Features

Powerful 999cc twin-cylinder engine
Powerful 999cc twin-cylinder engine

The 999 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin 4-stroke engine has revised valve timing and throttle-body settings, resulting in more high and midrange power, without sacrificing smooth delivery. Acceleration is improved and towing capacity has increased to 1,134kg. The Unicam® design produces significant horsepower and torque, and reduces overall engine size and weight, allowing for a roomier cabin design, lower centre of gravity and improved handling. Longitudinal engine mounting ensures most of the engine's output is transmitted to the wheels.

Independent front and rear suspensions
Independent front and rear suspensions

Dual A-arm suspension gives you 268mm of travel in the front and 254mm of travel in the rear. Pair that with 345mm (3-seater) or 335mm (5-seater) ground clearance, and you maximize available traction and superior comfort manoeuvring over terrain other side-by-sides would shy away from.

Selectable drive modes
Selectable drive modes

The 4WD system has an option for every situation. If you don't want to tear up sensitive surfaces, you can select "Turf" mode. Want to access as much traction as possible, put it in "4WD". Need maximum power at all four wheels, lock the front and rear differentials. And the best part is, you can do it all with a shift of a single lever.

6-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT)
6-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT)

Honda's exclusive automatic Dual Clutch Transmission provides the durability and efficiency of a conventional manual transmission, but can change gears automatically, upshifting and downshifting without driver input. Two automatic shifting modes allow the driver to tune the driving behaviour of the Pioneer 1000: "Sport" mode is more dynamic, while "Standard" is more relaxed. You also have the option of selecting "Manual" mode and making gear changes via paddle shifters mounted on the steering column.

High and low subtransmissions
High and low subtransmissions

With a full 42% gear reduction between High and Low, you get the torque you need in all 6 gears. It comes in handy when driving over difficult terrain, scaling steep hills or towing heavy loads.

QuickFlip® seating
QuickFlip® seating

Want to bring an extra one or two passengers along for the ride? Two QuickFlip® seats pop up from the cargo bed on Pioneer 1000-5 model, giving you the extra seating, you need, when you need it. Switch between 3-person mode with full cargo and tilt bed functionality, to 4-person mode or 5-person mode with ease. When you need the cargo bed, the seats conveniently lay flat so you can pack cargo. Exclusive to Honda, it's a smarter system than fixed seat, multi-row models, giving you better use of space.

Hydraulic assist cargo bed

The standard cargo bed has a 454kg load capacity, with a hydraulic assist tilt lever that can be accessed from outside the vehicle, or right from the driver's seat.
