We’ve been following the buzz all month long and it looks pretty official: Arctic Cat will be rolling out the Wildcat 4 1000 in February 2013 to offer riders a larger side by side with capacity for four.

This change is a part of what’s happening in the industry right now. In a nutshell, more UTV makers are making four-seaters because there’s a demand for more seats, larger capacity. Hey, we riders like to bring along a few friends, right?

Anyways, the Wildcat 4 1000 will include a five-link rear suspension (with 13 inches of ground clearance and 18 inches of rear suspension travel), a 951cc V-Twin engine, a full perimeter exoskeleton that looks simply awesome, Variable Assist Electronic Steering, automatic transmission (reverse, neutral, high and low gears, and 2wd/4wd differential lock switch on dash), three point seat belts, bucket seats, and all of the other features about the Wildcat you already love.
