Textron Inc. announced on January 21 2026 that its E‑Z‑GO subsidiary will introduce the all‑new E‑Z‑GO Liberty for the 2027 model year, with dealer availability slated for the summer of 2026.
The Liberty is a compact electric vehicle designed for golf courses and neighborhood use, and it is available in a street‑legal low‑speed vehicle (LSV) configuration that meets federal standards. The vehicle features a 10‑inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 28‑inch soundbar with LED lighting, positioning it as a more automotive‑style experience than typical golf carts.
Powering the Liberty is a next‑generation Samsung SDI lithium battery that delivers a longer range and faster charging than previous E‑Z‑GO models, and the company offers an eight‑year battery warranty. The vehicle also incorporates IntelliScreen technology, which displays diagnostics and allows drivers to tune performance settings, and IntelliBrake, a controlled hill‑descent braking system that enhances safety on uneven terrain.
The launch expands E‑Z‑GO’s product line beyond its existing RXV and Express models, reinforcing Textron’s strategy of leveraging its diverse brand portfolio to capture a broader share of the personal electric vehicle market. While the new model is not expected to shift group‑level numbers in the short term, it signals Textron’s continued investment in innovation across its segments and its intent to compete with rivals such as Club Car, Yamaha, and Evolution EV by offering advanced connectivity and battery technology in a compact footprint.
Textron’s broader financial context provides additional perspective: the company reported Q2 2025 results with an adjusted EPS of $1.55, up from $1.54, and revenue of $3.7 billion, a 5.4% year‑over‑year increase. The upcoming Q4 2025 earnings release, scheduled for January 28 2026, will offer further insight into the company’s performance as it continues to diversify its product portfolio.
Overall, the 2027 Liberty launch represents a strategic step for Textron’s E‑Z‑GO brand, combining advanced battery technology, connectivity, and safety features to broaden its appeal beyond traditional golf cart customers and strengthen its position in the growing personal electric vehicle market.
