How much does an ATV cost?

So you want to buy an ATV but you have a certain budget that you’re working with or just want to know what you’re getting into economically. Let’s dive into the general cost of ATVs by looking at the average going rate for the different types of four wheeler. We’ll also list out 5 of the top brands and their price range for each of the four main ATV styles.

Youth ATV Pricing

Up first, we have the baby of the bunch which is depicted by its name, the youth style ATV. Because these are typically designed for smaller and more novice riders it also typically has the smaller frame, the smaller engine, goes at the lowest max speed, has little to no towing capacity as well as the smallest payload out of the other major ATV types. That said, the youth styles are typically going to be the lighter hitting ATVs when it comes to your wallet. If you have a budget of around $2,000 to $5,000 then you will have no problem getting a nice youth style four wheeler. Here is a list of 5 of the top youth style ATV brands and the price range for each of them:

Youth ATVs:

  1. Honda TRX90X: $3,000 – $3,500

Sport ATV Pricing

One of the most popular ATV styles is on average about twice as expensive as the youth style ATV. Sport ATVs have a tendency to cost more because of the nature by which most are used. More emphasis is put on speed so engines have to be equipped to reach max speeds. Safety features, frame enhancements, and other details make these designs a little more expensive an average youth four wheeler. Sport ATVs range anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 in average pricing. Here is a list of 5 of the top brands for this four wheeler type and their price ranges:

Utility ATV Pricing

Bigger engine, good speed, decent horsepower and versatility these units have the total package. With the Utility ATV you may find one on a work site, riding around the scene of a motor cross event, or even in your neighbors backyard area.

Multi-passenger ATVs (Side-by-side):

Last but certainly not least in size nor pricing, is the ever popular Multi-passenger side-by-side style ATV. The biggest in size, towing capacity, seating capacity, engine size, horsepower, weight, and cargo space is also biggest in price tag.
