The Top 5 Things We Love About the Teryx 5 H2 Deluxe



1. Unrivaled, Class-Leading Power


If you've heard anything about this new vehicle, you know it's built to dominate. The Teryx 5 H2 Deluxe produces a staggering, class-leading 250 horsepower and 146 foot-pounds of torque from its inline four-cylinder engine. Crucially, it stands alone in its class as the only engine to feature a supercharger, ensuring power is always on tap.


2. Advanced Suspension and Rigid Chassis


Built for speed and control, the Teryx 5 H2 features a long wheelbase and a wide, stable stance. The core is a very rigid chassis with built-in rollover protection structure. Handling is managed by an advanced suspension system featuring Fox Live Valve shocks with real-time electronic damping on all four wheels, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride no matter the terrain.


3. Versatile Drivetrain and Adjustable Drive Modes


The Teryx 5 H2’s versatile drivetrain gives riders full control, offering the ability to switch between two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, or four-wheel drive with a front differential lock. To manage the immense power, the vehicle also features three selectable power modes—Low, Medium, or Full—as well as three adjustable suspension settings—Soft, Normal, or Firm. Best of all, any of these settings can be adjusted on the fly.


4. Premium Cabin and Integrated Technology


Available in either four or five-seat configurations, the model we explored was the five-seat version, featuring three seats in the back in a bench-style configuration. Premium materials are used throughout the interior, and multimedia features are readily available on a large 10-inch Garmin screen. This system allows for Bluetooth connectivity, multimedia applications, and essential navigation features to guide you through the toughest trails.


5. Distinctive and Aggressive Styling


The Teryx 5 H2 is as enjoyable to look at as it is to drive. Its distinctive and sleek styling includes a low-profile silhouette, a large hood scoop, and a signature dual-exit exhaust that provides an aggressive and powerful stance. Finishing touches like LED accent lighting, the use of high-grade finishes on exterior components, and premium interior materials complete the look of this powerful side-by-side.
