2022 4×4 & UTILITY ATV BUYER’S GUIDE

By now, you’ve no doubt heard about how hot the UTV powersports market has been over the past year and a half. So, too, has the ATV segment. It’s so hot, in fact, that some models have been fairly hard to find. Another sign of just how popular ATVs have been the past 15 or so months is the increase (quite significantly in some cases) in the MSRP of most all quads from all manufacturers.

Technology and other advances in design, durability and manufacturing continue to increase in the ATV segment, especially among the bigger players in the powersports business. Even the “base” models in this segment have features we wouldn’t have dreamed of a half-dozen years ago.

This year’s “Buyer’s Guide” might seem smaller than last year’s—and it is—but that’s for a reason. We decided to break the “Buyer’s Guide” up into two parts this year, just so we can give more coverage to ATVs. In this issue you’ll find all the utility, 2-up, 2×4 and 4×4 models. In the next issue, we’ll highlight the sport and youth models.

There are still nearly 100 vehicles covered in this issue. All the players in the ATV segment will be familiar to you.

Even though we’ve split up this year’s “2022 ATV Buyer’s Guide,” you will still find options for most any type of rider. While we only had room to share a few highlights of each model, we did include the contact information for each manufacturer so you can dive deeper into the research.
