Description

Five Seats. Serious Capability. Built to Do More.

The 2026 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe combines the serious work capability of the Pioneer 1000 platform with flexible seating for up to five people, plus a roof and tow hitch fitted as standard.

Powered by Honda's 999cc parallel-twin engine and equipped with a 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe delivers strong performance without relying on a conventional CVT drive belt.

With selectable 2WD and 4WD, Differential Lock, Turf Mode, long-travel independent suspension, a 1,134kg towing capacity and a convertible rear seating and cargo area, it's designed to adapt to whatever the day requires.

Carry the crew. Carry the gear. Tow the trailer. Then head straight back into the paddock.

Powerful 999cc Twin-Cylinder Engine

At the heart of the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe is Honda's 999cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin four-stroke engine.

The longitudinally mounted engine uses Honda's Unicam SOHC four-valve cylinder head design and PGM-FI electronic fuel injection.

It's designed to deliver strong performance throughout the rev range, with plenty of usable power for towing, carrying loads and tackling challenging terrain.

6-Speed Dual Clutch Transmission

No conventional CVT drive belt here.

Honda's 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) uses mechanical gears to provide direct power delivery while retaining the convenience of a fully automatic transmission.

Leave it in Automatic and let the Pioneer take care of the shifting, or select Manual mode and change gears yourself using the steering-column-mounted paddle shifters.

Even while driving in Automatic mode, the paddles allow you to temporarily override the selected gear when you want additional control.

Throttle By Wire

For 2026, the Pioneer 1000-5 features Honda's Throttle By Wire system.

Electronic throttle control helps provide smooth, precise response and contributes to smoother operation of the DCT transmission.

It also allows the Pioneer to provide different operating characteristics to better suit the job at hand.

Tow/Haul Mode

Got a trailer or heavy load behind you?

Select Tow/Haul mode and the transmission adjusts its shifting behaviour to better suit demanding work.

It's another example of the Pioneer 1000 being designed as more than simply an off-road recreational vehicle – this is a machine built to work.

2WD, 4WD, Differential Lock & Turf Mode

Different conditions call for different drivetrain settings.

The Pioneer 1000-5 gives you access to:

  • 2WD
  • 4WD
  • Differential Lock
  • Turf Mode

Use 2WD when conditions are good, engage 4WD when you need additional traction and select Differential Lock when the terrain becomes particularly challenging.

Turf Mode is useful when travelling across more sensitive surfaces where you want to minimise ground disturbance.

1,134kg Towing Capacity

The Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe is ready for serious work.

With a maximum 1,134kg towing capacity, there's plenty of capability for towing trailers, equipment and other heavy loads around the property.

Combined with the torquey 999cc twin-cylinder engine and geared DCT transmission, it's a Side-by-Side designed to do much more than simply transport people.

Flexible Five-Person Seating

The standout feature of the Pioneer 1000-5 is its ability to carry up to five people.

Honda's clever convertible rear seating gives you the flexibility to change the configuration depending on what you need to carry.

Need passengers? Bring the rear seats into use.

Need more cargo space? Convert the rear area back into a practical cargo bed.

This gives you the flexibility to use the same machine for moving people around the property one minute and carrying equipment the next.

Up to 454kg Cargo Bed Capacity

With the rear seating configured for cargo, the Pioneer 1000-5 provides serious carrying capability.

The cargo bed is rated to carry up to 454kg, giving you plenty of capacity for tools, fencing equipment, feed and other farm essentials.

That combination of passenger flexibility and genuine cargo capability is what makes the 1000-5 such a versatile machine.

Independent Front & Rear Suspension

The Pioneer 1000-5 uses independent double-wishbone suspension front and rear.

You get approximately 269mm of front suspension travel and 254mm at the rear, allowing each wheel to react independently to changing terrain.

Whether you're travelling across rough paddocks, rutted tracks or uneven country, the long-travel suspension helps provide traction, control and passenger comfort.

Maxxis Big Horn 2.0 Tyres

The Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe rides on tough 27-inch Maxxis Big Horn 2.0 tyres.

These provide plenty of traction for off-road conditions while working together with the long-travel suspension and 4WD system to give the Pioneer serious all-terrain capability.

Premium 14-Inch Alloy Wheels

The Deluxe model steps up to premium 14-inch aluminium wheels with an all-black finish.

They're matched with 27-inch Maxxis tyres to complete the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe's purposeful stance.

Electronic Power Steering

Honda's Electronic Power Steering (EPS) helps reduce steering effort and driver fatigue.

Whether you're manoeuvring around sheds and gateways, carrying passengers or navigating rough terrain, EPS helps make the Pioneer easier and more comfortable to control.

It's particularly valuable when you're spending long days behind the wheel.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes Front & Rear

Serious performance and carrying capacity need serious stopping power.

The Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe uses dual 230mm hydraulic disc brakes at both the front and rear.

The four-wheel disc setup provides strong, predictable braking whether you're travelling light or putting the Pioneer to work.

330mm Ground Clearance

With approximately 330mm of ground clearance, the Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe is ready for rough terrain.

Combined with its 27-inch tyres, independent suspension and selectable 4WD system, there's plenty of capability for navigating ruts, uneven paddocks and challenging farm tracks.

Formed ROPS

The 2026 Pioneer 1000-5 introduces a newly designed formed Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS).

The updated design also creates improved sealing surfaces for accessories such as windscreens and doors, making it easier to build the Pioneer into a more enclosed working vehicle.

Comfortable Front Bench

The contoured front bench is designed to accommodate three people.

The centre seating position is positioned slightly forward to maximise available space and improve comfort across the bench.

A tough seat covering is designed to handle the realities of off-road and working use.

12V Power in the Cargo Bed

The Deluxe includes a 12-volt accessory socket in the rear bed.

That provides a convenient power source for accessories such as spotlights, compressors and other equipment when you're out working.

Accessory Switch Panel

The Deluxe also features an integrated seven-position accessory switch panel.

This gives you dedicated positions for controlling accessories such as additional lighting, a winch and other equipment without needing to clutter the dashboard with aftermarket switches.

Practical Cabin Storage

A useful under-dash storage shelf keeps frequently used items close at hand.

Whether it's gloves, tools, your phone or other small essentials, there's somewhere convenient to put them while you're working.

Easy-to-Read Digital Display

The LCD instrument display provides clear information including:

  • Vehicle speed
  • Fuel level
  • Engine RPM
  • Transmission mode
  • Engine temperature
  • Trip information
  • Drive information

Everything you need is positioned where it's easy to see from the driver's seat.
