Customer deliveries of the Vanderhall Brawley GTS have finally begun. I first reported on this two-door, four-seater, electric luxury UTV back in my coverage of SEMA 2023. It had already been in development for 2 years at that point, with production expected in early 2024.

　　The pricing target has stayed about the same, with the Brawley GTS starting at $49,950. Power targets have as well, with 404 horsepower and 488 pound-feet of torque on tap. But, the company fell quite short of the 200-mile range goals, with production units delivering an advertised 140 miles of range.

It’s the perfect blend between a desert runner and a rock crawler.”

The brand is best known for its three-wheeled autocycle roadsters. Think reverse trike — like a Polaris Slingshot, but much nicer. The autocycles are all federally classified as motorcycles in the U.S., so users are required to wear helmets and drivers must have a motorcycle endorsement on their license.

　　Founded in 2010, the company started offering production machines in 2016. Its based in Provo, Utah. The Brawley GTS is the companys first foray into electric vehicles and anything with off-road capability.

Off-road capability is achieved through impressive suspension, loads of ground clearance, 35-inch tires wrapped around 18-inch wheels, and a small, nimble chassis.

　　The Brawley GTSs electric drivetrain consists of a quad-motor setup and a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This configuration offers 404 horsepower, 488 pound-feet of torque, 140 miles of range, and intelligent AWD. It also has a regenerative braking system to help keep the batteries topped off and the brakes operating at maximum capability.

　　That is a lot of power in such a small machine! While the range number isnt all that impressive to look at, its actually more than enough for some big day-trip UTV adventures.

The fully enclosed cabin should also do a great job of keeping the dust and weather out, while the big upper and lower windows in the doors offer a great view of the world around you.

　　Of course, the Brawley GTS will be available with a variety of performance and drivability upgrades.

The closest UTV would have to be the Polaris XPEDITION, as it also offers an enclosed, climate-controlled cabin in a capable off-road package. However, it is gas-powered, loud, and much less refined for similar money.

　　(Photo/Vanderhall Motor Works) You can order a Vanderhall Brawley GTS right now, with distribution in select markets at the moment. Also note that its a UTV, so its not road legal in most states and intended for off-road use only.
