2018 Honda Pioneer 1000 and 700 SXS Announced
Honda Pioneer 1000 SXS Receives Major Updates for 2018

Torrance, CA (6/29/2017) - American Honda today confirmed the return of two popular side-by-sides and four ATV models to the 2018 lineup. Headlining the announcement is the Honda Pioneer 1000, which received major updates in 2017. The flagship 2018 Honda Pioneer 1000 Limited Edition remains the most technologically advanced side-by-side on the market, touting the category's only I-4WD brake traction-control system and automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).

Meanwhile, the adaptable Honda Pioneer 700 remains a great value, with the Deluxe version offering a fully automatic transmission with steering-column-mounted paddle shifters that enable the option of manual shifting.

The remainder of Honda's four-wheel powersports lineup will be announced in August.
