For the first time Honda has developed a unique specification side-by-side destined only for the Australasian market.

The 2017 Pioneer 700; due to arrive this month has been carefully designed for the needs of our Aussie farmers.

The Pioneer 700-2 can be picked up for an MLP of $18,499 and the Pioneer 700-4 is available for an MLP of $19,999.

Senior Honda SXS/ATV engineers conducted extensive research; in conjunction with several farming communities in Australia, to further understand what was needed in the extreme and unique conditions down under. After several months of development and analysis of farmer feedback; the 2017 'Aussie' Pioneer 700 is now here.

With electric power steering and fully automatic transmission which now comes with a manual mode that can be activated via a dash-mounted toggle switch. The auto transmission is all-gear so no belts that slip, break or burn out.

Paddle shifters can be used to change gears while in manual mode or to override shift points on the fly while in automatic mode.

The industry's first QuickFlip™ seating design is also available in the Pioneer 700-4, which allows the two rear seats to fold into the bed so that owners can select between two-, three- or four-seat configurations.

Driver seatbelt interlock is a new safety feature to make sure drivers wear their seatbelt while operating the machine. Speed is also limited when the seatbelt is not engaged.

New passenger and driver torso bars also offer enhanced occupant safety.

A model truly developed for 'down under;' this Pioneer 700 will only be available to Australia and New Zealand.
