I have HD limited defender with all the bells and whistle and my Driver side keep sticking, it won't go up. I'm gonna have to take it back to the shop this summer to get it. Look at again.
@chuckwicksimmons5813 ive gone through around 6 switches. Its crazy. Dealer should give you a few. My dealer has given me all mine. They keep them at service counter. Thats how bad it is.
@pauldombrowski2330 Thanks for letting me know that. But the bad part is that my dealership. They online give you a year Warranty And I don't even have 200 miles on the machine.
I put truck tires on my utv. Excellent used for $300. I have the stock wheels and tires and I have a set of good used 30”off road wheels and tires i got for $120. Not a deal breaker for me. Then for performance a clutch kit and tune. You have to pay to play. No way around it.
Did we really need a new four cylinder engine to achieve 92 hp?? It looks nice, but the price is crazy. So many better options if your going to spend that much money.
Seems a little weak in the power department but if you have deep pockets and just want that luxury sxs I guess its fine I would stick with the KRX much better machine kinda feel a little disappointed with this one.
I have a 22 Pioneer 1000-3 and it has performed just like a Honda should. And with the DCT trans is plenty sporty for a utility sxs. And it has a front locker. Not even the top level Ridge has that. And the down hill engine braking is unmatched by any belt drive. And the Pioneer is really quiet.
For folks that ride the trails all the time this is a much better machine than @ Polaris. This is joke, it is a game changer. You can not even compare the two.
All the people saying impressive after this video have no real idea what riding is. Im confident a 2wd golf cart could make this course. Should of taken then onto real trails not a staged playground
I totally see why manufacturers are making these so fancy now. Just think about how much less material one of these take to produce compared to a car, yet it costs atleast 35k. Same price as a decent sedan, 1/3 of the materials. Smart buisness move.
@@mikeg3529 There's quite a bit of engineering input in my Honda Pioneer 1000 which cost about what a new roof on a house costs which has much less engineering input. Apples to oranges.
@@jessewoody5772 Nope. Far more engineering goes into cars end of story. These utvs aren't even subject to safety regs and don't require airbags, just one example.
@@mikeg3529 whats the argument here again? If you want a car , go buy one. If you don't want a UTV, then don't buy one. UTVs just like cars come in many flavors. From cheap base models to fully decked out. Same goes for practically everything for sale and you either want it or you don't. And everyone must live within their means.......
you've commented like 5+ times in 15 minutes. you're a massive hater for no reason. please, if you don't have anything nice to say. don't say anything at all. obviously don't know what you are even talking about. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Anyone who has purchased a general xp in the last year that has wanted a full hvac enclosure. Polaris couldn't deliver on. Can-AM is too big/ugly. Kawasaki has hit a market that is going to excel. Polaris is having an issue with the Xpeditions being WAY too loud. This 4Cyl engine & cab noise is going to blow the doors off that. Xpeds are selling for $33k-$45k. This is priced at $33.5k with being quiet? No problem. This is a great SXS. I am glad Kawasaki is innovating & pushing boundaries.
It depends where you live at and I own one but I live in the great state of Alaska and I spent close to almost 40K. And that's not including doing up grades like a rear backup camera stero system because they Nickel and dine you for everything. it's like a 1000 bucks to do anytype of upgrades.
I still like my defender over this, seats, interior layout and finish is nicer than kawi. I love kawi but for $34k 2 door machine is ridiculous. My max was $32k in 2022.
@chadjones2168 No, i hear you? I love my defender too I just wish that they would have came with bigger tires 27 are kind of small for those machines. I think 30 would be perfect.
Seems very quite inside, you can actually carry on a conversation with your passenger, big selling point for me
For sure! Super quiet!
Sounded loud as hell to me
Listen to anyone testing out the new polaris expedition. This seems much quitter inside.
@@corylee2261lmao compared to what?
@@Ronniepickering69 your mom
Nice unit.
Thanks for letting us hear the engine.
It's astonishing how many people play loud music as soon as they push the throttle😂
You’re welcome!
Motor sounds good, the cab shouldve been bigger for 6ft and up club. If they couldve put the krx suspension on it man it would be impressive
I like the way the doors open
Agreed!
Great video. Thank you for driving it to see what it has, and not on a Sunday drive.
You’re welcome!
Thank you!
What a revolutionary machine, Kawasaki always 2 steps ahead of the competition
Lol when has kawi ever been ahead? This seems like a solid machine but not 2 steps ahead.
Hey, it comes with a rear bumper.. lol
Ranger 1500 way better than that thing
its more like a wolverine with a bed and less capable then the rmax
Looks like a great machine .
For sure! It's going to be a great seller!
very quiet machine, will make it very attractive! Nice machine all around! Price is too high though, especially for us Canadians.
Waiting for the turbo little engine on a 4 seat version and 225hp. Maverick x3 does it with a triple 900cc similar engine to the sea doo spark.
From the video not a bad machine it’s in the running for a new sxs this summer.
We are going to sell a TON of them! Let us know if we can help! What state are you in?
Impressive.
We agree!!!
Looks like a sweet rig. Can’t wait to see one in the wild !
They are way sweet! Even better in person!
Let the good times roll!
Great video. Hopefully those window switches are better than the defenders.

Hopefully at the 30k price point it comes with better than 4ply tires.

I was really hoping it would be new style of buggy sort of spin off of the general a utv an ohv with enclosed cab and a/c an heat comfort
When are they going to post prices ?
Don't hate it but 25k is max on thing thing, Screw these prices.
I like it soon as I win the lottery I want to get one
Hit us up when you do! 435-427-3338
MSRP?
Link to the next video?
What city and state is the offroad demo coarse in?
Firebird Raceway in AZ. Looked at the GPS coordinates in the video
I was really hoping that it didn't have a cvt. In that case i think i still want a pioneer.
The RIDGE is MUCH smoother to drive. I'd drive both before purchasing one. You'll end up with a RIDGE. 😊
I have a 22 Pioneer 1000-3 and it has performed just like a Honda should. And with the DCT trans is plenty sporty for a utility sxs. And it has a front locker. Not even the top level Ridge has that. And the down hill engine braking is unmatched by any belt drive. And the Pioneer is really quiet.
Grandma's are driving!
Weird it doesnt have park
How is the noise inside?
Very quiet!
how about without a helmet?
35k golf kate with enclosure.
Does anyone know if there will be a 4 seater?
It's coming....
I gotta see how poor this suspension is compared to the Rmax. Cause those little polaris general shocks they got look worthless.
Better than the Expedition
For sure!
Does it have turf mode? Wont own another sxs without it.
Yes it does. 😁
What is Turf Mode... sounds interesting. can you elaborate?
Turf mode is a switch that unlocks your rear end so you can turn without tearing up your lawn.
Notice any easter eggs?
How about a tractor for the same price?
So they liked the Polaris General SO much they decided to completely copy it. What a joke.
For folks that ride the trails all the time this is a much better machine than @ Polaris. This is joke, it is a game changer. You can not even compare the two.
Better price than xpedition at least
For sure! 3 year warranty too!
It is strange why they did not offer 4 seater
Theyll sell a ton of those
We totally agree with you!
Stopped watching when the windows didn’t go all the way down. Maybe when I buy that 500 acre ranch in my next lifetime
They do go all the way down. 😊
Very nice, just not big enough
Hey bubba this is definitely not your below average sxs , it is way below average.
I’ll stick to the Wolverine
These things have gotten way out of hand! Inside looks like an actual new truck interior, except with more plastic. Prices reflect that.
All the hype about an H2 motor and not even close. Good marketing for sure.
What a disappointment its not mine, if it holds up like the teryx that will be a great machine
Take it out of low
All the people saying impressive after this video have no real idea what riding is. Im confident a 2wd golf cart could make this course. Should of taken then onto real trails not a staged playground
They should have put a sleep mode toggle button in this for it's deput. Kawa-snoring on this one cause its a joke clowns.

Apples to oranges. No truck or suv will go where a sxs can go.
@jessewoody5772 Of course, but they still cost the same as a car without nearly the same amount of materials or engineering.

92 hp price of 33k lol
Nahh I will pass on this machine
Why's that? We love feedback!
It’s awesome but the prices are getting ridiculous
Looks really narrow.
64"
More farm equipment 😂, okay
New name is kawasaki "SLUDGE"

It's literally a small truck and you wear a helmet 😂
🤦♂️ It's literally required by Kawi in order to demo....
Looks like they copied straight off the Polaris General I would think Kawasaki could of done better
What a joke.
Overpriced
What a huge disappointment 😢
Why?
In what way?
Boo hoo
Troll comment
Says your mom
Way over priced for what they come with. The defender limited is cheaper and atleast comes with locking hubs

Yeah, but you’re not getting that Kawasaki reliability that Japanese reliability

@@chuckwicksimmons5813 I have ran 30’s on mine since new. Changes the machine a lot. Higher clearance and I think it rides better.
