DURABLE TRANSPORTATION THAT DELIVERS
The all-new Villager 8 is our most stylish and sophisticated transport vehicle yet.
We’ve updated one of our most popular vehicles with enhanced features and best-in-class maneuverability – allowing you to streamline your operation with comfortable, reliable transportation.
The new Villager 8 offers premium comfort and durability to move up to eight (8) passengers at a time. This vehicle is equipped with an updated automotive design and a spacious cabin, which provides a comfortable space for operators and ease of ingress/egress for those on board.
A long time classic on resorts, the Villager 8 moves up to eight passengers in a single trip and can replace expensive vans. Yet it also travels narrow areas not accessible to conventional vehicles.
(SUSTAINABLE) POWER THAT LASTS
Villager 8 now includes a powerful 14.0 HP Kohler gas engine for better efficiency and consistent performance, regardless of the application.
The vehicle is also available in quiet, zero-emissions electric models with optional extended-range batteries to keep the Villager 8 powered and moving all day. Smart onboard chargers with reel retractors prevent common user errors and let you charge at any 110-volt outlet. To further boost performance, upgrade your Villager with a 48V AC electric powertrain. AC provides increased performance, power and acceleration to keep your operations running smoothly.
A SAFE, SMOOTH RIDE FOR ALL
Safety and cleanability are made easy with Villager 8’s marine-grade vinyl seats, which can be quickly wiped down and maintained over time.
In this new model, safety-enhancing features such as industry-exclusive daytime running lamps, LED headlights, turn signals, tail/brake lights, a four-wheel braking system, and a horn ensure that your guests arrive safely.
Villager 8 is built to last on a rustproof aluminum frame that resists water, fertilizers, chemicals and salt. Fade- and impact-resistant ArmorFlex™ bodies help the vehicles retain their youthful appearance.
