Is The Evolution D5 Golf Cart Worth All The Hype!? My Honest Review!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Is the all new Evolution D5 Worth All The Hype!?
Let's figure out together as we kick off our new KZread series, Golf Cart Reviews & Walkthroughs!
🚗 Models:
Meet the 4-Passenger D5 Ranger, available as a 4 and 6 passenger. Evolution also makes the Maverick which is the Lifted version which has all terrain tires, a Brushguard, and running board steps!
🤩 Why Having 4 Forward Facing Seats Is A Game-Changer:
- Preference: People don't like to face backwards while riding on golf carts!
- Weight Distribution: A traditional 4 pass golf cart centers all passenger's weight right on top of the rear axle so you feel everything the axle feels!
- Weight Distribution: A Traditional 4 pass golf cart has a backseat that is slightly behind the rear axle so it's essentially a teeter totter on wheels so the more weight on the backseat, the less your front tires grip the road, which in return, makes the golf cart harder to control.
- Less Body Roll: Since all 4 passengers aren't centralized in one place on the cart, the cart doesn't have nearly as much body roll while taking turns.
- Safety: All 4 passengers are within the chassis of the cart so if the cart is rear ended by a car, the rear passengers are protected by bumper and rear struts versus sitting on the backside of the cart, completely prone to being hit.
Safety: Considering all of the bullet points above, this cart is much easier to control and way harder to flip, making it much more safe for the driver and passengers!
❤️ Things I Love:
- Smooth Driving Experience and all of the points I made above
- Turning Radius: Impressive maneuverability for easy navigation.
- Aesthetics: All new body design that looks aggressive and sleek at the same time
- Cushions: Well-built armrests and spacious legroom with high-end vinyl
- The touchscreen with updated software!
- Self-canceling turn signals
- Vents int he windshield to help air the cart out
- Automotive inspired headlights and tail lights
- The daytime running lights
- 14" Aluminum rims with Steel Belted Radial Tires (Extra soft and durable)
- The RGB LED Soundbar!
- Rear Storage Trunk
- The ease of adding golf bags
- And much much more!
💔 Things I Don't Love:
- Odd Brake Fluid Placement: Not ideal on the dashboard.
- Push-to-Start Risk: Sometimes finicky and less reliable than a simple switch.
- Audio Quirks: Lack of speakers for the driver and front passenger; we've got a solution, though!
- Hinges vs. Sliding Seats: Prone to scratch the body when removing seats
- Cupholder Design: Liquid leakage concerns into dash and on electronics.
- Battery Capacity: A larger base battery could offer more range per charge.
- Windshield Vents: May cause slight rattling during driving.
🤔 Overall Thoughts:
- Trendsetting Design: The forward-facing concept is the future of golf carts.
- Evolution's Triumph: D5 excels in looks, comfort, speed, build quality, and clever fixes.
- Sound System Upgrade: We'll provide a plug-n-play solution for better audio.
- Minor Hiccups: A couple of details, but not deal-breakers for prospective buyers.
- Smooth Ride: The 4 forward facing design & 7ft wheelbase ensures an outstanding driving experience.
In conclusion, Evolution hit it out of the park with the D5. A great choice for any golf cart enthusiast! 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️🚗

    I have had 4 Golf carts with Icon being my last one. The D5 maverick is hands down the best overall for features and price. The ride was amazing and the handling felt very nimble and we couldn't be more pleased. Thank You for a great detailed review. I have watched your other videos and when your sub and 4 speaker system is available, I will be first in line.

    Just purchased the D5 Ranger in light blue. After shopping around to so many different brands and carts, we felt we got the best deal. To add all of the different features this cart would have cost us an arm and a leg. We were able to get everything we wanted plus more for a great price of 10,995. This also included a front grill and step up on all sides, LED lights on top and bottom, and additional warranty.

    This video was very helpful, thanks. I had just ordered the D5 ranger 2+2, but changed my order to the ranger 4 based on your comments. I appreciated the insights about the lower center of gravity, better weight distribution between axles, less roll, and overall smoother ride for the driver/owner (that’s me). You convinced me to order the ranger 4 instead. Delivery in a week or 2, and I can’t wait!

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by swap seat/body colors, because you can definitely swap the cushions from one D5 to another, we've done it for multiple customers. And as for the rain enclosure, I'm sure one will come out sooner than later! My guess Red Dot, who's owned by Nivel, will make one first!

    Hey Thom! Thanks for watching and commenting. 1. We can swap cushions around yes but if you'd also rather go the aftermarket route we can order Lazylife cushion covers in for your D5! They provide a ton of color options, stitching, pattern options to! 2. We are currently working on a 2" receiver as well as a cooler carrier that will sit behind the cargo area (so you can have cooler and the cargo box at the same time). The cooler will slide right out of the receiver. 3. Yes we ship nationwide and regularly ship D5s around the country to customers!

    2 other issues. You will get error codes and there’s nothing provided that tells you what they mean. There is a Facebook users group that may have a list. Can’t send links here. Also the cart shuts off after 15 minutes if it sits idle. There is no fix to this. So if you and are listening to music you’ll have to turn it back on and reconnect your Bluetooth device. So not sure why there’s a movie functionality on it.

Here, 4 and 6 seat carts now must be street legal licensed LSV's. Many current owners are removing their backseats

I ask this because the D5 6 seater is too long to fit in our 5th wheel toy hauler garage. I’ve checked out the forester 6 plus with rear facing third row but much prefer the D5 looks/features.

As far as the rear seat is concerned, I'm sure something could be fabricated but I'm not sure how balanced the D5 would be with a rear seat sitting way off the rear axle. Doing so could make the D5 very tip prone. Now I don't know that for sure, but it's just an educated guess.

    Great review. I can get by with the small negatives. My beef is the actual sound bar. The sound sucks, even when I use a usb and the songs are flac quality. Right now sounds like a car from the 70's with cheap dash speakers listening to an AM station. I understand, how often will I really be using the sound system, but for a golf cart with so many great features, put a bose sound bar on it that at least gives you some decent bass sound to it. Not what it is offering now.

I’m in North Carolina and trying to dig up info on why I would NOT want an Evolution. So far, I can’t find anything bad. No real bad reviews anywhere. I would prefer a 210/220 option on the battery, however, I think the 110 will suffice for where I live. I appreciate the review! If you were closer, I’d buy one from you. My local dealer has black only. Black on black or black seat and the grey/black color. BLAH.

For a dealer, like us that sells Club Car all the way down to Evolution, our conversation would be way different. Nevertheless, the most important aspect to base your decision off of is the dealer. Yes the manufacturer is important, but the dealer can make or brake the experience you have with the golf cart you buy.

    Q: does it have the wiring for the speakers in the dash? The steering wheel has a straight bar on the bottom, what's that function? You didn't mention a steel frame, future rust! They should offer an adjustable front seat because 90%+ you'll drive around w/o back seat passengers, utilize that room to increase leg room for the front passengers. One of the colors they should have for the sound bar is black, sometimes you don't want all that light in your cart at night...or of course, just turn off the sound-bar colors if that's possible. Where is the place to put my cell phone? I mean a specific place, not a..."ahh, you could use this storage area." A bigger battery would also be nice, I agree. They need to increase their warranty too.

    It does not have speaker wiring but we're fixing that with a plug n play harness. I'm not sure what you mean by the steering wheel having a straight bar other than the steering wheel being flat on the bottom. Being flat on the bottom helps clearance for larger drivers. Yes the frame is steel so it could rust down the road but that depends on the weather conditions it experiences during the D5's lifetime. I agree, adjustable seats are nice but you have to remember that this cart is still considered a "budget golf cart", as they're throwing a lot at you for a low price. WAEV makes GEM Cars that have adjustable seats and if you wanted a Lithium Ion GEM with audio, you'd be well over $30k. You can turn the soundbar lights off with the touchscreen. There's not a specific phone holder correct, when I'm driving D5s I just sit them in the cupholder or golf ball holder. Thank you for watching and the questions!

    Very simple. Because the bag holder will just mount where to the backrest, it won't mount where the storage trunk goes. So you could technically just leave the bag holder attached and remove the trunk whenever you want to take your clubs! We haven't designed our bag holder for the D5 yet but we will!

    25mph. And the D5 is just under 10ft long, with a wheel base of 7ft compared to a Club Cars 5.5ft, so you wouldn't be able to flip your tail gate up. You more than likely would not be able to even put the D5 in the bed of your truck even if you removed the tailgate. Not that's it's longer than a traditional 4 passenger golf cart, it's because the wheel base is much longer so the rear wheels would not rest on the bed like a traditional golf cart would.

    Well one thing that's hard to compare right off the bat is if it's "better" because some people like gas more than lithium and vice versa. So if you enjoy your 200 miles per tank of gas, then no lithium cart is going to feel "better" for you because the longest range of any lithium cart out there right now is around 80 miles (Atlas). But to answer your question. Yes the handling and smoothness is better on the D5 compared to a Gas 4 Pass Onward. Now is better than an 6 Pass Onward? No. Because the 6 pass Onward is very similar to the D5 length, wheelbase, etc. A 6 Pass Onward with the backseat removed would handle just as great as the D5.

But to answer your question, yes, there is now a solution for a bigger battery since I made this video! Evolution offers of a 205AH battery which can provide double the range (so up to 50sh miles) which is pretty significant in Lithium terms. They're still pretty new at the moment so you typically have to special order the D5 with the battery. Thank you again and ask away if you have any questions!

It would be relatively easy to put a shroud around it, but...why would I have to fix the poor engineering?? The cart I'm looking at was $10K a year ago, and now it's $7K (brand new). It's got me wondering why the prices have dropped 30% on the new ones. Really slick looking carts, but I definitely have some questions about them.

    I never recommend customers to leave their golf cart exposed to the weather without atleast having a cover on it because electronics might be weather resistant but they're not waterproof so the lifespan of the touchscreen, buttons, and other electronics would more than likely be shorter if left exposed to rain all summer long. We have quite a few customer with Evolutions that leave them uncovered at the campground all summer long and although you can tell it hurts the cart's cushions and paint, we seldom see that it messes with the electronics.

Are any of these criticisms legitimate?

    Well, there are a ton of variables at play and my answer drastically changes based on those variables. You could buy any golf cart brand from a dealer that sucks and you might struggle to get a part if you need it because your dealer might suck at getting parts lol. I believe the taboo talk about Evolution not providing parts to dealers was back during Covid when Evolution was growing extremely fast (they still are), but to speak from personal experience, we put parts orders and warranties in all the time and get most products within a couple weeks. Same goes for Club Car. But to answer your question, yes, you are buying a brand that's proven and reputable and has great manufacturing support if you buy from the Big 3. The fit and finish, dependability, and longevity of a Yamaha or Club Car is right at the top of the totem pole (there's a reason you still see 20-30 year old Yamahas and Club Cars being used at golf courses), because they can take a beating and they run like a top! Now, if you're not as concerned with knowing your cart will run for 30 years, and you're more interested in getting a better bang for your buck and buy a lesser expensive OEM with more options, than Evolution might be your answer!......I'll leave you with this. We wouldn't sell Evolution if it was not a reliable cart that made their owners happy, Evolution has been great for us, but that's also why we sell X series, and Atlas, and Club Car, and GEM, because all customers have different preferences and concerns!

    That is not the case with the other Evolution models. The output from the screen in previous models is an amplified speaker output.

However, we are still yet to dabble with the actual connection function of the D5, so we might find more info out once we do that.

    We sell Atlas to so I can honestly say that Atlas carts are more expensive because they have nicer features and have a bit better fit and finish (aluminum frame, battery size, quality of assembly) Comparing the D5 to an Atlas is a little apples to oranges right now because the D5 is a 4 forward facing unit, and Atlas is not. However, if Atlas makes a 4 forward facing model (word on the street, they are), and they're built the same way as their current carts, then I'd say that the Atlas is for the customer that is capable/willing to spend more money for a nicer vehicle. But if if you want the best bang for your buck, the D5 is for you. It's like comparing a Chevy to a Cadillac! Both are good, both there's a reason the Cadillac cost a lot more!

    Due to the long wheelbase, the D5 handles better than 99% of golf carts out there. Now part of that is because comparing a D5 with four forwarding facing seats is a totally different type of vehicle when compared to a traditional 4 passenger cart. I've driven every cart out there and in my opinion, the Atlas rides better than any golf cart built and that's saying something when they currently only build a traditional 4 passenger.
