The Pioneer 700 represents the midpoint of Honda's rec/utility side-by-side lineup, balancing capable power and torque for the toughest jobs with quick handling and maneuverability in tight quarters. Built for both work and play, its range of versatility is expanded by the three available trim levels (each of which is offered in both two- and four-seat configurations) and a large collection of accessories. New for the 2025 model year, the Forest trim level comes in TrueTimber® Atera camo, as part of a new partnership between Honda and the famous camouflage brand. From long days on the ranch to memorable outings on the trail, the Pioneer 700 platform delivers well-rounded performance and capability.

HISTORY

Originally introduced for the 2014 model year, the Pioneer 700 was the first in Honda's now-expansive Pioneer family of capable rec/utility side-by-sides. From day one, it was offered in two- and four-seat configurations, and for 2017 Deluxe versions of both were introduced, with features like aluminum wheels and electric power steering. For 2023, Honda added a new "Forest" trim level and made important comfort- and convenience-oriented updates across the platform, nearly doubling storage volume, adding tilt steering, redesigning the front-door-mounted beverage holders to hold tumbler-sized cups, and more.

TRIM LEVELS

To satisfy the needs of every customer, the Pioneer 700 platform comprises three different trim levels—from the standard to the top-of-the-line Forest—each of which is offered in two-seat and four-seat versions.

Pioneer 700 Forest: To enhance the driving experience on the trail, the Forest is outfitted with an extended-coverage front bumper, a 4,500-pound Warn Winch, dual bed lights, in-bed 12V outlet and an additional 3.9L of under-dash storage. Plus, the Forest trim level includes TrueTimber Atera camo, a pattern that's exclusive to Honda in the powersports industry.
Pioneer 700 Deluxe: Improving overall versatility, the Deluxe version features black aluminum wheels, electric power steering, in-bed 12V outlet and dual bed lights.
Pioneer 700: Featuring the numerous platform-wide updates, the standard version is the most value-oriented option in the line.

ENGINE / DRIVETRAIN

The heart of the Pioneer 700 is its proven 675cc fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, overhead-valve, single-cylinder four-stroke engine, which is mounted longitudinally for maximum drivetrain efficiency.

Automotive-style automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter, three forward gears and Reverse.
Forest and Deluxe versions feature a transmission that can change between manual electric-shift mode and fully automatic mode via a toggle switch; the automatic mode can also be overridden on the fly, using steering-column-mounted paddle shifters.

CHASSIS / SUSPENSION

Occupying a middle ground in Honda's rec-utility side-by-side lineup, the Pioneer 700 is capable of carrying loads and passengers, but also of navigating in tight spaces, all while offering a comfortable ride.
