I have heard that there is a new RTV coming out for 2014. I don't know if it is a replacement or update for an existing model or a new addition to the lineup. Has anyone else heard about the new model(s)? More details will follow then dealers meeting in October, but until then...

According to my dealer they are releasing new models within the next few weeks after the dealer meetings. The RTV1100 cab model I was told was a from the ground up redo with the same engine but newer transmission and independant rear suspension. In the cab was supposed to have an updated tilt steering and under seat storage. He also said the 900 was going to be new and they would offer a middle of the road performance 900 with the 1100 engine that would have a bit more ground speed. Something about an X series.
Here is a link I found. Products

Looks like they pulled the info from their site. I was 4 days away from buying an RTV-500 too.

Here's the cached info from the X1120 page:

RTV-X1100C
Experience luxurious driving comfort in the first utility vehicle in the industry to offer a factory-installed, climate-controlled cab. Plus a 24.8HP Kubota D1105 3-cylinder diesel engine, exclusive Variable Hydro Transmission (VHT Plus2) and Standard 4-Wheel Drive.

Engine
Powerful Kubota Diesel Engines
Even while carrying a heavy load, the RTV900XT’s
robust, 21.6-horsepower, 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled
Kubota D902 diesel engine powers you in, over and
through even the most rugged, off-road terrain.
Front Suspension
Independent Front Suspension
The MachPherson Strut-type suspension on
each of the front wheels – an independent
suspension system – maximizes shock
absorption as well as minimizes body tilt.
Transmission
VHT Plus2 (Variable Hydro Transmission)
No rubber belts allowed. Kubota’s exclusive high-performance, three-range VHT features more usable torque, steady acceleration, smooth engine-assisted deceleration, hill-holding abilities and powertrain durability that no rubber-belted CVT can muster over the long haul. If you’re looking to maximize your carrying or towing performance, the VHT Plus2 is the only way to go.
Steering
Responsive Hydrostatic Power Steering
Off-road driving requires split-second decision-making. Kubota RTVs respond just as quickly. They’re the first in their class to be equipped with hydrostatic power steering.
Front Guard
New Reinforced Steel Front Guard
Unlike some competitive machines that have decorative brush guards, the heavy-duty, reinforced steel of our front guard offers protection. (Optional on RTV-X900 General Purpose model.)
Place Holder
High Intensity Frame Structure
Meticulously crafted from a high-intensity, lightweight metal and robotically welded for maximum reliability,
the RTV-X900’s rugged frame structure can endure years of tough punishment.
Seats
New Improved Seat
RTV-X900’s seat features a full-length backrest and softer, more sculpted seat bottoms for better comfort.
ROPS
Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS)
For your safety and protection, a ROPS is a standard feature on the RTV-X900. This ROPS meets OSHA
1928.52 standards.
Wheel
Optional Alloy Wheels
Available with ATV or HDWS tires. (Standard on RTV-X900 S Package)
Place Holder
Reliable, Wet-type Disc Brake
Taking on a hilly terrain means frequent braking. With our light-step, wet-type disc brake, you’ll stop quickly and effortlessly. Plus, its durability means no drop in performance due to wear.

I wonder if it will really be 4wd or still 3 wd like the models to date?

Curious if they streamlined the RTV1100 cab..Un-necessarily tall on mine...A little more ground speed would be nice but not necessary. All other current systems get a thumbs up from me.

Hmm, no changes for the current 400, 500 and 1140 models. I wonder how much the price will increase with the updated models?

Here is a photo that I found - looks like sort of a botched Photoshop job, but you get the idea. Looks interesting! I wonder if all models will take on this look? Acrylic Windshield for the Kubota RTVX900 and RTVX1120D
