OVERVIEW

3 unique power modes allow you to set power delivery based on objective, preference, and conditions.

– Work mode offers a milder throttle response for great low-speed control.

– Sport mode, a sharper, more direct feeling between the gas pedal and engine.

– Normal mode is a perfect balance between work mode and sport mode, producing a smooth engine response from the time the throttle is opened.

Smooth ride quality for all passengers is the top priority for the all-new RIDGE® CREW HVAC side x side. An optimized continuously variable transmission (CVT) minimizes noise and vibration in the cab. Together, the in-line 4-cylinder engine and CVT create a smooth, lag-free response every time you step on the gas.

On-the-fly electrically selectable 4WD and rear differential lock allow you to quickly and easily switch between drive systems to accommodate terrain and conditions. Locking the rear differential causes the rear wheels to act as a single axle and prevents wheelspin in low-traction situations or when a wheel is suspended in the air. Switch to 4WD for maximum traction in muddy or snowy conditions.

– 2WD offers light steering
– 4WD delivers enhanced traction while minimizing ground disturbance
– For maximum traction, select 4WD + differential lock

The snorkel-style intake for the engine and CVT is located under the hood, where the chance of dust or water ingestion is minimal. A high-quality Donaldson air filter keeps debris and dust out of the engine. Plus, rear-facing exhaust ports redirect heat from the cab and a dual-wall heat shield offers further heat protection.

A premium interior fit and finish starts with standard hard roof and doors. All 4 doors have both exterior and interior latches and electric power windows. Reminiscent of a luxury SUV, an automotive-inspired dashboard with backlit switches and controls, ambient floor lighting, and other decorative components elevate RIDGE® CREW HVAC to a place no side x side has gone before.

RIDGE® CREW HVAC features a high-grade, 7-in, full-color thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD screen with multiple display modes. Built-in smartphone technology enables wireless connection, and with RIDEOLOGY THE APP* POWERSPORTS, riders get vehicle information directly from the instrument panel. Along with vehicle management and maintenance features, the Kawasaki-exclusive app has trip recording and sharing so you can share and relive your most memorable journeys.

A multitude of convenience features accommodate bigger groups: 6 large cup holders, 2 storage nets on the back of the front bench, a DC outlet, 2 USB outlets, and more. Additional storage is located beneath both benches, and the center and right-side seats flip up to transport especially bulky cargo.

All RIDGE® CREW HVAC side x sides include multiple vents with mode selection (defrost, defrost + floor, floor, dash + floor, dash), a powerful blower motor with adjustable fan strength, a choice of fresh or recirculated air, and fast acting temperature control.

When there’s a job to be done, RIDGE® CREW HVAC side x sides step up to the plate with a massive 2,500-lb towing capacity and a 1,000-lb capacity tilting cargo bed with a detachable tailgate.

Electric power steering (EPS) is standard, and Kawasaki’s high-grade EPS system works best when you need it most: at extremely slow speed and when stopped. EPS also acts as a damping system, enhancing ride comfort and control.

Like all MULE™ side x sides, RIDGE® CREW HVAC models are backed by an industry-leading 3-Year Kawasaki STRONG Limited Warranty.
