Honda recently announced upgrades to the popular Pioneer 700 side-by-side utility vehicle for the 2026 model year, including increased storage capacity, new accessory options, and enhanced debris protection.

Pioneer 700 Details
The Pioneer 700 was Honda’s first utility side-by-side when it debuted in 2014. It has been available in 2- and 4-seat configurations from day one. Honda introduced Deluxe versions with aluminum wheels and electric power steering in 2017. Comfort features such as tilt steering and front-door-mounted beverage holders were added in 2023. The 2026 model year refresh further increases storage capacity, improves vehicle protection, and adds convenience features.
"The Pioneer 700 has always delivered on Honda's promise of reliability, ease of use, and overall performance," says Colin Miller, manager of public relations at American Honda. "Now, with key upgrades for 2026, our original Pioneer is even more practical and functional than ever, thanks to additional options for carrying personal items and cargo, as well as convenience-focused updates. From recreational trail riding to hard work, the Pioneer 700 delivers as a capable multipurpose side-by-side."
