Side-by-sides (UTVs/SxS) have transformed the powersports landscape. Once a niche off-road utility machine, today’s side-by-sides are high-tech, high-performance vehicles equally at home hauling gear, exploring trails, or cruising the dunes with family and friends. With industry leaders like Polaris (RZR, Ranger, General, XPEDITION), Can-Am (Maverick, Defender), and strong offerings from Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Textron/Arctic Cat and CFMOTO, buyers now enjoy more choice and capability than ever.
A Booming Industry
The side-by-side segment is the fastest-growing category in powersports. Over the last three years, sales have risen sharply as more people discover how versatile these vehicles are for work and play. Analysts project continued mid-single-digit growth through 2030—driven by new performance models, family-friendly interiors, integrated GPS/infotainment, and factory street-legal packages. In other words: more riders, more trails, more innovation.
