What is UTV?

A UTV is an off-road vehicle with two or more seats, built for travelling over varied ground.

It is steadier than an ATV, thanks to the side-by-side seating and the longer wheelbase.

It can be used for adventure, for exploring and for practical work.

It is a popular choice for guided rides and for group outings.
