people being tested.”Additional reporting by Elizabeth CheungMore from South China Morning Post: * Hong Kong fourth wave: South Asian residents, concern groups outraged over official’s coronavirus remarks * Coronavirus pandemic got Hong Kong to embrace e-commerce, and ‘trend looks likely to stay’This article Hong Kong fourth wave: more than 70 new coronavirus cases expected, tougher testing could keep numbers high first appeared on South China Morning PostFor the latest news from the South China Morning Post download our mobile app. Copyright 2021.
