EXPANDING THE FUN Polaris Unveils Its 2025 RZR XP Models The new 2025 Polaris RZR XP models are a welcome update to the RZR XP line for avid side-by-side enthusiasts. Many of the advances Polaris has made with its involvement in off-road racing, have trickled down to provide improved durability and performance, added on top of new trail-optimized technology. For 2025 models, the mid-level Premium trim now includes Polaris’ RIDE COMMAND system which includes a seven-inch touchscreen display and provides clear GPS navigation and group ride tracking that works without a cell signal to keep riders connected and on course. As an added value, the Ultimate trim now comes standard with a 4,500 lb winch, giving riders peace-of-mind as they tackle the toughest trails. New colors and graphics for the 2025 models provide an aggressive look to its rugged design. The Sport trim is now available in Storm Gray with Radiant Green accents, as well as Polaris Blue, while the Premium trim is now offered in Storm Gray with Red accents and matching springs. Finally, the top-tier Ultimate trim is available in Storm Gray and Lime, plus Polaris Blue and Orange, each with matching colored springs, front bumper, and seats. “Last year, we completely redesigned the RZR XP platform from the ground-up, making it superior in every way possible. Not only does it surpass all previous RZR XP models but it outshines the competition by delivering riders the best in design, performance and technology,” said Reid Wilson, Vice President, Polaris Off-Road. “Customers love the redesign we launched last year. For 2025, we’re continuing to highlight what makes this RZR XP platform the No. 1 selling sport side-by-side, while delivering it all at an incredible value to our riders.” For improved durability on these models, the RZR XP features a full-coverage skid plate for powertrain protection, along with an integrated tubular front bumper. A rider-inspired interior incorporates years of feedback to create a more comfortable cab with a sportier driving position and increased leg room. Additionally, raised rear seats are designed to deliver a more enjoyable ride for backseat passengers providing optimized visibility, while solid half doors, self-draining floors and an available poly roof shrug off dust, rain and any other elements. Power from the 2025 XP models is from a 999cc, 114-horsepower engine connected to a 25 percent stronger chassis for greater agility. Precision-tuned Walker Evans Racing® Needle Shocks provide 20.5 inches of usable travel, and a cooler-running CVT extends belt life, while a redesigned driveline delivers 30 percent stronger half shafts. Connectivity is important to riders and as such they can rely on the RIDE COMMAND system that provides over a million miles of verified trails nationwide and a host of unique features, available free of charge for all riders via the Polaris app, online or in vehicles depending on trim level. Entertainment comes from a factory Rockford Fosgate® Stage 3 Audio on the Ultimate trim delivers powerful and crystal clear sound for an immersive audio experience anywhere on the trail. The 2025 RZR XP is available in two and four-seat models and in three trim levels: Sport, Premium, and Ultimate. Prices start at $19,999 US MSRP, for the RZR XP 1000 Sport, featuring two color options, 29” tires, LED headlights, illuminated in-cab switches, 660-W Charging System, and three-point seat belts.
