Suzuki the benchmark for ATV

] Supplied by Suzuki NZ

Over 40 years ago Suzuki’s technical people in Wanganui recognised one of those needs and set about inventing what would become a common sight on any kiwi farm – the four-wheeler ATV. Starting with a three-wheel machine designed for leisure purposes, Suzuki engineers turned that into something suitable for farm use. They grafted on a two-wheel front axle, designed a new suspension system, front and rear carriers, and added other farm-oriented features. They sent that prototype back to Japan with the instruction “make this and we’ll sell thousands”. The rest of course, is history.

The modern ATV can be spotted in any rural setting, and is one of the most versatile and essential tools on the farm.

Development of Suzuki ATV has continued over the years to the point where the brand is recognised as among the most reliable and cost-effective four-wheelers on the market.

Suzuki is the benchmark for ATV; the range includes the basic KingQuad 400, the ever-popular KingQuad 500, and the range topping KingQuad 750.

The 400cc version is available in either manual or automatic transmission variants and is a well-engineered, down to earth workhorse, with a solid reputation for being a no-frills, durable machine. Made in the USA like all Suzuki farm ATV, the build quality and reliability is without question, and the ease of use and no-nonsense design makes the KingQuad the clear choice for everyday farm use.

The KingQuad 500 and 750 range have CVT automatic transmissions as standard, independent suspension for

They say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, but over the years, development of the KingQuad range has continued. The latest iterations feature a heavier 2mm thick tube frame and updated suspension offering 172mm and 194mm front and rear wheel travel respectively. An improved rear stabiliser delivers a better ride while towing capacity climbs to 600kg, and a digital screen provides all the information a farmer needs.

Such is the proven reliability of the KingQuad range that Suzuki has increased the warranty period to three years or 15,000km, whichever comes first. This is a significant move giving farmers the confidence to know that Suzuki backs up their products with one of the best warranty offerings in the market.
