New Yamaha golf carts today are offered in several different model types and different specification level within each model. This means it can be difficult to understand which one might make the most sense for you to buy. And when you include all the former production models Yamaha has made over the years, it can be even tougher to find a simple list of all Yamaha golf cart models by year online (even on the Yamaha Golf Car Company website).
Well have no worries! We've got your back on what Yamaha currently offers in 2025, and an outline of all past Yamaha Golf Cart Models right below! If you're instead trying to figure out the year and model of your current Yamaha Cart, please read our helpful serial number locator and model identifier article: What Year is my Yamaha Golf Cart?
Current 2025 Yamaha Golf Cart Models Lineup
For the 2025 model year, Yamaha offers three distinct golf cart model ranges:
- The Drive-2 (including Drive2 Fleet, PTV and Adventurer series)
- The UMAX (including Rally, Bistro and Range Picker series)
- The Pilot Car
One major new introduction to highlight on the list above for Yamaha is their all new Luxury Street Legal Series Pilot Car. These carts are produced in Turkey and are new to the market for 2025 and beyond. We had the chance to inspect them at the PGA show back in Janurary and can confirm that Yamaha has done-it-again with their all new premium line of luxury Pilot Car carts!
There are several different specifications of each Yamaha Cart Model type mentioned above, depending on the price point and use type you are looking for. The Drive-2 PTV is the consumer cart, made for the golf course, neighborhood and more. The UMAX models are primarily a Utility Golf Cart used commercially at resorts, other venues, or farms. The all new Pilot Car is a luxury street-legal offering to be used mainly around town and on the golf course as well. To skip to any model section, just click one of the buttons below.
