Polaris Off-Road introduced the 2020 Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Premium and Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Ultimate in three- and six-seat models.
Polaris added features, including Ride Command technology, cab upgrades for the NorthStar Ultimate and an integrated winch for both the NorthStar Ultimate and NorthStar Premium.
“Our customers work hard and play hard. Not only do they demand a vehicle to keep them going in the toughest conditions, but they also expect an elevated off-road experience,” said Steven Menneto, president of Off Road, Polaris. “With climate control, premium cab upgrades and the industry’s only Ride Command technology as standard equipment, our new NorthStar lineup has them covered — now at a more accessible price.”
The 2020 Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Premium is equipped with a fully enclosed Pro Shield cab system with dome light, heat, air conditioning, defrost, review mirror, windshield wiper with washer and a newly added Pro HD 4,500-lb. winch. It also comes with a dual overhead cam ProStar 1000 engine producing 82 hp and 2,500 lbs. of towing capacity, for a starting price of $23,999 U.S. MSRP for the three-seat model and $26,299 U.S. MSRP for the crew model.
The 2020 Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Ultimate (starting at $26,499 U.S. MSRP) includes the same features as the NorthStar Premium. The NorthStar Ultimate upgrades with a Pro Shield full glass tip-out windshield and power window doors. Polaris also added its Ride Command infotainment system as standard equipment.
The 7-inch glove-touch display features built-in GPS navigation, vehicle diagnostic information, an AM/FM radio tuner and Bluetooth smartphone connectivity. Audio is transmitted through included in-dash speakers or the optional seven-speaker MB Quart Audio package, while front and rear-mounted cameras provide added visibility when backing up or navigating tight spaces. Additional features include a plow mode, which automatically engages (lifts, drops and drags) the plow based on the selected gear, and the upgraded Group Ride feature, which lets users view the live location of other riders without the need for cellular reception.
Polaris also brought its sunset red metallic exterior color option to the 2020 Ranger Crew 1000 Premium (starting at $16,499 U.S. MSRP). The Ranger 1000 offers a single overhead cam ProStar 1000 engine that produces 61 hp and 55 lb.-ft. of low-end torque to tow up to 2,500 lbs. Additional improvements include a rugged, full-body skid plate, a Pro-PVTi clutch system and sealed bushings and bearings.
