2026 ICON i40X Golf Cart Review

The 2026 Icon i40X is a 4-seat electric golf cart designed for buyers who want the sweet spot: more seating and flexibility than a 2-passenger cart, but more compact and easier to live with than a 6-seater.

It’s especially popular for neighborhoods, lake communities, RV parks, and resort areas where people want a cart that feels modern, looks sharp, and includes the key street-ready features without the price of a fully custom build.

The i40X also benefits from the fact that 4-seat carts tend to feel quicker and more efficient than comparable 6-seat models, since they’re carrying less weight most of the time.

Highlights (2026)

4-seat “X” package with modern styling and upgraded trim
Lithium battery setups are now standard in most dealer inventory
Digital dash + LED lighting package on most builds
Rear flip seat for passenger + cargo flexibility
Strong value compared to traditional cart brands

👍 Pros

Great all-around size: 4 seats without bulky length
Lithium power means low maintenance and strong efficiency
Smooth acceleration and quiet operation
Flip rear seat adds real utility for errands and gear
Strong feature list for the price

👎 Cons

Dealer build quality and included options vary a lot
Some configurations have smaller batteries than buyers expect
Resale is more dealer-dependent than Club Car/Yamaha
Not as deep of an aftermarket ecosystem as the “big 3”

Pricing

Trim / Configuration	MSRP*	Fair Deal Estimate
i40X (standard lithium build)	$12,995	$11,700 – $13,800

i60L Golf Cart Rating

Interior & Seating

The i40X has a simple but modern interior layout. Most builds include upgraded seats with weather-resistant vinyl, comfortable padding, and a clean dash layout.

The rear seat is a major advantage: it’s useful for passengers, but it also flips into a cargo deck, making the i40X far more practical than most “pure passenger” carts.

For daily neighborhood driving, the seating comfort is above average in its price class.

Technology & Instrumentation

Most 2026 i40X carts come with a digital dash that displays speed and battery state-of-charge. You’ll typically also get USB ports and LED lighting.

The main limitation is that Icon’s technology packages are often dealer-configured, so you’ll see variation in:

speaker quality
touchscreen availability
backup camera inclusion
accessory wiring cleanliness

Convenience & Utility

The i40X is a great “do everything” cart. It’s small enough to park easily, but still capable of:

hauling groceries
carrying beach gear
moving tools around a property
transporting family members

The flip rear seat is what makes it feel like a real lifestyle cart rather than just a golf-course cruiser.

LSV Specs

Many i40X builds can be sold as street legal depending on local laws. Typical LSV-required equipment includes:

seat belts
windshield
mirrors
DOT tires
turn signals
horn
reflectors
VIN / registration paperwork

Overall Rating

The 2026 Icon i40X is one of the best value picks in the 4-seat electric cart category. It combines modern styling, lithium efficiency, and practical seating with a feature list that competes well against more expensive brands.

If you want a 4-seater for neighborhoods, RV parks, resorts, or lake communities — and you don’t want to pay “big 3” pricing — the i40X is a strong option.
