With a 695cc fuel-injected engine, Electric Power Steering, switchable four-wheel drive with a locking differential, and a towing capacity of 650kg, this is a machine that takes British conditions seriously. The UTV market has grown enormously in the United Kingdom over recent years, and for good reason. Side-by-side vehicles (SSVs) occupy a uniquely practical space: they offer a comfortable seating position and weather protection that a quad bike cannot match, yet they maintain an off-road agility and ground clearance that leaves most compact tractors standing. The question is always which machine offers the best combination of capability, reliability, and value. After spending considerable time with the Kymco UTV 700, we're confident it makes an exceptionally strong case. 695cc Engine Displacement 45HP Peak Power 650kg Towing Capacity 309mm Ground Clearance Engine & Performance: Serious Power, Refined Delivery At the heart of the UTV 700 sits a 695cc single-overhead-cam (SOHC), four-stroke, liquid-cooled engine, paired with a fuel injection system that ensures reliable cold starts and consistent throttle response whether you're idling through a muddy gateway or climbing a steep hillside pasture. Producing 45HP at 6,000rpm, this is not a machine that asks you to compromise on performance. The transmission is a continuously variable automatic (CVT) with High, Low, Neutral, Reverse and Park modes, a selection that will feel immediately familiar to anyone who has driven an ATV or modern UTV. Low ratio provides the mechanical advantage you need for hauling heavy loads or crawling over uneven ground, whilst High gives you the pace to cover open fields and tracks in genuine comfort. There are no gearchanges to worry about; you simply select the appropriate range and the CVT manages everything else with smooth, progressive power delivery. The 695cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine delivers 45HP with broad, usable torque throughout the rev range. The 38-litre fuel tank is a genuine standout in this class. Larger tanks mean fewer interruptions during a long working day, and for anyone covering substantial acreage, or tackling an extended off-road trail, having that reserve capacity is a genuine practical advantage. Running costs are also kept in check by the efficiency of modern fuel injection, which optimises the air-fuel mixture across varying loads and altitudes. Off-Road Capability: Built for the British Countryside British terrain demands versatility above all else. Rocky moorland, sodden clay fields, steep grazing hillsides, and churned-up forest tracks, a UTV destined for UK use must cope with all of them, often in the same afternoon. The Kymco UTV 700 is engineered with precisely this in mind. Suspension: Independent at Both Ends Both front and rear suspension use a double A-arm configuration, with the rear featuring a fully independent setup (IRS Independent Rear Suspension). This matters enormously in practice. Where a solid rear axle transfers shocks from one wheel directly to the other, IRS allows each rear wheel to react independently to the ground beneath it. The result is vastly improved grip on uneven terrain and a significantly more comfortable ride for both driver and passenger. That comfort is further enhanced by generous suspension travel, absorbing the impacts from roots, ruts and rocky outcrops that would leave a less-engineered machine battering its occupants. Long days in the field become markedly less fatiguing when the chassis is doing the hard work. "A ground clearance of 309mm means ditches, deep ruts, and uneven gateways are navigated with confidence, and without compromise." Ground Clearance & Dimensions With a ground clearance of 309.88mm (12.2 inches), the UTV 700 sits high enough to clear the sort of obstacles that regularly trap lower-slung machines. At 2,897mm long and 1,555mm wide, the vehicle's footprint is practical for navigating between farm buildings and along established tracks without feeling unduly large or unwieldy. Independent rear suspension and 309mm ground clearance make light work of British countryside challenges. 4WD, Diff-Lock & EPS: Technology That Earns Its Keep Electric 2WD / 4WD with Differential Lock The electrically selectable 2WD / 4WD system means you can run in two-wheel drive on firm ground, saving fuel and reducing drivetrain wear, then switch to 4WD at the touch of a button when conditions demand. The addition of a locking differential takes this further still. Locking the differential forces equal drive to both axle shafts, maximising traction in the worst conditions: waterlogged fields, deep mud, or steep hillsides where one wheel risks lifting. Electric Power Steering (EPS) Electric Power Steering has transformed the UTV driving experience. Where older machines required considerable physical effort to steer at low speeds, particularly in soft ground, EPS provides variable assistance that reduces driver fatigue without removing the steering feel that gives you confidence on challenging terrain. For professionals spending hours at the wheel each day, this is not a luxury; it is a meaningful ergonomic improvement. Electric Power Steering 4WD Diff-Lock Fuel Injection CBS Braking IRS Suspension Optional Full Cab 38L Fuel Tank Electric Start Braking: Combined Braking System Front & Rear Hydraulic disc brakes at both axles provide confident stopping power regardless of speed or load. The Combined Braking System (CBS) links front and rear circuits to prevent the imbalanced braking that can unsettle a heavily loaded vehicle on a loose or downhill surface, a meaningful safety feature for those regularly descending steep pastures with a loaded cargo bed. Key Technical Specification Engine Type SOHC, 4-Stroke, Liquid-Cooled Displacement 695cc Fuel System Fuel Injection Max. Power Output 45 HP @ 6,000 rpm Transmission CVT Auto H / L / N / R / P Drive System Electric 2WD / 4WD (Diff-Lock) Towing Capacity 650 kg (1,433 lbs) Ground Clearance 309.88 mm (12.2") Wheelbase 1,917 mm Fuel Tank 38 litres Dry Weight 674 kg Dimensions (LWH) 2,897 1,555 1,817 mm Front Suspension Double A-Arm Rear Suspension Double A-Arm (IRS) Braking Hydraulic Disc (CBS) Front & Rear Towing & Load Carrying: A Genuine Working Tool For farmers and estate managers, the headline towing figure of 650kg is the one that matters most on paper. In real-world terms, that is sufficient to move a loaded livestock trailer, a substantial log trailer, or a fully laden equipment trailer around the farm without drama. Combine this with the engine's broad torque delivery and the low-range CVT ratio, and steep uphill tows with a heavy load are handled with composure. The vehicle's substantial 674kg dry weight also works in your favour when towing: a heavier tow vehicle is a more stable one, less susceptible to the snaking and instability that can affect lighter machines when towing close to their rated capacity. The hitch assembly is a properly engineered unit with the maximum capacity label prominently displayed, a detail that matters when staying within legal load limits on UK roads. The engineered tow hitch is rated to 650kg genuinely useful capacity for working farm and estate applications. Cab Options: Year-Round Usability in the British Climate The British climate is famously uncooperative, and an open-cockpit side-by-side becomes genuinely miserable during an autumn or winter spent in driving rain and single-figure temperatures. Kymco addresses this directly with two factory cab options: The Full Cab (2,999) provides complete enclosure, protecting driver and passenger from rain, wind and cold, transforming the UTV 700 into a vehicle capable of genuine year-round use. The Half Cab (1,599) offers a windscreen and roof to deflect rain and reduce wind chill without fully enclosing the cabin, a useful middle ground for kinder weather whilst retaining meaningful protection. Both are designed and fitted as factory options rather than aftermarket additions of variable quality, ensuring a clean, integrated result that competitors at comparable price points struggle to match. Build Quality, Parts & UK Warranty Kymco has manufactured vehicles for over six decades and currently produces in excess of one million units annually. That industrial scale translates into manufacturing quality and supply-chain maturity that smaller manufacturers struggle to match. Panel fits are consistent, welds are clean, and hardware quality reflects a machine built to work rather than simply look the part at point of sale. Importantly for UK buyers, Kymco UK provides full UK parts and warranty support, distributed from Bridgend, South Wales. Parts held domestically means downtime in the event of a required repair is minimised, a genuine operational advantage for any working vehicle. The instrumentation is clear and practical exactly what a working vehicle requires. Who Is the Kymco UTV 700 Best Suited To? Farmers and agricultural workers will appreciate the 650kg towing capacity, the locking differential, the 38-litre tank, and the low-range transmission, all the tools needed for a productive day's work in all weathers. Estate and land managers will value the combination of genuine off-road capability with ride comfort that makes longer property journeys far less taxing than a comparable quad bike. The two-seater layout means a colleague can ride along, something an ATV simply cannot accommodate. Off-road enthusiasts will find a machine with ample performance, excellent suspension, and EPS making it a satisfying and accessible drive on green lanes and off-road parks alike.

Add the half-cab for 1,599 and the total remains well below the entry price of several comparable European and American alternatives, without sacrificing Kymco's domestically held parts infrastructure. The Full Cab at 2,999 brings the total to 13,598 (exc. VAT), still representing excellent value for a fully capable, weather-protected side-by-side with EPS and diff-lock as standard. For businesses, the UTV may also qualify as a legitimate capital expenditure against tax, worth discussing with your accountant. Ready to See It in Person?

Find Your Nearest Dealer View UTV 700 Details Verdict: The Kymco UTV 700 in Summary The Kymco UTV 700 is a thoroughly competent, well-engineered, and genuinely practical side-by-side that serves the British market with an uncommon degree of thoughtfulness. Its combination of 45HP power, switchable 4WD with diff-lock, Electric Power Steering, and a 650kg towing capacity would be impressive at a higher price point. At 10,599 excluding VAT, with factory cab options and the full backing of Kymco UK's parts and warranty network, it makes a compelling case that is difficult to dismiss. If you are in the market for a UTV that will genuinely earn its keep across the seasons, and across the challenging, unpredictable variety of British terrain, the UTV 700 belongs at the very top of your shortlist.

It is an honour to share this story with our audience! Please read below; ABOUT NEWPORT WETLANDS NATURE RESERVE "Newport Wetlands National Nature Reserve is owned and managed by Natural Resources Wales and works in partnership with RSPB Cymru, Newport City Council, and others, for the benefit of wildlife and people. Tucked between the city of Newport and the Severn Estuary, Newport Wetlands National Nature Reserve offers a haven for wildlife. Covering over 438 hectares from Uskmouth to Goldcliff, the reedbeds, saline lagoons, wet grassland, and scrub, attract a wealth of wetland birds." WHAT THEIR PROBLEM WAS MXU "RSPB Newport Wetlands offer a free rental mobility scooter service to their visitors but the current scooters they offer were old and worn out. It had come time to reinvest in making sure that the National Nature Reserve stays accessible to everyone by upgrading its current fleet. Previously they had 3 Kymco Maxis that had been running strong for 10 years transporting people through the parks rough terrain and battling the weather conditions throughout the years they had stood the test of time." MODERN MOBILITIES SOLUTION "With their urgency to upgrade and keep the park accessible to all we were set a tight deadline, and instantly set out to find the perfect solution. The National Nature Reserve made it clear that they wanted something as reliable and durable as the current Kymco Maxis. With all that in mind, we found the perfect solution theKymco Maxi XLSMobility Scooter which is a newer and improved version of what they currently had. TheKymco Maxi XLSis an 8mph scooter that offers you the ultimate high performance, making the rough terrain comfortable. The full suspension system ensures smooth travel over indoor and outdoor surfaces making them the perfect companion to explore the trails of the nature reserve. To make sure that RSPB Newport Wetlands got the family service we personally set out on an 8 hour round trip to hand-deliver them. So, we could guarantee that they came on time, and safe, and like on all the mobility aids we were able to provide introductory training on how to get the best possible use out of your scooter and how to use them safely." ABOUT MODERN MOBILITY MXU "Here at Modern Mobility, a customer of Modern Mobility isnt somebody who just purchases a product and leaves. A customer of Modern Mobility becomes part of the family, and no matter what problem or issue you may have we will strive to solve it for you. We pride ourselves on making your lives that little bit easier. By keeping your Freedom & Independence and assisting in sourcing the best mobility aids available at the time.

Fri, 29 Apr 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.kymco.co.uk/news/adventure-on-a-vsr KYMCO NEWS We would love to share with you all a wonderful story about the VSR 125, sent to usby a fellow KYMCO rider called Tony Mann. With some beautiful imagery, this story is a great telling of how great our VSR 125 really is! Please read below his story; "I have owned just about every kind of motorcycle you can think of over the years including BMW gs1250, Suzuki Hayabusa and others too numerous to mention.I was looking for a cheap but reliable 125 that I could use to do my 40 mile per day commute. The KYMCObrand had appeal to me as they have such a good history of turning out good reliable and affordable bikes going way back to the days when they used to build bikes for the mighty Honda. After a visit to my local dealer I thought that a VSR 125 would be just the job and at a little over 2k on the road an absolute bargain. For the price I wasnt really expecting much and as I already had a Vstrom and a Fireblade in the garage I wasnt that excited about picking it up. Anyway, the day came for me to collect the bike and within the first 5 miles I found myself thinking this is actually quite a nice little bike." "I ran her in with care and had the first service done by the dealer. As the engine loosened up a bit it became noticeably more willing to propel my 14 stone bulk up the very steep hills on my commute to work. As time went on I found that this charming little bike became my bike of choice for all of my riding, even at weekends. It was great fun to go out and plan a route of smaller roads where this bike has more than enough go to be interesting, it also handled pretty well when pushed in the twisty bits. Returning almost 130mpg I could ask no more of it. I had a friend who, like myself is an experienced biker who had also got a 125 so we decided to leave our big bikes at home and plan a camping trip around Wales on our 125s.This coincided with what turned out to be the hottest week of the year. We loaded our bikes up with all we needed. The poor little VSR had a three birth tent, bedding, cooking kit and a whole load of other essentials for a week away loaded onto it plus my faithful sheepskin seat topper that I use on all of my bikes when I intend to put in some serious saddle time!" "We planned a route from our home in West Somerset, avoiding all the fast roads that we could, seeking out the most scenic back roads and lanes. So, to Bristol, over the severn bridge and all the way up through mid Wales taking in the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park and the Elan Valley then riding along the stunning North West coast line, around Snowonia national park and a circuitous route back home camping wherever we could find a site towards the end of each day. We were putting in 8 to 10 hours per day riding with all of that kit, up and down the steepest of hills in blistering heat and the little bike just got on with it without any protest and never missed a beat. I had done pretty well the same trip on my Vstrom a few monthsbefore but this time we were seeking out the twisty back roads and mountain passes which made it way more fun and felt like a proper 700 mile adventure. My little VSR had managed to cover almost 6000 miles in 4 months. I serviced it regularly and it never complained and was always 100% reliable and up for anything I could throw at it. So a message to anyone considering buying one of these charming and surprisingly capable bikes. Dont just commute to college or work with it, chuck some kit on it and go have an adventure!"

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.kymco.co.uk/news/new-website KYMCO NEWS Earlier this year, we released our brand new website! Since then, we have continued to invest in further expanding the website with new additions and innovations. We would like to take this article to go over some of the new additions to the website, as well as a look at what's to come. Modern, Combined Home Page. Our website front page is now a modern directory where you can directly access all of our different product ranges, instead of having different websites for each. We also have new, updated web banners which will show you all the latest news, announcements and developments of the KYMCO brand! Modern, Spacious Product Layout. Our new product layouts are built with modern and spacious design which allows viewers to feel calm whilst viewing, whilst also giving our products more space to cover and show their impressive model! Dealer Locator 2.0 The new KYMCO dealer locator is made with simplicity and efficiency in mind. Simply enter your postcode in the top, select what product you want to see and find your local dealers on a map or in a proximity list format! It has never been easier to find a KYMCO dealer, and the locator is updated frequently with new dealers, so always keep an eye out! Additionally, one of the main things we are working on for the website is new areas such as azone for our dealer network and a zone for our IONEX brand, who supply our electric motorcycle products like the upcoming i-One and Agility EV. IONEX - Efficient, Reliable & Fun IONEX is KYMCO's approach to the electric market, and providing an impressive solution to combat climate change affecting the world. We lead the charge on infrastructure and technology in the electric motorcycle market and are excited to expand this leadership into mainland UK. Tue, 04 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT
