Polaris revealed its 2026 off-road lineup on Tuesday, featuring the same brands but with new variants such as the Ranger 500 and a special Sportsman to celebrate the 40-year anniversary of the company entering the ATV industry.

All models will begin shipping to dealers in August.

Polaris General

The Polaris General is the company’s primary crossover UTV, intended to compete with models like the Can-Am Commander and Honda Pioneer.

It is split into the General 1000 and General XP trims, the latter featuring more ground clearance and suspension travel along with a Polaris HD 4,500-pound winch. Both versions come with a 999cc, 100-horsepower engine along with a 1,500-lb towing capacity and 600-l capacity dump box. Each also have Premium, Sport, and Ultimate trims.

The General 1000 Premium will now have FOX 2.0 Podium QS3 shocks, LED headlights, 14-inch wheels, and 27-inch Maxxis Coronado tires. The XP Premium, meanwhile, focuses on improving rider comfort with a padded center console and convex rear-view mirror; the XP Ultimate now has Polaris Ride Command technology and a better sound system (Rockford Fosgate Stage 3 compared to the XP Premium’ Stage 2).

The line will feature a starting MSRP of USD$17,999.

Polaris Ranger

The Polaris Ranger has a new addition to the family with the Ranger 500, designed to be more accessible to the average person-slash-potential consumer. More details on the Ranger 500 can be read here.

Of course, its more powerful siblings are still available too for the savvier users. The SP 570, 1000, XP 1000, and XP 1000 Special Editions all come in standard and Premium trims. The SP 570 and XP 1000 also have NorthStar models that feature an enclosed cockpit along with heating and air conditioning, while the NorthStar Ultimate has Ride Command and GPS navigation.

The Special Editions include the NorthStar Trail Boss, CREW Texas and CREW NorthStar Texas.

The Ranger has a starting MSRP of $9,999.

Polaris RZR

The Polaris RZR has been impressive in the desert thanks to factory driver Brock Heger’s historic UTV win streak spanning across multiple disciplines from Baja to Dakar. Why fix what isn’t broken?

Thus, the 2026 customer model focuses mainly on aesthetics and improving comfort like better sightlines and more efficient seat and steering wheel adjustment mechanisms.

The headlining RZR Pro XP and Pro S come in Sport and Ultimate models. The Pro XP Sport has FOX shocks as opposed to the Pro S Sport’s Walker Evans. Of their Sport versions, the former uses FOX shocks for all terrain whereas the latter has Walker Evans Racing shocks for extreme environments. The S Ultimate now has DYNAMIX 2.0 semi-active suspension like its XP Ultimate counterpart. All Pro XP and Pro S models will also have inner door handles for the first time.

In comparison, the smaller RZR Trail—designed for narrower 50″ trails—features more technical upgrades. The RZR Trail Ultimate now uses Rockford Fosgate audio, FOX Podium X shocks, and VersaTrac Turf Mode to improve handling. The RZR Trail S is wider at 60 inches with 27″ tires and better shocks from the Walker Evans Needle line.

The Trail S is only available as an Ultimate car whereas the standard Trail comes in Sport and Ultimate.

The RZR starts at $16,999.

Polaris Sportsman

The centerpiece of the 2026 Polaris Sportsman is the Sportsman 570 Premium 40th Anniversary Edition, a limited release to celebrate the company’s first ATV produced in 1986. More info on this version along with Polaris’ history with ATVs can be read here.

The regular 570 along with its EPS and Trail versions will still be offered along with a new 3,500-lb winch. The 570 EPS also has new LED headlights.

Other Sportsman models include the 450 (HO and HO EPS), 850 (Premium and Trail), Touring (570 Premium and 570 Ultimate), Mud edition (850 and XP 1000), and the Scrambler XP 1000 S.

Optionally, customers can add fender flares as accessories to the 450, 570, and Touring 570 while the 450 and 570 can have heated seats.

The Sportsman lineup begins at $6,999.

Polaris XPEDITION

Polaris’ performance UTV, the Polaris XPEDITION comes in the XP and ADV makes. The former has an open rear cargo box, while the latter is built for heavier gear hauling with an enclosed pass-through cargo space five inches longer than its counterpart along with a locking tailgate.

Both 2026 models now have Ride Command+ installed along with a free three years on the service, 30-inch Pro Armor Trekker tires, and new liveries in red and gray alongside the usual matte graphite.

The XPDEITION has a starting rate of $39,499.

Youth

For the kids, Polaris has the Outlaw UTVs. Those six and up are intended to drive the Outlaw 70 EFI while ten and over get the Outlaw 110 EFI and Sportsman 110 EFI.

The Outlaw 70 has an enclosed engine and a speed limiter that can be set by an adult.

Youth versions of existing models are also back like the Ranger 150 EFI and RZR 200 EFI. The latter comes with dual A-arm front suspension and smoother control over rough terain.
