Kawasaki Jet Ski Australia is offering its first discount promotion since the global pandemic sent prices soaring across the industry three years ago.
The Kawasaki Jet STX 160X and 160LX – the entry models into the Kawasaki Jet Ski range – are available with a $1500 discount when sold via a Kawasaki Jet Ski dealer until the end of this month.
With the $1500 discount applied it brings the price of the Kawasaki STX 160 X from $17,048 to $15,548 (excluding trailer and registration) and the Kawasaki STX 160 LX from $19,248 to $17,748 (excluding trailer and registration).
Notably, both discounted prices are still dearer than the cost of the Kawasaki STX 160 two years ago.
Buyers who sign up to the Kawasaki STX 160 deal at this weekend’s Sydney Boat Show will also receive a cover valued at $734, and a 50th anniversary pack valued at $200.
The 50th anniversary pack deal applies to all Kawasaki Jet Ski models sold at Sydney Boat Show – including the just-arrived Ultra 160 LX and LX-S and the supercharged Ultra 310X, Ultra 310 LX-S and flagship Ultra 310 LX.
The 50th anniversary pack includes sunglasses, sunglasses strap, drink cooler, limited-edition lanyard, and a sun hat.
The Kawasaki STX 160 range is powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine with 160 horsepower, the same engine fitted to the larger Kawasaki Ultra 160 range.
The Kawasaki Ultra 310 range is powered by a supercharged version of the 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine with 310 horsepower.
