Consider Your Budget
The first step is analyzing your finances. Determine how much you can reasonably and responsibly spend on a UTV. Remember to include related costs, such as any riding gear you still need to buy or any add-on accessories you want to get.
The exact price will depend on the model, but a basic new UTV will cost around $10,000 and a more advanced new UTV will cost around $20,000.
Once you have a price range, you can eliminate models from your search that are outside that range. This quickly narrows your search to a more manageable number of choices.
Consider the Terrain
If you will be cruising over compact dirt, most any UTV should do. If you want to tackle more challenging terrain, get a model that's made with those challenges in mind.
For example, maybe you want to explore rocky terrain. You don't want the underside of the UTV to be damaged by rocks, so get a model with high enough ground clearance.
Consider the Usage
Your intended use will influence the features that you should prioritize.
For recreational riding, focus on speed and agility. For hunting, consider a camouflaged exterior. For landscaping, look for plentiful storage space to fit tools and materials. Make sure to get a side-by-side that's ready to tackle whatever you throw its way!
Consider the Passenger Number
UTVs tend to accommodate between two and six passengers. Think about the right number of seats for your lifestyle.
Models with fewer seats are smaller in size. This helps keep the cost down since fewer materials go into the side-by-side's creation. This also helps the UTV be more agile and navigate tighter spaces, such as fence gates or width-restricted trails.
Models with more seats are much larger. They cost more money, but they can offer more versatility or efficiency. Bring more friends or family members along for an adventure. Bring along others to help with a given work project and get the task done faster.
