When adventure calls and you’ve got a big group ready to answer, Kawasaki’s latest innovation delivers. Meet the all-new Teryx®5 H2, the only five-passenger side x side in its class, engineered for families and friends who want to experience off-road thrills together — without sacrificing performance.

Built for Dune and Desert Domination

At the heart of the Teryx®5 H2 is a 250-HP¹ 999cc in-line 4-cylinder supercharged engine — an industry-leading powerplant that sets a new standard for recreational performance. Paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Teryx®5 H2 delivers smooth, linear acceleration that makes it just as fun to cruise down fire roads as it is to climb technical dunes.

The chassis has been designed with a highly rigid frame and long-travel suspension, delivering a stable, confidence-inspiring ride even when you’re pushing the limits. Kawasaki’s on-the-fly selectable 2WD/4WD and front differential lock give you the flexibility to adapt to changing terrain, while the adjustable power modes let you dial in exactly the ride you want — from casual trail exploration to full-throttle dune carving.

Designed for the Whole Crew

What truly sets the Teryx®5 H2 apart is its ability to seat five passengers comfortably — a first in its class. Whether you’re hauling the kids, bringing an extra friend, or heading out with a full crew, this roomy, automotive-style cabin ensures everyone rides in comfort and security.

Inside, you’ll find a tilt-adjustable D-shaped steering wheel, 7-inch full-color TFT instrumentation with smartphone connectivity via Kawasaki’s Rideology app, and well-placed controls that make operation feel second nature. It’s an experience that feels more like driving a performance SUV — but with the capability to tackle the wild.

Confidence and Control

The Teryx®5 H2 doesn’t just bring power and space — it also brings control. 270mm large-diameter hydraulic disc brakes provide stopping power you can count on, while the integrated ROPS (Roll-Over Protection Structure) and fortified A-arm and trailing-arm suspension keep you planted and secure.

Add in LED lighting, aggressive styling, a low-profile silhouette, and a distinctive dual-exit exhaust, and you’ve got a side x side that turns heads even when standing still.
