POLARIS has launched what it is calling a “range of owner-inspired upgrades” to its Ranger line-up.
The 2025 Ranger offering features a redesigned front end and new front bumper for added robustness, an upgraded Gen 2 transmission for smooth and consistent shifting, and “intuitive accessories” for added rider convenience and an immersive ride experience.
Reid Wilson, Polaris Vice president and general manager of off road, said: “We constantly use our customers’ feedback to drive improvements that truly matter to them and make the best-selling side-by-side even better.
“The results of that are on display with the full-size Ranger offering for 2025.
“Whether it’s tackling a tough task or enjoying a trail, the new 2025 full-size Ranger lineup is stacked with quality enhancements and upgraded features to deliver more capability, durability, and comfort as the number one selling off-road brand.”
Notable upgrades for 2025 include:
- Ranger XP 1000 and Ranger Diesel have a bold, restyled front-end design, with new bumper and grille for added robustness.
- Ranger XP 1000 models have an upgraded electric power steering system with enhanced control and responsiveness, especially at low speeds.
- Ranger 1000 and XP 1000 models feature an upgraded Gen 2 transmission that reduces shifting effort by up to 50 per cent to enable easier and smoother shifting and two-times longer service intervals (2,000 miles/200 hours).
- New ultra-bright LED headlights now feature on the Ranger 1000 Nordic Pro Edition and Diesel models for enhanced brightness that help riders extend their days.
- Tractor-homologated Ranger XP 1000 models see an increase to power as well as the introduction of drive modes – riders can choose between work, standard and performance mode to control the throttle based on the task at hand.
- Redesigned cab nets with a new single-latch connection point for easier entry and exit.
- Integrated speed limiting is now a standard feature across the Ranger XP 1000 range – especially helpful for low-speed tasks like spraying or mowing.
In addition to the new upgrades, the 2025 full-size RANGER lineup continues to provide the features riders have come to expect from Polaris, including 454 kg box capacity and 1,136 kg towing to carry large loads in fewer trips, maximising overall productivity, as well as on-demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) that automatically engages four-wheel drive when traction loss is detected for confidence in rough terrain, and reverts back to two-wheel drive when traction is regained.
