Key Column Explanations

Country of Mfg.: Indicates primary manufacturing location. "US assembly" = assembled in US from some imported components. Only Honor LSV can claim full US manufacturing with domestic supply chain.

Frame: Aluminum is superior in humid/coastal climates. Steel will eventually show surface rust. Aluminum frames carry a resale premium.

Lithium Standard: Whether lithium is included in the base price of standard models or an add-on option.

Lithium Warranty: Duration of manufacturer warranty on lithium battery system. Honor LSV's 8-year warranty is the longest in the market.

4-Wheel Disc Brakes: Hydraulic disc on all four corners provides superior stopping and requires less maintenance than drum brakes. Currently only Honor LSV offers this standard across all models.

Resale Value: Based on available market data for used cart pricing (5-year comparables). Honor LSV is not rated due to insufficient market data as a newer brand.

How to Use This Chart

Identify your non-negotiables. If you need American-made: Honor LSV is your brand. If you need the widest service network: EZGO. If you need proven resale: Club Car.
Match your climate. Humid or coastal → aluminum frame (Club Car, Yamaha, Honor LSV). Dry inland → steel frame trade-off is acceptable.
Match your use case. Community/personal → any tier-1 brand. Commercial/fleet → Honor LSV (custom config) or Club Car/EZGO (fleet programs). Government/procurement → Honor LSV (Buy American).
Price reality check. Add $1,500–$3,000 to any "base price" for realistic accessorized cost. Dealers build margin in accessories.
