Kawasaki Unleashes Supercharged Fury: Meet the 2026 Teryx4 H2 and Teryx5 H2 Lineup

A new era of desert dominance is here — and it’s supercharged.

Kawasaki has just dropped a bombshell on the high-performance side-by-side world with the reveal of its all-new 2026 Teryx®4 H2, Teryx4 H2 Deluxe, and Teryx®5 H2 Deluxe models. These machines don’t just raise the bar — they obliterate it with a screaming 250-horsepower supercharged inline four-cylinder engine, purpose-built for wide-open dunes, desert runs, and adrenaline-fueled family rides.

💥 250 Horses. Zero Lag. All Thrill.

At the heart of these monsters lies a 999cc inline 4-cylinder supercharged engine that delivers a mind-bending 250 hp and 146.2 lb-ft of torque. Borrowing tech straight from Kawasaki’s Ninja H2 motorcycles, this engine isn’t just about brute force — it’s about instant throttle response, silky-smooth power delivery, and brutal top-end performance.

Forget turbo lag. The supercharger is gear-driven, which means you get seamless, on-demand acceleration with a redline that screams all the way to 9,500 rpm. With a CVT specially designed to harness this power, the Teryx H2s deliver explosive yet predictable thrust without any of the harsh spikes you might expect from a high-strung turbo setup.

🏜️ Desert-Ready Chassis and Suspension

These machines weren’t built to crawl through the woods — they were engineered to shred dunes, dominate desert whoops, and fly across open terrain with confidence.

• Long-travel FOX 3.0 Internal Bypass shocks provide up to 24 inches of rear suspension travel.
• A wide 74-inch stance and 126-inch wheelbase offer insane stability at speed.
• Heavy-duty A-arms and a 4-link rear trailing arm setup ensure full composure even in the roughest terrain.
• High-strength frame with integrated ROPS and 16.1″ of ground clearance for true off-road durability.

And for those who demand next-level suspension performance, the Deluxe trims come equipped with Kawasaki Electronically Controlled Suspension (KECS) with FOX Live Valve and real-time terrain adjustment — a first for Kawasaki side-by-sides.

🚀 Built to Look Fast — Standing Still

Visually, the Teryx H2 line is nothing short of stunning. The sleek, low-profile design is backed by Kawasaki’s iconic Lime Green accents, aggressive LED lighting, and a wide, menacing stance. Add in premium paint, beadlock wheels, and high-end details like dual-exit exhaust and a red “Supercharged” intercooler badge — and you’ve got the ultimate trail trophy.

Whether you’re parked at Glamis or leading the pack at a ride night meetup, this machine turns heads.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Room for the Whole Crew

Adventure is better with friends — and Kawasaki didn’t forget that. The Teryx4 H2 models offer four bucket seats with 4-point harnesses, while the Teryx5 H2 Deluxe swaps in a three-person sport bench in the rear. Both configurations boast a spacious, automotive-style interior loaded with premium materials, backlit controls, and a 7-inch full-color TFT display with smartphone connectivity via Rideology the App.

Want more? The Deluxe trims include a 10-inch Garmin Tread® infotainment system, onboard speakers, and full integration for maps, vehicle info, music, and group ride features.

🧠 Smart Power & Driver Modes

With three power modes (Full, Mid, Low) and on-the-fly 2WD/4WD/diff lock selection, these side-by-sides can adapt to any terrain or driving style. Need to chill during a scenic trail ride? Pop it in Low. Want all 250 ponies at your feet? Hit Full Power and hold on tight.

• Skid plates and bumpers
• Polycarbonate and glass windshields
• Roof options
• Winch kits
• Cargo boxes and storage racks
