2018 Yamaha Wolverine X4 Test Review

For 2018, Yamaha is launching their second entry into the Sport/Utility segment with the introduction of the new, from the ground up Wolverine X4. According to Yamaha, “The Wolverine X4 is designed to be the most capable 4-seat recreational SxS delivering superior performance in tight technical terrain.” Yamaha tells us that the car was developed to fill the needs of customers prioritizing terrain conquering capability, durability, comfort, a compact feel, and utility function capability. With Fall colors setting in, we were given the opportunity to put the machine through a day of testing on the twisty mountainous trails of Brushy Mountain Motorsports Park located in the Brushy Mountains in North Carolina, which proved to be the perfect place to show off the Wolverine X4.

Conclusion

Yamaha’s Wolverine X4 is a great machine for exploring wooded trails and weekend camping trips in the wilderness. Its expansive, well integrated line of accessories make it one of the most versatile side-by-sides on the market.
Priced from $15,999 up to $17,249 for the Matte Carbon and Matte Silver Special Edition models, the Wolverine X4 is competitively priced. The Wolverine X4 plays hard while retaining the ability to get work done without too much compromise. Its sporting performance kept us smiling while its comfortable ride and interior had us wishing the day was a little longer.
