2026 Honda Pioneer 520

Compact Size. Big Capability. Ready for Work, Hunting, and Trail Adventures.

The 2026 Honda Pioneer 520 proves that you don't need a full-size side-by-side to get serious work done. With a dependable 518cc fuel-injected engine, Honda's durable five-speed automatic transmission with AT/MT modes, and a compact 50-inch width, the Pioneer 520 is built to fit where larger UTVs can't—making it perfect for tight wooded trails, hunting land, farms, and property maintenance. Honda also updated the 2026 model with revised gearing for a higher top speed, standard under-seat storage, and improved heat management for a cooler cab.

Whether you're checking fence lines around Sanford, hauling feed across the farm, or heading to Uwharrie for a weekend ride, the Pioneer 520 is built to tackle the job.

Built for the Way North Carolina Uses a Side-by-Side

The Pioneer 520 is ideal for:

Farms and horse properties

Hunting camps

Food plot maintenance

Property management

Campgrounds

Trail riding

Exploring North Carolina's trail systems

Many of our customers love the Pioneer 520 because its 50-inch width allows it to fit on narrow trails and through gates that larger side-by-sides simply can't access.

Built for North Carolina Trails

If your favorite riding spots include Uwharrie, wooded hunting land, or tight trails through the Sandhills, the Pioneer 520 feels right at home.

Its narrow width lets you navigate trails that larger side-by-sides often can't access, while the independent suspension helps smooth out rough terrain. It's equally capable of carrying tools to the back of your property or spending a Saturday exploring miles of North Carolina trails.
