4-Seater Side-by-Sides: Types, Engine Sizes and Real Prices (2026)
- on November 04, 2026
- Categories: Articles
Right now a 4-seater side-by-side at Motobuys starts at $4,299 for a buggy-style go-kart and runs to $9,199 for a 390.8cc 4x4. Seat count barely changes the engine: the 4-seat Challenger uses the same 168.9cc as its 2-seat sibling. Plan on 169–177cc for flat property and light loads, 276cc for hills and four adults.
Most four-seat guides never say what the extra bench changes. This one does. Every price below comes from our live listings.
How much does a 4 seater side by side cost?
Here is every four-seat gas or electric machine we list as available today, cheapest first. Prices are live as of November 4, 2026 and they move, so the product page always has the final word. The first three rows are open-frame buggies we list as adult go-karts, not UTVs. They are here because shoppers want to compare them with the cage-and-roof models.

What do the extra two seats actually add?
Not power. The 4-seat Challenger 4-200EX has the same 168.9cc engine as the 2-seat Challenger 200EX EFI, and the 4-seat Challenger 4-300X EFI has the same 275.6cc as the 2-seat Challenger 300EX EFI. What you buy is a longer frame and a second bench.
| Engine | 2-seat model | Price | 4-seat model | Price | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 168.9cc | Challenger 200EX EFI | $4,599 | Challenger 4-200EX | $5,499 | $900 |
| 275.6cc | Challenger 300EX EFI | $5,599 | Challenger 4-300X EFI | $6,699 | $1,100 |
Closest 2-seat sibling by engine size. Trim and equipment differ between models, so compare the spec lists before you decide.
That has a practical consequence. The same engine now moves a longer, heavier machine with up to four people on it. On flat ground you will not notice. On a long grade with four adults aboard, you will notice every one of them.
Buggy, sport UTV or golf-cart style: which 4-seater fits?
Buggy-style go-karts
The Blazer 4-200EX, the CRT Moto DF200GHA and the Eagle 300XRS-4E are the lowest-priced way to seat four. They are open-frame machines with automatic CVT drive and reverse. Pick one if the machine lives on your property, the ground is mostly level and price matters more than weather protection. If you want a cage and a roof over the back bench, keep reading.
Sport UTVs with a roll cage
The Challenger 4-300X EFI lists independent rear suspension, a full roll cage and a bimini top, which makes it our pick for four people on rough ground. The Challenger 4-200EX is cheaper and lists an adjustable seat and steering wheel plus a throttle limiter. That pairing helps when two drivers of very different sizes share one machine.
Golf-cart style UTVs
The Taurus line trades speed for usefulness. The 200GX has a full-length roof and a rear cargo area, and the 200E-GX EFI offers a dump bed as an option. The 450-GX adds 4x4 with a high/low gear and a rear seat that converts to cargo space, so it carries four people on Saturday and feed or firewood on Sunday. The Taurus 50EV is the electric option, if you want a quiet machine for a large property.
How much engine does a 4 seater need?
Here is where we take a side. If four adults will ride regularly and you have any real slope, skip 169cc and start at 276cc. The question we hear most on the phone is whether a 169cc four-seater will pull a full load uphill. It will move, slowly, and the rear passengers will be asked to lean forward. At 276cc the same hill is a non-event.
- •168.9cc to 177.3cc: flat property, short runs, one or two adults with children in back.
- •275.6cc: mixed terrain and full loads. This is the engine size most four-seat buyers should be shopping.
- •390.8cc 4x4: steep ground, mud and work duty. The high/low range is the reason to pay for it.

What to check before you order a four-seater
- •Length. A four-seater is noticeably longer than a two-seater. Measure your gate, garage door and trailer before you order, not after.
- •Assembly. These machines arrive in a crate and need building. Many Motobuys listings offer an assembly service as an option. Ask when you call.
- •Passenger fit. A full-size seat and belt are built around adult dimensions. If children will ride in back, read our family UTV fit guide first.
- •Where you can drive it. Treat every listing as off-road unless the page says otherwise, and read what decides whether a UTV or go-kart is street legal before you plan any road use.
Browse by engine size: 150–200cc UTVs, mid-size UTVs, UTVs over 300cc, electric UTVs and adult go-karts.
