2017 Honda Pioneer 1000 LE
The Intelligent Side X Side
Honda unveiled two new limited-edition versions of its flagship side-by-side, the Pioneer 1000-5 LE and Pioneer 1000 LE, both of which come with a new I-4WD system.

What is I-4WD?
The I-4WD intelligent system is borrowed from Honda’s automotive engineering department. It was designed to do three things: brake traction control, hill-start assist and electronic brake force distribution.
The I-4WD is an intelligent differential system that combines the four-wheel-drive and diff-lock functions into a single selection mode. It incorporates a brake traction-control system to manage the amount of slip between left and right front wheels, applying torque to the wheel with greater grip.

Both Limited Edition versions of the Pioneer 1000 also come with additional upgrades to improve suspension performance, protection, convenience and style, while non-LE models also get several important improvements.
“It is exciting to share the news that Honda is bringing I-4WD differential technology to the side-by-side market for the first time,” said Lee Edmunds, Manager of Powersports Marketing Communications at American Honda. “To develop this intelligent system, Honda engineers collaborated with our automotive division and then tailored a system specifically for the rigors of the off-road environment.”
Two new iterations are available: the five-person Pioneer 1000-5 LE and three-person Pioneer 1000 LE. The Pioneer 1000-5 LE MSRP is $21,599 and the Pioneer 1000 LE lists for $19,999.
