KTM Unveils X‑Bow Arrow UTV With Up to 330‑HP Audi 2.0‑L Engine

KTM says the two-seat off-road vehicle pairs a Volkswagen‑Audi EA888 2.0‑liter turbo with a seven‑speed dual‑clutch to offer sports‑car power in a purpose‑built side-by-side for premium buyers.

Overview

  • KTM publicly launched the X‑Bow Arrow on November 10, 2026, announcing a two-seat, high‑performance side‑by‑side that extends the X‑Bow family into the UTV market.
  • The Arrow uses the Volkswagen/Audi EA888 2.0‑liter turbo four‑cylinder and a seven‑speed dual‑clutch transmission, offered in a 280 hp base tune and a 330 hp Arrow Black Limited Edition.
  • KTM will sell two trims: a standard Arrow priced around $60,000 and an Arrow Black Limited Edition priced about $98,600 with a global run capped at 500 numbered units.
  • Both versions emphasize heavy‑duty off‑road hardware — about 600 mm (23.6 in) of wheel travel, KW Reiger‑spec dampers, Maxxis tires, selectable 4WD and a DSG low‑range — while KTM says it will seek limited road‑use compliance under applicable rules.
  • The company has published specs and pricing but has not yet released independent test results, final homologation or a firm delivery schedule, leaving questions about registration, insurance and real‑world performance.
