After introducing the MXU 700i ATV in 2013, it only made sense for KYMCO to launch the UXV 700i side-by-side utility vehicle for 2014. The latter comes in four trim levels, all powered by the same engine and built on the same platform.

2014 KYMCO UXV 700i stands out with more rugged styling
KYMCO has completely redesigned the body of the UXV, giving it more muscle and testosterone for a look that calls to mind American full-size pickup trucks. There's a front storage compartment under the hood that's great for small items, like tools or snacks. Fit and finish has also been improved, with a paint job that will prove highly scratch-resistant.

The 2014 KYMCO UXV 700i features two bucket seats separated by the engine and transmission, while the instrument panel includes a fuel gauge, speedometer, odometer, trip meter, high beam indicator, and temperature gauge.
