Massimo Group Announces Plans to Introduce Sentinel 1500 UTV With Fully Enclosed Cab and Integrated HVAC in Q1 2026

GARLAND, Texas, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Massimo Group (NASDAQ: MAMO), a manufacturer and distributor of powersports and electric vehicles, today announced plans to introduce the Sentinel 1500, a next-generation utility task vehicle featuring a fully enclosed factory cab with integrated heating and air conditioning, in Q1 2026 as part of the company's Sentinel Series product roadmap.

The Sentinel 1500 is being developed as a fully enclosed, all-season vehicle, designed to support year-round operation across a wide range of climates while delivering enhanced performance, comfort, and reliability for work and recreational applications.

The Sentinel 1500 is expected to be introduced initially in a four-door crew configuration with seating for up to six passengers. Additional Sentinel 1500 variants are anticipated to follow later in 2026 as part of a phased product rollout.

Integrated HVAC System Developed In-House for All-Climate Performance

A key feature of the Sentinel 1500 is its Massimo-developed heating and air conditioning system, engineered to deliver strong cooling performance, high efficiency, and dependable heating. While Massimo is headquartered in Texas—where extreme heat conditions helped inform system design—the HVAC system is intended to provide consistent comfort and reliability for customers operating in diverse environments.

The HVAC system is being paired with Massimo's upcoming four-cylinder, 1499cc engine platform, which is under development to deliver the power and torque necessary to support both vehicle performance and the demands of a high-capacity climate-control system.

"As we look ahead to 2026, our product roadmap reflects the progress we have made strengthening our development and manufacturing foundation," said David Shan, Chief Executive Officer of Massimo Group. "We believe that the Sentinel 1500 represents a step forward in higher-value, engineering-driven product development, and as we continue to invest in advanced platforms, we are creating a pathway that may support greater manufacturing localization over time, including potential U.S.-based production, as market conditions allow."

Positioned for 2026 Following 2025 Operational Progress

The planned introduction of the Sentinel 1500 follows a year of focused execution during 2025, as Massimo implemented initiatives aimed at strengthening its operating foundation and supporting future product launches. These initiatives included:

• Expansion of production capabilities in Vietnam to enhance supply chain flexibility and mitigate tariff exposure
• Nearshoring and supplier diversification efforts to improve efficiency, lead times, and quality control
• Continued investment in engineering, manufacturing processes, and next-generation vehicle platforms

These actions are intended to support disciplined growth, improved execution, and long-term value creation as the company enters 2026.

Looking Ahead

The Sentinel 1500 remains under development, and additional information regarding specifications, features, and availability is expected to be provided closer to its planned introduction. The Sentinel Series is expected to play an important role in Massimo's 2026 product strategy as the company continues to prioritize innovation, quality, and responsible execution.
