The following are the key considerations when purchasing a UTV (all-terrain vehicle), combined with comprehensive recommendations on performance, regulations and usage scenarios:
1. Core hardware parameters
Power system
Preferably choose a CVT continuously variable transmission engine with a displacement of 400cc-1000cc to ensure sufficient torque (such as the Polaris Razor series).
Four-wheel drive/six-wheel drive transmission systems are more suitable for complex terrains, and some models support two-wheel drive/four-wheel drive switching.
Safety and control
Must be equipped with a roll cage, three-point seat belts and disc brake system to reduce the risk of rollover.
The center-of-gravity design (such as the Polaris Razor) can improve stability during leaps and sharp turns.
Passability indicators
The ground clearance is recommended to be ≥0.26 meters, the wading depth is ≥0.4 meters, and the climbing grade needs to match the usage scenario (such as more than 30° for mountains).
The tires should be all-terrain tires or mud tires, and the tire pressure needs to be dynamically adjusted according to the road conditions. 2. Adaptation of regulations and usage scenarios
Legality verification
Confirm whether UTV is allowed on the road in the local area. Some areas are limited to closed sites or specific license plates.
Functional requirements matching
Agriculture/transportation: Choose practical models with cargo boxes (load ≥ 200kg), such as "farmers' cars".
Off-road entertainment: Focus on high suspension, large displacement (such as 1000cc) and professional shock absorption systems.
3. Brand and after-sales
Prefer mature brands such as Polaris and Bombardier to ensure parts supply and maintenance services.
Electric UTVs need to pay attention to battery life (recommended ≥ 80km) and fast charging support.
4. Test drive and detail inspection
During the test drive, focus on testing steering sensitivity, braking distance and suspension shock absorption.
Check the process details such as body welding points and circuit waterproofness.
(Note: The core difference between UTV and ATV lies in steering wheel control and cargo capacity, which needs to be clearly selected according to needs.)
