It's RHD. I suspect they are testing the waters before they build a proper LHD model targeting the broader US consumer market.

There's already a market for off road use. They are far superior to SxS UTVs that are overpriced for what they deliver.

This is exploiting the existing LSV classification to bypass the chicken tax that limits the current market to old used imports. It will be easy enough to mod them for higher speeds on farms.
