Honda Associates to Test Their Skills Driving Honda Light Trucks in All-Women Rebelle Rally Off-Road Navigation Event

August 14, 2018

TORRANCE, California, Aug. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Embracing Honda’s “Challenging Spirit,” two teams of associates from Honda R&D Americas, Inc. (HRA) will compete in the 2018 Rebelle Rally women’s off-road navigation event. The rally, which starts on October 11 in Lake Tahoe, Calif., will cover approximately 1,500 grueling off-road miles of desert and mountain terrain in California and Nevada over eight days, testing the skills and endurance of the driver/navigator teams and the off-road prowess and durability of their Honda vehicles.

While working on a Honda light truck project, Torrance, CA-based HRA product planner Ariel Jen learned of the Rebelle Rally and saw the event as an opportunity. “I love to challenge myself and learn new things and the Rebelle Rally seemed like a perfect opportunity to do all those things,” said Jen. “It’s a way to learn more about the world of off-roading and trucks and to unite women at Honda to accomplish something amazing.”

Understanding that preparing for and participating in the event would provide project members valuable knowledge and experience they could bring to their various R&D roles and the demands of the off-road driving event would demonstrate the durability and reliability of Honda light trucks in extreme conditions, Honda management approved the project.

The Honda associate rally teams feature two driver/navigator combinations, the “Desert Dreamers” team #208 with Jen partnered with Torrance-based exterior stylist Lili Melikian in a 2019 Pilot, and the Ohio-based “Ridgeline Rebels” team #209 consisting of engine test engineer Maria Guitar teamed with crash test engineer Michelle Klein driving a 2018 Ridgeline. The teams are currently preparing for the event, supported by more than two dozen Honda volunteers in both California and Ohio, with Honda supporting the associates’ initiative through funding, vehicles, shop space, practice/training opportunities and technical expertise.

Demonstrating Honda Capability

The 2019 Honda Pilot and 2018 Honda Ridgeline Honda’s Rebelle Rally teams will drive remain mostly stock, with both lightly modified for the rally event with more aggressive off-road tires, skid plates, auxiliary lights, increased ground clearance on the Pilot and other changes required for carrying off-road equipment such as jacks and an onboard compressor.

The popular Honda Pilot midsize, three-row SUV was refreshed for 2019 with updated styling, standard Honda Sensing^® suite of safety and driver assistive technologies, and major upgrades to the available connected-car technology. The innovative 2018 Ridgeline pickup truck won North American Truck of the Year for this generation’s first year in 2017 and is the only unibody midsize pickup available. Both vehicles feature Honda’s highly advanced Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4™) torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system that includes Intelligent Traction Management System (ITM) modes of Normal, Snow, Mud and Sand that allows the driver to select the best all-wheel drive parameters for the environment.

The Ultimate Off-Road Challenge for Adventurous Women

When it debuted in 2016, the Rebelle Rally was the first women’s off-road navigation rally raid in the U.S. The event was created by off-road racing veteran Emily Miller to make the adventure and challenges of off-road driving more accessible to women. It is designed to blend demanding driving environments with the requirement for precise navigation to reach remote checkpoints that together create the ultimate proving ground for participants and the vehicles they drive. “I wanted to create an exciting and challenging experience for women that wasn’t branded pink,” said Miller. “I feel the Rebelle Rally does just that and serves as a badge of honor participants can be proud of.”

TORRANCE, California, Aug. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — The 2019 Acura RDX has earned the highest possible award and safety ratings of any vehicle in its class from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The 2019 RDX qualified for TOP SAFETY PICK+ thanks to a top rating of “GOOD” in all crashworthiness tests, standard AcuraWatch™ active safety technology that earns a superior rating, and available good-rated headlights. The all-new RDX went on-sale June 1, recording back-to-back monthly sales records in June and July to take the lead as America’s #1 retail-selling compact luxury SUV for 2018¹.

According to the IIHS, “The 2019 Acura RDX excelled in our six crashworthiness evaluations, including the roof strength test. Our testing apparatus applied over 21,000 lbs of force to the RDX’s roof before it crushed 5 inches. That’s more than 5 times the weight of the vehicle.”

“The 2019 Acura RDX offers the highest level of standard safety and driver-assistance features in its class, so earning class-leading safety ratings is a strong proof point of the technology and design innovation we’re bringing to the game,” said Jon Ikeda, Acura vice president & general manager.

Developed by the company’s U.S. R&D team, the 2019 RDX has the newest generation of Acura’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, new high-strength steel door stiffener rings, and for the first time, eight airbags, including new driver and front-passenger knee airbags.

Furthermore, RDX features the AcuraWatch suite of safety and driver-assisitive technologies as standard equipment, including Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and Road Departure Mitigation. RDX also features Acura JewelEye™ LED headlights to help achieve its best-in-class ratings.

To earn the 2018 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests and an acceptable or good rating in the passenger-side small overlap test. It also needs available front crash prevention that earns an advanced or superior rating and available good-rated headlights. The RDX’s base headlights are rated good. The curve-adaptive headlights equipped with the Advance trim are rated acceptable.

2019 Acura RDX

Debuting the next-generation of Acura design, performance and technology, and the model’s first-ever A-Spec variant, the all-new 2019 Acura RDX went on-sale June 1 at Acura dealerships nationwide with a class-leading array of premium features and technologies and a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP^ⁱ) starting at $37,300 (excluding $995 destination and handling).

The 2019 RDX is built on an all-new, Acura-exclusive body and chassis architecture and incorporates a host of new premium features and technologies, including Acura’s True Touchpad^® Interface (standard), an ultra-wide panoramic moonroof (standard), Acura ELS Studio 3D™ premium audio, and next-generation Acura sport seats with up to 16-way power adjustment.

The all-new RDX is powered by a direct-injected and turbocharged 2.0-liter, 16-valve powerplant with DOHC VTEC^® valvetrain mated to the segment’s only 10-speed automatic transmission (10AT). Peak output of 272 horsepower (SAE net) and 280 lb.-ft. of torque (SAE net) bests RDX’s key competitors and delivers 40 percent more low-end torque than the outgoing 3.5L V6 for powerful acceleration.

The 2019 Acura RDX is the first RDX to be designed and developed in America. Like its predecessor, the new RDX is manufactured in East Liberty, Ohio, using domestic and globally sourced parts, with the powertrain produced at the company’s plants in Ohio and Georgia.
