2025 Honda® Pioneer 520

The Pioneer 520 is the all-in-one solution of side-by-sides: compact yet mighty with a 50-inch width that lets it conquer trails where others can't while seating two comfortably. The 518cc engine delivers power and reliability, while its size allows it to fit snugly in most full-sized pickups. For 2025, it sports new colors—Hero Red, Slate Gray, TrueTimber® Atera Camo—and it features a strut-assist tilt/dump bed, boasts a 1000-pound towing capacity, and can switch between two or four-wheel drive, allowing you to tailor it to your adventures.

Features may include:

• POWERFUL 518cc ENGINE

With a bigger and more powerful engine than our Pioneer 500s, the Pioneer 520 also features electronic fuel injection for effortless cold-weather and high-altitude operation. The engine is specially tuned for low-rpm torque, too. Coupled with an efficient five-speed automatic transmission, you’ll have plenty of pulling power.

• AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH AT/MT MODE

You can let the Honda Pioneer 520’s automatic transmission shift for you, or you can still shift yourself with its paddle shifters. You can even shift from auto to manual (AT to MT) on the fly!

• TILT/DUMP BED

The Pioneer 520 features a super-convenient tilt/dump bed. Measuring 38.7 inches wide, 25.9 inches long, and 9.8 inches high, it can carry up to 450 pounds. An assist strut makes dumping easy, the tailgate opens flat, and the inside of the bed is set up for plywood dividers or to hold milk crates or plastic buckets. It also accommodates our line of Honda Pro-Connect™ system accessories.

• COMPACT 50-INCH WIDTH AND TRAXLOK 2WD/4WD

The Pioneer 520’s 50-inch overall width is a huge bonus, whether for width-restricted trails or convenient transportation and storage (it fits into the bed of most full-sized pickups). Plus, our rock-solid TraxLok® system lets you choose either 2WD or 4WD, giving you the freedom to choose between lighter steering (in 2WD) and maximizing available traction (in 4WD) when you need it most.

• SIDE-BY-SIDE SEATING

With a comfortable bench-style seat, individual backrests, and seatbelts for both rider and passenger, the Pioneer 520 offers side-by-side comfort and excellent maneuverability.

• DRIVER/PASSENGER PROTECTION

The Pioneer 520 is loaded with features to help provide a feeling of security for the driver and passenger. The Occupant Protection Structure uses large-diameter tubing. It also includes integrated handholds, recessed top tubes, and a more spacious structure to enhance protection. Hard doors and side nets help provide a secure feel and keep mud and debris out of the cabin, while automotive-style three-point seat belts with an Emergency Locking Retractor mechanism help keep everyone secure.
