The Evolution D5 Maverick: A Golf Cart Game Changer? - Test Drive and Review

True story:
3 of my neighbors have recently sold their
practically-new Icon golf carts, at a loss,
and each bought one of these Evolution D5 Maverick’s.
Today I get to inspect
and test drive this vehicle
and learn the exact reasons WHY
so many are making the switch.
Thank you Cody Johnson and Guild Golf Carts for the white-glove experience.

I live in the villages Fl. The D5 Ranger cart has become very popular. 2 things keep me from pulling the trigger, discontinued 205ah battery, speculation is when they dropped the price $2,000-3000 they decided to not offer the 205ah to save $$$. 2nd problem is the all black seats, they get scorching hot. Why you can't change out seat is beyond me. All the seats have the same cost no matter which color you choose, so why not make customers happy and put the color seats they want in the cart. I guess you get what you pay for.

[@johnswonger-swonkykong2817]

We bought the D5 Maverick and after having it the last 9 months we regret buying it. Let me say first and foremost that we live at the beach so this cart was purchased with that in mind. We live less than 2 miles from the sand/beach entrance. So taking that in, cruising for around 25 miles for half a day and the cart is already at 12% battery left. Needless to say this cart isn't built for the sand as I'm sure most if not all electric carts suck in the sand, especially soft sand.. All we can do is hope that the sand is harder most days than not. We've had the sound bar replaced (not the end of the world-warranty), ignition switch and wiring replaced and the charging cord completely melt to an extension cord (most recently). The electric display has cool features but most you'll never use, like the movie, music and FM radio functions. We bought this brand new when they first came out. No wonder it's $3k less now than previous years. Hindsight we'd have gotten a gas cart. Yes we understand that not all Evolution performs this way but I can assure you that in the sand, they all do perform poorly. We're not talking sand dunes either.

[@customerservice5350]

Bought a D5 Maverick 6 seater so my kids aren’t dangling out the back. All forward facing and safer. Thanks for the video!

[@Texas_G_Longhorns]

We bought the Maverick to cruise around our neighborhood drop the kids off in the elementary school that is in the community and pick up fast food that's within our golf coarse community lol. We love it

[@DarrylBuffkin]

Does the rear of the back soundbar have a brake light ? I’ve seen them pass my home and it’s on red all the way across? That wouldn’t be a brake light but running light- haven’t seen one stop and wondered if they got brighter when brakes are applied?✋

[@Texas_G_Longhorns]

@@DarrylBuffkin they do, if you have the LED on red it does blend in though

[@DarrylBuffkin]

@@Texas_G_Longhorns thanks 👋🏼

Just ordered our 2 plus 2 Maverick D5 yesterday 🎉❤ Leaving EZ Go lead acid for it! Wanted the Mav 4 but for my use around house with gardening, I love the tailgate with cooler feature and those super comfy deep back seats with seatbelts and upgraded footrest make me feel comfortable with my guest on back. Cant WAIT🎉🎉🎉

[@user-ex1my3fc9e]

Just sold my 2019 onward club cart bought the D5 maverick 4 and love it.

[@BrianKGillman]

Congratulations. I'm working on trading in my ICON for a D5

[@Matsurigatzu]

Great video, Brian! Thank you!

[@BrianKGillman]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

[@jlclagg]

Brian, Can the D5 use a public charging station?

[@BrianKGillman]

I believe so. I don't have mine yet, but my neighbors plug theirs into 110 outlet in garage.

[@rdk3996]

Enjoyed the video, except maybe the ‘visibility’ comment….

[@jeremyroeder151]

Hi there I am looking at a D5 from a company in TN. I spoke to them this morning on price and came to 9,500. The sales rep also stated that it comes stock at 19mph and can have it turned up for me to go 25 mph for an additional 300.00. Your video states that they come stock at 25. Am i getting scammed?

[@peaches_86]

Yeah you’re getting scammed. It literally takes your dealer 2 minutes to change the speed parameters on your controller lol

[@Golfcartsreview]

That's wild, we bump them to 25 mph for free. For $99 we bump them to 30mph.

[@ImJohnR]

I have one and I love it. Couldn’t be happier with my D5 Maverick!

[@BrianKGillman]

That's awesome. I don't have mine yet, but I am one day closer to getting rid of my Icon and getting a Maverick D5.

[@user-ex1my3fc9e]

Just sold my 2019 onward club cart and bought the D5 maverick 4 and love it.

[@quinnjim]

Why did Evolution suddenly drop their prices by $3,000??? If they are so great, why are they having to slash prices? Serious question.

[@BrianKGillman]

Not sure. I know more and more people are buying where I live.

[@shanemenke5452]

The electric vehicle push

[@roadrnnr2008]

because a competitor showed on the market 2400 lessso they repriced to match

[@amybeth1554]

Remove this question remove this question. I don’t care why it’s what I want.❤❤

[@ToddTaylorTexas]

Hey Brian! Nicely produced video. I was curious about how you get the top speed up to 30mph? Could you ask your Representative in the video how we can do that please. We’re currently looking to purchase. Thanks! 👍

[@BrianKGillman]

Hi Todd, Thank you. I will reach out to my contact and let you know.

[@peaches_86]

You have to have the program for the controller and their data transfer cable from evolution in order to program it. Check your local dealer! 👍🏽

[@nik-nj3qw]

Considering getting one. I’ve heard many people online complain that these are poorly made and that finding replacement parts is a nightmare. The recommendation is to go with EZ go or club cart. What do you think?

[@BrianKGillman]

I've heard many replacement parts for all of the cart manufacturer's can be difficult at times. Let me know which cart you end up going with. I believe carts perform differently in different climates. We have to be careful here in Vegas during the summer due to the heat. Find a cart that will perform the best where you live.

[@johnparisi.2097]

I am in new jersey shopping for a cart now. And I think i'm sold on the maverick. Very fortunate to have a dealer about fifteen miles away.

[@BrianKGillman]

Nice. Thanks for watching. I don't have mine yet, but very soon. My neighbors are very happy making the switch from Icon to the Maverick.

6,000 is what the dealers are buying them for something to think about and there not even worth 6,000 cuz everything about them is cheap so when u want trade in or resale it how you think there going to give if there getting them for 6,000 and good luck on there battery’s n parts

I am in So Cal but want for my Parker AZ place. Where is best place and price to buy?

Hello Mike and thanks for watching. I contacted my guy here in Vegas and he mentioned there is a Lake Havasu location which is the closest to Parker. I hope they can help you. Brian

[@mikeperry1441]

@@BrianKGillman Thanks. I will google it. I know of a golf cart place there but not sure if they carry the Evolution carts. Will find out.

[@tylorperry2324]

Any possible way to increase the speed to 30mph?

[@Golfcartsreview]

Yes, we do that here at Beachside Golf Cars Miami.

[@raymondcote2913]

I just watched a video where he says these only get 15 miles per charge. Is this true?

[@Golfcartsreview]

Not at all, 25-30 miles.

[@Funky4me21]

Be nice if they had GPS ability!

[@BrianKGillman]

I agree. I wonder if there is an after-market option.

[@Richg468]

25 mile range is horrible, for lithium batteries

[@67tamustang83]

There are too many variables to give an exact range. I have seen 25 to 43 miles on on charge in a new D5 Ranger.

[@emadisrafil2912]

Price how much

[@BrianKGillman]

The are currently priced at $12,995 (We talk about price at 11:55 in the video).

[@patriotone755]

Where are these made? Country of origin?

[@Esoxfan]

China

[@robertgregory415]

25 mile range will not work for many people.

Have not had any issues here at Lake Las Vegas with the 25 mile range being an issue. Thanks for watching and commenting. Brian

@@marylafontaine3345 I have not switched yet (will be very soon) from my Icon to this Maverick D5. Since this video, I've had more friends and neighbors buy either the Maverick or Ranger. So far, I have not heard any negatives. Let me know what you end up buying.

[@georgevozniak2864]

Agreed, however you an always upgrade the battery. My neighbor upgraded his and it gets around 50-60 miles per charge.
