10 Best Sport Side-by-Sides (UTVs) to Look Out for in 2023

Things To Consider When Choosing a 4 Seater UTV

When it comes to choosing a 4-seater UTV, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind. First, you'll want to think about what kind of terrain you'll be using it on. If you plan on only using it on smooth surfaces like dirt roads or well-maintained trails, then you won't need a 4-seater  with a lot of ground clearance or a powerful engine. However, if you plan on taking your 4-seater UTV off-road, then you'll want to make sure it has enough ground clearance and a powerful engine to get you through tough terrain.

Another thing to consider when choosing 4-seater UTV  is the size of the vehicle. You'll want to make sure it's big enough to comfortably seat 4 adults, but not so big that it's difficult to maneuver. You'll also want to make sure it's not too small, or you'll be cramped and uncomfortable on longer rides.

Once you've considered these things, it's time to start looking at some of the best 4-seater Sport UTVs on the market. 

Our Top 10 Picks

#10. KAWASAKI TERYX KRX 1000

The Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000 model earns outstanding grades for comfort and user-friendliness. The seat fabrics keep passengers held securely and doors are easily maneuvered without flimsiness. Its solid construction bears up against the most beastly and difficult trails. 

Kawasaki’s first attempt at creating a sport side-by-side is a solid one. Pick up this bad boy for the trails and ease of use.

#9. CAN-AM MAVERICK X3 MAX RS TURBO R

The Fox Racing shocks on this machine make for easy adaptation to multiple terrains and driving styles. With a lightweight, super-durable chassis, this vessel can take an off-road beating and give as good as it gets. 

One of many from the X3 line in our top 10 list, this side-by-side is a solid pick for the trail rider needing more speed and agility.

#8. YAMAHA WOLVERINE (X2, X4, and RMAX)

The Wolverine X2 has a reputation for nimbleness and durability, as well as optimal visibility. This sports vehicle also sports a one-ton towing capacity and a 600-pound cargo bed. Longing for the Yamaha Rhino, the Wolverine is a great modernization of the simple platform. 

This machine is great for beginners or enthusiasts who are looking for great power and reliability. From the OEM that created the SXS craze, this is faster, more agile, and way safer. 

#7. HONDA TALON 1000R, 1000X AND 1000X-4

The dual-clutch transmission and instant throttle response make this machine handle the nastiest overland obstacles. Meanwhile, the launch control makes for rapid acceleration. In fact, side-by-side, it moves like a powerful dirt bike. 

This is a way different machine than the others on the list, all having CVT transmissions and belts, the drivability feels more like a car than a snowmobile.

As good as the R gets, the Talon 1000X maintains a thinner frame, helping the vehicle traverse narrower trails. Plus it’s a Honda… Everyone loves Honda since back in the day.
