2026 Honda® Pioneer 520

Small footprint, bigger capabilities

Compact yet mighty, the updated 2026 Pioneer 520 offers exceptional versatility with its 518cc engine, 50-inch width, and 1000-pound towing capacity. Now with increased top speed, standard under-seat storage, and improved heat management to keep the cabin cooler, it's perfectly designed to fit your life's adventures.

Features may include:

  • POWERFUL 518cc ENGINE

With an engine that’s both bigger and more powerful than our Pioneer 500’s, the Pioneer 520 also features electronic fuel injection. The engine is specially tuned for low-rpm torque and coupled with an efficient five-speed automatic transmission.

  • AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH AT/MT MODE

You can let the Honda Pioneer 520’s automatic transmission shift for you, or you can still shift yourself with its paddle shifters. You can even shift from auto to manual (AT to MT) on the fly!

  • TILT/DUMP BED

The Pioneer 520 features a super-convenient tilt/dump bed that can carry up to 450 pounds. An assist strut makes dumping easy, the tailgate opens flat, and the inside of the bed is set up for plywood dividers, or to hold milk crates or plastic buckets.

  • COMPACT 50-INCH WIDTH AND TRAXLOK® 2WD/4WD

The Pioneer 520’s 50-inch overall width is a huge bonus, whether it’s for width-restricted trails or convenient transportation and storage (it fits into the bed of most full-sized pickups). Plus, TraxLok lets you choose either 2WD or 4WD
