How it differs from the 750AXi
The 500 and 750 share the same chassis, so the difference is the engine: 493cc against 722cc. The list prices in this data are the same for both at $10,029. The 500 carries a $600 destination charge against $700 for the 750.
On those numbers a buyer who does not need the extra power gets the same tow rating and equipment for the same list price. So the price a dealer quotes decides the choice.
Test the power steering at low speed and the diff-lock selector. Check the CVT belt and the shaft drive. Ask for service records.
Look at the independent suspension for leaks and worn bushings. Check the towing hitch and racks for damage.
The 500AXi suits a working owner who wants power steering and a locking front differential without paying for the biggest engine.
KingQuad 500AXi against the 750AXi and Sportsman 570
Suzuki's KingQuad 750AXi shares the chassis, and Polaris's Sportsman 570 is a popular rival.
TimeForWheels says the 493cc engine provides enough torque for work tasks without excessive power that might overwhelm novice riders, that its focus on rider comfort with a purpose-built engine makes it a practical, user-friendly choice for those who need a reliable utility vehicle without the complexity or cost of higher-end models, and that the asking price aligns well with market expectations given standard power steering. Its 2025 page says the suspension and brake set-up strike a practical balance between comfort and control, that riders who need enhanced control and comfort will find significant upgrades over base models, and that the machine is built for a variety of chores with manageable size and weight.

The power-steering 500 is its own specification
This comparison concerns the 500AXi power-steering configuration, so a cheaper advertisement for another trim needs an equipment check. The engine is a 493cc liquid-cooled single with an SOHC head. Do not substitute service parts or settings from the 722cc DOHC version simply because the two KingQuads share a similar body and several chassis dimensions.
The listed $10,029 is the starting figure for the configuration described here. If another offer differs, establish the model year, steering equipment, included accessories and delivery charges before concluding one seller is cheaper. A low payment can also conceal a different term or down payment, so ask for the cash price.
At a 36.2-inch seat and 50.6-inch wheelbase, the fitting question is similar in scale to the larger KingQuad, but it still belongs to the rider and actual machine. Inspect the power-steering operation and warning indication according to the manual. A seller's claim that steering feels light does not establish that the system is functioning correctly through its intended range.
