This particular utility task vehicle features one of the most high-powered engines seen in a vehicle in its class, with the inclusion of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine offering best-in-class performance in a variety of [rugged environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-offroad-vehicle). This engine works in conjunction with an enlarged belt, reinforced driveline and features such as triple-mode throttle control to ensure that drivers have the ability to channel engine power to where they need it the most, whether they're accelerating along a straight or working their way up a sandy hill. This utility task vehicle also offers a chassis that is far stronger than most of its competitors, one of many reasons why its $31,999 price may be considered a steal given the reduced need for pricy upgrades.
