The industry's top-selling entry side-by-side gets even better for 2017, as Honda's Pioneer 500 now boasts a transmission that can change between fully automatic and manual electric shift modes via a toggle switch. For simple driving, owners can just push the accelerator and go. For more control, the steering-column-mounted paddles can be used to shift manually, or to override automatic shift points on the fly. Also new for 2017 are dual-rate suspension springs, providing a plush ride while still being resistant to bottoming. As always, the compact Pioneer 500 has a narrow 50-inch width that lets customers transport it in a full-size pickup-truck bed and ride it on recreational trails that have width restrictions. From longtime off-road enthusiasts to new side-by-side drivers, the Pioneer 500 is an instant favorite.

Engine/Drivetrain

  • Gearbox has five speeds with reverse, and owners can change between fully automatic and manual electric shift via a toggle switch. The automatic mode can be overridden on the fly with steering-column-mounted paddle shifters.
  • Ratio of first gear (previously called low) has been changed to 3.615:1, improving shift feel and driveability.
  • Fuel-injected 475cc engine provides great performance and excellent fuel efficiency in a variety of conditions.
Chassis/Suspension

  • Suspension with new dual-rate coil springs for plush, progressive performance.
  • Chassis with compact dimensions: 102.5-inch overall length and 73.1-inch wheelbase.
  • Fifty-inch overall width allows transportation in a full-size pickup-truck bed and access to width-restricted trails.
  • Single-function door and side nets open together as one unit via a twist-action door-release knob.

  • Large, flat rear carrier offers a load capacity of 450 pounds and multiple hook points for tie-downs.
