#CARBCertification

The Kawasaki Ridge is a unique UTV, a rare combination of work-meets-play that just so happens to be powered by a beefy four-cylinder engine. As is the trend in the side-by-side world, it was only a matter of time before Kawasaki supplemented its two-seat Ridge with a four-seater, and that time appears to be coming for the 2025 model year. At least according to some public data recently released about Kawi's new certified lineup. And our team "decoded" the information to reach this exciting conclusion... (Let's review the evidence.)

The sport and performance UTV segment has been extremely hot over the last few years and recent news shows it isn't cooling off just yet. Instead, manufacturers are pouring more resources into the category, as is evident by Polaris' updated-for-2025 RZR Pro models and news that has come via the California Air Resources Board (CARB) that show Can-Am is expanding its Maverick R lineup even further for 2025. The documents also show that the big-bore ATV lineup has been revised, too.
