Evolution (often styled “EVolution”) has grown fast by packaging lithium power, automotive-style interiors, and tech-forward features. They are golf carts that feel more like mini EVs, a great way to kick your commuter car to the curb. Features include touchscreens with backup camera, Bluetooth audio, LED lighting, and USB charging. Let’s take a look at the options and pricing.
Golf Carts are veritably taking over the suburbs, with many supplanting cars per the Wall Street Journal. Evolution is one of the most value-packed manufacturers of golf carts sold in America.
The D5 family is Evolution’s showcase for “automobile-class” design—forward-facing seating, adjustable steering columns, and premium trim—backed by that lithium/AC drivetrain. The D5 Ranger 4 and 6 emphasize a refined, street-smart look with running boards and a rear storage trunk, while D5 Maverick variants lean more outdoorsy with brush guards and off-road cues. Inside, a multi-function touchscreen centralizes speed, gear selection, lighting, audio/Bluetooth, and the backup camera feed; an overhead soundbar, digital gauges, and LED lighting round it out. If you want the most “car-like” Evolution, start here. (D5 Series)
A recent spin on the Ranger theme, the D5 Ranger 4 PLUS adds smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto) to the 9-inch touchscreen and tucks speakers under the seats for a cleaner cabin. It keeps the same forward-facing four-seat layout, lithium power, and AC motor, while layering convenience touches (weather enclosure, golf bag holder) to pivot between neighborhood cruising and course duty.

Forester models are the lifted, adventure-ready Evolutions—higher stance, rugged bodywork, and off-road “silent” tires—yet they’re also set up for street use where permitted. The Forester 4 Plus, for example, is positioned for both “urban and wild spaces,” pairing its elevated chassis with the same lithium/AC powertrain and tech suite found across the lineup. Think neighborhood beach runs, camp trails, and outdoor chores without giving up LED lighting, touchscreen, and audio. (Forester 4 Plus)
If you want a more traditional golf silhouette with Evolution’s electronics, the Classic 4 Plus and siblings (2- and 4-seat, Pro/Plus trims) keep the lines simple but still layer in touches like a 9-inch touchscreen/stereo (on select trims), seat belts, LED headlights, and PPG finishes. It’s a clean, budget-friendly way to get lithium power and day-to-day comfort without the bolder styling of the D5 or Forester lines. (Classic 4 Plus)
Carrier models extend the “all-forward seating” concept to six and even eight passengers. The Carrier 6 Plus is pitched for family outings or hospitality shuttles, and the Carrier 8 Plus takes that up to eight seats, prioritizing easy ingress/egress and a smooth, quiet ride. For HOA communities, hotels, and campuses, these are the Evolutions that make crowd logistics simple while keeping the same lithium tech and cabin amenities. (Carrier 8 Plus)
