This is the eight seat sightseeing vehicle: 3.7 m long, carrying a stated 1000 kg, with four wheel hydraulic brakes and an 87 km range.

About the 8 Seater Sightseeing Buggy

Eight seats, the same 87 km range as the four seater, and double the load rating at 1000 kg. The motor steps up from 4 kW to 5 kW and the steering changes to recirculating ball, which is the arrangement used on heavier vehicles.

At 3.7 m on a 2.6 m wheelbase it turns in 6 m. That is the figure that decides it: this is a vehicle for drives, service roads and wide garden paths rather than anywhere it has to thread.

Where eight sightseeing seats earn their keep

  • Attractions and estates running scheduled tours for a full party
  • Holiday parks moving guests between reception and accommodation
  • Gardens and heritage sites where the tour is the product
  • Sites replacing two trips in a smaller vehicle with one

What it will not do

  • It turns in 6 m and is 3.7 m long. Walk the route before ordering: this is where the sightseeing line stops fitting through gaps.
  • The 1000 kg loading figure is the vehicle's rating, not a luggage allowance. Eight adults is roughly two thirds of it.
  • Ground clearance is 150 mm on road tyres, so made surfaces only.
  • Open sided under a hard roof, with no heating, like the rest of the line.

Specifications are the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model. Range and climbing figures are measured in level, unladen conditions, so treat them as the ceiling rather than the number to plan a hilly site around.

Price and ordering

As a rule, buying wins if you would use it more than a few weeks a year or need it available without arranging anything. Below that, hiring usually costs less and takes the maintenance off you. The calculator works it through on your own numbers rather than ours.

The battery, the wheels and the options change the figure enough that a headline price would be wrong for most buyers, so we price the vehicle you actually want, delivery included.

Questions about the 8 Seater Sightseeing Buggy

How far will it go on a charge?
87 km loaded, about 54 miles, which is the same figure the four seater carries despite the extra weight. It runs the same battery set on a larger motor.
Is it big enough to need a special licence?
Not on private land, which is where it belongs: it is not road legal. Sites usually set their own rule about who may drive, and with eight passengers aboard that is worth writing down.
How tight will it turn?
6 m, on a 3.7 m body. That is the figure to measure your route against, because it is the first thing that stops this vehicle working somewhere.
How much does it cost?
We price to specification rather than publish a figure. Tell us the route and the party size and we will quote the vehicle, the delivery and the lead time together.
