Nikola expects to have four models available of the NZT, each named for its corresponding kilowatt output: the NZT 440 (590 hp), NZT 352 (472 hp), NZT 280 (375 hp), and the base model NZT 198 (266 hp).

The four-seater UTV doesn’t need air to operate, so it can handle muddy crossings. Starting from a full battery charge, Nikola says it can travel between 90 to 150 miles. The NZT models come with Fox Podium shocks that each have 20-inches of travel, and a military-grade steel roll cage provides protection. Every Nikola NZT comes standard with a IP68 waterproof 7-inch instrument cluster and a 12.2-inch infotainment display.

Nikola also had its Reckless military edition of the electric all-terrain vehicle on display at the Sand Sports Super Show.

More information, and possibly the final production version, will be released at the Nikola World event, scheduled for April 16-18, 2019 in Phoenix.
