We already suspected it a while ago. The last madness of Kawasaki It doesn’t have 2 wheels, but it does have a lot of DNA from its most extreme models. The new Teryx H2 represents an important leap within the segment of side-by-side sports, with a proposal that mixes authentic superbike figures with the functionality of an all-terrain recreational vehicle. That is to say, a real dream.
Available in 4 and 5-seater versions, this model is designed to be enjoyed in a group without giving up unusual features. Of course, its marketing is, for now, only restricted to the American continent (especially the US), where this type of vehicle has enormous acceptance.
What’s so special about the 2026 Kawasaki Teryx?
The first thing that catches your attention is its engine. But, be careful, although it shares a name with the well-known H2 2 wheels, we are not dealing with the same engine. Kawasaki has developed a specific mechanics, also supercharged, but with a different configuration. Of course, its internal dimensions, more oriented towards torque than power at high speed, result in 250 hp and about 200 Nm. Yes, a savagery.
The mechanics, unlike the brand’s sports cars, deliver its maximum power at 9,000 rpm and torque at 8,800 rpm, with a lower compression ratio, located at 7.8:1. A logical approach if we take into account the type of vehicle and its clearly off-road focus. In the technical section, another key element is its transmission system.
He Teryx H2 It relies on a CVT automatic transmission that sends power constantly to the rear axle, while the front-wheel drive can be engaged when necessary. This selectable all-wheel drive system also includes a lockable front differential to maximize traction on difficult terrain.
Beyond performance, Kawasaki has put the focus on comfort and equipment. The most complete versions, under the name Deluxe eSincorporate semi-active suspension signed by Fox with the brand’s own electronic management, a rare element in this vehicle segment.
All this translates into an impressive package also in figures: the curb weight exceeds 1,000 kg and can reach 1,150 kg depending on the version, with a fuel tank of more than 50 liters that anticipates long days off the asphalt.
As for prices, in the United States it starts at $37,199, about 34,200 euros change, while the most equipped versions exceed $43,000, approaching the 39,500 euros. By the way, the Teryx 5 H2 It is only available with the top-of-the-range finish, and is positioned as the spearhead of the family.
