Z4 vs R2 vs Z2: Which Road Legal Buggy Is Right for You?

The right road legal golf buggy comes down to two questions: how many seats you need and which features matter to you. If you need four seats, the Z4 (€16,995) is the choice. If two seats are enough, choose between the Z2 (€11,995) and the R2 (€13,995): they share the same 48V lithium battery, 40 km/h top speed and 60–80 km driving range, and the R2 adds a larger integrated screen, keyless entry, automatic lighting and selectable drive modes.

Below, we compare all three side by side using the official specifications, and explain exactly what the extra €2,000 gets you with the R2. You can also download the full spec sheets on our spec sheets page.

What do the Z2 and R2 have in common?

The Z2 and R2 share the same core platform, so both give you the same performance and practicality:

• Battery: 48V LFP (lithium iron phosphate), 105 Ah
• Performance: 40 km/h maximum speed, 60–80 km driving range, 15% gradeability, 5 m braking distance (unloaded)
• Suspension and brakes: front independent and rear integral suspension; front hydraulic and rear drum brakes
• Wheels: 215/35-12 (8P) tyres on alloy wheels
• Size: 2,370 × 1,210 × 1,950 mm (L × W × H), 1,695 mm wheelbase, 115 mm minimum ground clearance, 455 kg kerb weight
• Comfort and safety: glass windscreen with electric wiper, adjustable armrests and headrests, 3-point safety belts
• Tech: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, integrated speakers and a reversing camera
• Certification: road legal (EEC)

What does the R2 add over the Z2?

For €2,000 more than the Z2, the R2 (€13,995) adds four upgrades:

1. Integrated 9.7" LCD screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, for maps, music and calls.
2. NFC keyless entry, so there is no traditional key to carry.
3. Automatic LED headlights and indicators with daytime running and ambient light functions.
4. Eco and Sport drive modes, letting you choose between efficiency and a livelier response.

Choose the R2 if you want the most premium two-seat experience, use navigation and music a lot, or drive often in the evening and like automatic lighting.

Is the Z2 enough?

For many buyers, yes. The Z2 (€11,995) has the same battery, speed, range, suspension, brakes and safety equipment as the R2, plus CarPlay and Android Auto, speakers and a reversing camera. Choose the Z2 if you want the essentials done well at the lowest price for a road legal buggy.

When should you choose the Z4?

Choose the Z4 (€16,995) if you regularly carry more than one passenger. As our four-seat road legal model, it suits families, golf four-balls and anyone who hosts guests. Both two-seaters seat two including the driver, so if you often travel as three or four, the Z4 is the only road legal option in our range.

What does 60–80 km of range mean in real life?

A 60–80 km range covers most local routines comfortably. Typical trips such as the supermarket, the beach, the golf club and dinner in town are often only a few kilometres each way, so many owners can drive for several days of local trips between charges. Real-world range varies with hills, passengers, speed and temperature; the Z2 and R2 have 15% gradeability for typical Spanish slopes.

What is included with every road legal buggy?

Every road legal golf buggy we sell includes number plates and registration in the price. We complete registration within 15 days of receiving all the correct information from you.

Which colour should you choose?

All three models come in 9 body colours (White, Black, Metallic Gray, Silver, Deep Red, Sea Blue, Sky Blue, Gold and Metallic Blue) with Black or Brown upholstery. White or Silver keep a clean look in strong sun; Black or Metallic Gray look sleek and modern; Gold, Deep Red and the blues make a statement.

How do you decide in three steps?

1. Seats: need more than two? Choose the Z4. Two is enough? Go to step 2.
2. Features: want the 9.7" screen, keyless entry, automatic lights and drive modes? Choose the R2. The essentials are enough? Choose the Z2.
3. Colours: pick your body colour and upholstery on the product page.
