A patent for a 5 seat Pioneer was listed October 2nd 2014. While the 2014 Pioneer 700-4 is most capable of fitting 3 average guys up front it is not currently equipped for this. Could this be the reason why Honda is holding back the 2015 model? Looking over the images compared to the 2014 Pioneer 700-4, could a slight change in seat belt arrangement and a redesigned bench seat be all that is needed to seat 3 up front?

The following is from Atv.com
ATV.com said:
While we cannot state for certain that anything is imminent, somebody in the know let it slip that a Pioneer 1100 is on the horizon.

This would be huge news for Honda, which has shied away from large displacement off-road vehicles. Currently, the Honda Pioneer 700 boasts Honda’s largest Side-by-Side engine, the well regarded 675cc fuel injected Single. While this is a fine and capable powerplant, it is a good step back in power from the biggest engines from Polaris, Can-Am and Arctic Cat. If the name is any indication, the Pioneer 1100 would be bigger than anything any of those companies produce.

ATV.com has also learned that Honda is at least considering producing a five-seat version of the Pioneer, with the extra set coming in the front row. Honda applied for a patent in early October for a Side-by-Side vehicle with room for three in the front. With the rear seats in use, this would offer room for five riders. However, even with a full load in the bed and the rear seats folded down, the Pioneer could hold three people, which could come in very handy on the jobsite.

While it’s all just speculation at this point, we’d imagine the Pioneer 1100 would come to market in the five-seat setup. It’s also possible all Pioneer models will be made available with the new three-front seat configuration.

We haven’t seen anything regarding suspension changes or chassis size to accommodate the extra power of an 1100-class engine or the extra weight of another passenger, but we’d be surprised if the springs weren’t beefed up a bit and perhaps the overall width increased. However, we have no documents to verify that.

It should be noted that none of this could come to market. The five-seat patent may never get to production stage. And while we are confident in our source, the 1100 class engine is still unconfirmed.

Let us know what you think below!

I wonder how true this is, I heard rumors but nothing like this. It would be nice to make a 1100cc machine/ sxs utv and a sport model with 1100 cc . It would be awesome. If it turns out to be true, put my name on the list for one

You never know. They do a good job keeping things under a tight lid.
Watching all the races out west, mud races, and show-n-shine contest... Honda is really missing out. A 1000cc + unit would make it an attractive build for those guys. You know they would fly in like a swarm of bees.

Personally, I dont see Honda jumping from a 700cc to a 1100cc unit.
BUT... Someone pointed out on the FB page that the Honda VFR1200 DCT is a Six-speed with two automatic modes and manual mode. I'm sure someone could fit that into the Pioneer frame.

New Lead...
Today, I met with several buddies who work for a OEM parts manufacture company. Two of them claim to be working on a tilt steering parts for a new Honda SxS line. They claim the end product is labeled sxs1000M5. They did not have much more info then that as there workload is only a minor part of the mechanism production cycle. They said the order was due March 2015.
Hum....

Re: Rumor: 2015 Honda Pioneer 5 seat or a 1100cc SxS!

Also hondasxs and Admin. I noticed in comments above you specified 1000m5, im curious about that m. I know we call the pioneers 500p or 700p2 700p4 . What im getting at is, will they keep the pioneer name or make another sxs line with another name, maybe starting with M . Cant wait to hear more news on what honda has up there sleeve. Also have any of you heard any new on honda discontinuing the Rincon 680 after 2015?

The SXS700M2 and M4 are Hondas model designations for the present pioneers.

Ya SXS700 M2/M4 and SXS500M are there "official" model name. We call them P2, P4, P5 for short now. But if they make a 5 seat we'll have to change it up I guess. Hopefully sooner then later. Cant wait.

That right forgot they called the pioneers sxs700m and so on. So it could be a 1000p..... I just hope they dont put a single cylinder, if it is true, it being a 1000cc it would have to be a twin not a v-twin a inline twin due to there engine design. Time will tell just hope to here some small news or something soon.
