ALL-ELECTRIC VOLCON STAGG REVEALED! | New model showroom | News | Technology | Vehicles
American-based Volcon have gone big with their first big vehicle launch, the Stagg, priced at USD $39,990 MSRP.
Never heard of Volcon? Don’t worry, you’re not alone, they’re a new player in the SXS market and they’ve come out with a bang . With a claimed 125hp and 265 lb-ft of torque, the Volcon Stag comes with optional paddle shifters and an overboost mode that takes the Stag’s electric power plant to an output exceeding 140hp. There’s no word if it will be coming to Australia.
Selectable driving modes re designed to improve performance and range according to the driver’s needs. ECO mode will maximize range with smooth power delivery, while Sport mode will provide a more aggressive throttle response for quicker acceleration. In Tow mode, the vehicle’s maximum speed will be restricted to build torque progressively for more control while pulling a trailer or other towable accessory. The Stag’s 7.2 kW onboard charger will allow the vehicle to be charged in less than 6 hours when using Level 2 charging.
The 4WD system, activated on-demand, will enhance the Stag’s off-road capability in any terrain by automatically engaging the front wheels whenever the rear wheels lose traction and by managing the power distribution between wheels assuring better stability when cornering. Something to rival Polaris True On-Demand 4WD. Additionally, Crawl mode will allow the vehicle to move slowly without using the throttle so the driver can manage the speed just by using the brakes.
The Stag’s driver-centric cockpit is developed with two innovative displays that Volcon claim delivers excellent human-machine integration.
Sharing the user experience will be made easier by capturing and creating content with two built-in cameras and additional cameras planned to be available as accessories in the future. The Stag will come with onboard computing hardware to process video clips of the action and a special rail for additional camera mounts. Its unique features make it easy for the driver to interact with friends and community in real-time with access to social media and other sharing platforms using the Volcon App and a Sim Card (where cell service is available, based on the user’s cellular service plan and coverage).
The main dashboard will display essential information such as speed, battery charge, driving mode, brake regeneration, and energy consumption, while the large central display will be equipped with camera view, a route planner, off-road gauges, device connectivity (where cell service is available, based on the user’s cellular service plan and coverage), and info about the vehicle status, providing details for both rider and passengers.
The Stag’s cockpit, rear seating, and cargo area are designed to accommodate up to four people and their gear. For additional cargo space, the rear seats fold down to expand the cargo space to over 26 cu ft. With 1,550 lbs of payload and 2,000 lbs of max towing capacity (with towing mode selected).
The Stag’s suspension will include fully adjustable shocks. The batteries and motor position contribute to a low center of gravity.
BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3® tires come standard and are designed to enhance electric UTV vehicle performance.
A complete line of accessories will be available to build a machine that fits a wide variety of user needs, including half and full windshields, hard storage, soft storage, winch mounting, front bumper options, sound systems, and additional lighting.
