Yamaha Expands Utility Line with Kodiak 700 and 450 Kiwami Editions

Yamaha Motor Europe has unveiled two new Utility ATV models for 2026: The Kodiak 700 Kiwami and Kodiak 450 Kiwami. Engineered for professionals who demand durability, capability and all-day comfort, both models mark the most refined iterations of the Kodiak line to date.

“Kiwami” — meaning “ultimate” or “pinnacle” in Japanese — sets the tone for these machines, which offer elevated specifications and real-world reliability. Both models come equipped with heated grips, thumb warmer, protective hand guards, a rugged seat cover, and durable aluminium front and rear baskets, making them all-seasonworkhorses for forestry, agriculture, estate management and beyond.

The Kodiak 700 Kiwami features Yamaha's powerful 686cc MK II engine, paired with Ultramatic CVT, On-Command 4WD with Diff-lock, and Electric Power Steering. With a 600 kg towing capacity, KYB suspension, disc brakes and a standard WARN winch, it's built for serious workloads without sacrificing comfort or control.

The Kodiak 450 Kiwami delivers compact versatility, powered by a 421cc EFI engine and offering smooth low-end torque, class-leading engine braking, and confident traction through a selectable 2WD/4WD/Diff-lock system. With long-stroke KYB shocks and a compact chassis, it's the ideal mid-size partner for navigating narrow tracks or tight terrain.

The Kodiak 700 Kiwami will be available in Desert Tan / Midnight Blue from February 2026, with Olive Green 700 and 450 models available later in the year.
