Honda Pioneer 700-4 Deluxe specifications
Honda · Compact utility
Dirt Wheels says that if you want to pick up the pace, the 700-4 is willing, with decent power over a broad spread, an automatic transmission that almost reads your mind and suspension up to the task.
The write-up notes the engine is still a liquid-cooled overhead-valve 675cc single with a fully automatic transmission, now offered in four configurations including the base 700 and the 700-4 with room for up to four passengers, and that the 700's cabin is roomy enough for two average adults with decent cushioning and support.

Despite sharing the "Pioneer" name and both seating four or more, these are different platforms, not the same chassis with a smaller engine: Honda's own pages show a 675cc single with a torque-converter automatic here against the 1000-5's 999cc parallel-twin with a six-speed DCT, a 467-lb weight advantage (1,453 lb versus 1,920 lb), and a $6,400 lower price before either model's destination charge.
