Suzuki launches new flagship ATV models to cement its position as
the King of Quads
Suzuki has today announced the launch of three new ATV
models – the all-new KingQuad 750XP, 500XP and 500X.
he new ATVs are
Suzuki KingQuads
through and
through, and are
the result of 30
years of
engineering expertise, refinement
through customer and dealer
feedback, and an unequalled
reputation for quality that Suzuki
has earned building each one.
Since introducing the first ever
four-wheeled ATV to the market in
1983 there have been countless
competitors to the iconic
KingQuad – which is why Suzuki’s
engineers and designers are
constantly looking to innovate and
improve.
The primary concept for these
new KingQuads was to be ‘built
tough for every ride’ and with the
list of new features that Suzuki has
introduced, these new models are
sure to shake up the industry once
again.
With a solid, edgy and dynamic
design, the new models boast a
variety of features that will make
Suzuki ATVs even more hard-
working and user-friendly.
Easier to ride
The front suspension, steering
system, power steering system,
rear stabiliser, and the chassis
frame are all new, which combine
to deliver excellent straight-line
stability as well as sure-footed
handling when cornering and
improved maneuverability. These
improvements also make the
machine easier to ride as shock
levels are reduced and less rider
effort is required when travelling
over diverse terrain.
Increased towing capacity
Improvements to the chassis
also result in a superior towing
capacity to the outgoing models –
an increase of 33% to 600kg. This
means that Suzuki KingQuads can
help farmers and land workers
improve operational efficiency by
enabling them to move heavier
loads.
Improved engine performance
Refinements and changes have
been made to the engine unit to
continue Suzuki’s reputation for
high levels of performance and
reliability during all types of riding.

The engine’s performance
characteristics have been updated
to deliver a smooth and strong
acceleration from standstill in
order to help achieve the
increased towing capacity.
Additional updates to the CVT
and clutch system have been
implemented to alter the
acceleration and deceleration
behaviour so that it is smoother
and stronger as well as improving
engine braking. Furthermore, on
the KingQuad 750 model, oil
pump output has been in creased
by 25% and a piston oil jet has
been added to increase durability
by cooling the piston and
increasing lubrication.
Enhanced usability and practicality
Suzuki has also introduced a
range of features such as new
additional storage compartments
and a handlebar-mounted
headlight, which directly contribute
to enhanced usability and
practicality. In addition, the new
multi-function instrument panel is
easier to view and also includes a
service reminder icon. Then, once
the ATV is with an Authorised
Suzuki Dealer for its service, the
work itself has been made easier
through the re-design of some
body parts that make some
components such as the fuel filter,
easier to access.
A new LED tail light has also
been introduced to improve
visibility and to free up charging
capacity for other electrical
devices.
With its tried and tested
products, Suzuki has carved out
an enviable reputation for being
the ‘go to’ brand for the supply of
ATVs into farming and agriculture,
as well as achieving several
notable fleet sales deals into the
adventure and trekking market. In
fact, Suzuki has just achieved its
best year ever in terms of market
share in the ATV division. These
new KingQuad models are sure to
reinforce that reputation.
George Cheeseman, Head of
Suzuki GB’s ATV Division, said,
“Today is a momentous day. These
exciting new models have been
eagerly anticipated and I am sure
that they will prove to be extremely
popular amongst existing and new
customers. Suzuki was the first on
four wheels, introducing the very
first four-wheel ATV in 1983 and we
are proud that our engineers are
continuing to innovate and invest
in the product range, meaning that
we remain the King of Quads!”
All Suzuki ATVs come with free
EASI rider training and a free
Suzuki workwear kit consisting of
overalls and a bodywarmer, to
keep you warm and dry out in the
field. They also come with a free
CESAR Security System powered
by Datatag, giving each ATV a
unique ‘fingerprint’ with an identity
that cannot be erased. This acts as
a powerful theft deterrent and a
tool for recovery should the worst
happen.
In addition to Suzuki’s quality
products, the brand is supported
by a strong network of trusted and
knowledgeable Dealers
throughout the UK and the new
KingQuad ATVs will be ready to
order from September onwards.
