The family has a 2015 JD Gator with the Cherry engine. It is the longest one they offer. Seats 2 or 3 up front and 3 in the back which also folds down and behind all of that is a dump bed. It is a very good machine but with the Cherry Engine (gasoline) and the CVT type transmission, it is very loud. The intake is mounted down low but that has not been an issue. The CVT / belt type transmissions are ideal for keeping the engines on these UTV's in their power band but they sure cause/require the engines to rev up unnecessarily high especially at low speed travel. Not to bash a CVT because they are advantageous in many situations but if a quiet ride is important and electric is not an option then I would think something with a clutch and gear type transmission would allow engine rpms to be kept to a minimum. As far as an electric UTV goes, I have zero experience but I could only imagine the battery plant would not be cheap to replace and could make for a very heavy vehicle.
