Kawasaki is a well-established name in the motor industry, with its roots reaching all the way back to 1878 when they started off as a shipyard.

Since then, Kawasaki's become synonymous with high-quality motor vehicles, such as utility task vehicles, or UTVs. One such superior UTV is the Kawasaki Teryx, which first came out in 2007.

Fast forward 12 years, and it's still as popular for off-roading as ever.

Are you curious about this UTV? Then keep reading! We'll tell you all about why you need a Kawasaki Teryx in your life.

It Has a Powerful Engine

When you go off-roading, the terrain's sure to be tough to handle. So you don't want to be driving a side by side that can't get you from point A to B and beyond. After all, there's nothing like ripping through a landscape and then getting stuck because you're driving a vehicle with a subpar engine.

Kawasaki's coming out with the 2020 Teryx KRX 1000, which is the highest performance model they've ever released. This means it has an engine that's unparalleled.

This UTV has a 999cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke v-twin-engine, which means it delivers on both power and torque. No matter how slow or fast you're going, and regardless of the type of terrain you're driving on, you won't have any troubles when you're riding in this UTV.

The Design Looks Gorgeous

Who says off-roading has to be ugly and rugged? Certainly not Kawasaki!

True to Japanese design, the Kawasaki Teryx boasts a gorgeous body that both men and women will enjoy driving.

In the front, this UTV has a large grille and LED headlights, which are sure to light the way clearly, even when the sun sets.

On the sides, you'll enjoy integrated half doors; this design allows you to see more of your environment, but not so much that the elements will harm you or get into your UTV.

For the driver, you'll enjoy tilt steering. This can be extremely beneficial when you're on long rides and want to adjust the wheel. Or if you want to switch drivers, they'll be able to position the wheel better for their driving style.

Often, vehicle designs forget about rear lighting, which can lead to some troubles when you're out in the middle of nowhere. But with the Kawasaki Teryx, you won't have to worry about that at all. On the back, you'll find both taillights and position lamps.

Also, it comes in 2 color schemes: lime green and metallic onyx, or metallic moondust white and metallic onyx.

The Dash

On the dash is a multi-functional LCD display. Here, you'll find 23 readouts and there are several brightness levels.

With how customizable the display is, you won't have to squint in the dark nor will you have to shut your eyes in pain because the screen's too bright.

It's Very Roomy

For you and your passengers, there are high-backed bucket seats that are very comfortable. Combine that with its larger cabin, and you'll be able to bring as much stuff as you want. There are also cup holders you can easily access while you're out off-roading and need to hydrate yourself.

Get Customizable Performance

As we've said above, the Kawasaki Teryx is built to handle any terrain you throw at it. This is because it has a dual-power mode for the engine map.

What this means for you is you'll have excellent speed control, even when you're driving slow. Plus, you'll have the best throttle management possible, as well as the option of swapping between 2WD and 4WD drive modes.

So when you hit a particularly challenging area, you know you can have great control over the Kawasaki Teryx to conquer anything.

The UTV Is Almost Indestructible

While UTVs should look and feel lightweight, this doesn't necessarily mean it'll crumble like paper in a collision or fall. This is especially true of the Kawasaki Teryx.

This side x side has an 8-point rollover protective structure, so if you ever run into any mishaps, you'll be safe and secure inside the vehicle.

It also has steel skid plates, as well as steel floor guards. While you're ripping up the trails, you won't have to worry about and rock or debris flying up and hitting you or your passengers.

It Has an Amazing Suspension

Anyone who drives a vehicle knows the suspension makes or breaks it, even if it's just a regular car on the road. Without a well-designed suspension, a vehicle drives terribly and all you'll get is a super uncomfortable and bumpy ride.

When designing an off-roading vehicle, the challenge is magnified, considering the terrain's unpredictable and also different wherever you go.

But Kawasaki's managed to pull off an impressive suspension on this side x side. It has a Double Wishbone and Fox Podium coil-over shocks with a piggyback reservoir. Plus, it has an adjustable preload and 24-way compression damping!

The vehicle also comes with a high clearance chassis; it has 9 inches of travel in the front and 21 inches in the back.

Add all of that together with its 31-inch MAXXIS Carnivore tires, and you'll feel extremely comfortable, no matter where you go. These tires are made to resist rolling and because their pattern is made for a strong grip, the Kawasaki Teryx will drive very smoothly.
