Huntsville, Alabama; First
Shipments to Dealers Start this Week
MINNEAPOLIS, April 24,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Polaris Inc. (NYSE: PII), the
global leader in powersports and off-road innovation, today
announced the first shipments of its all-new electric RANGER XP
Kinetic vehicles are headed to dealers this week for customer
pickup. Polaris manufactures its fully electric RANGER XP Kinetic
off-road vehicles at the Company's more than 900,000-square-foot
manufacturing facility located in Huntsville, Alabama. Polaris plans to take
additional orders on the RANGER XP Kinetic this summer.
Production of the Polaris RANGER XP Kinetic
started earlier this month at its manufacturing facility in
Huntsville, Ala.
"Since announcing our electrification efforts and partnership
with Zero Motorcycles, it has been major milestone moments like
today's announcement that have motivated and driven our team to
engineer and deliver category-redefining powersports vehicles,"
said Steve Menneto, president of Off
Road, Polaris. "The RANGER XP Kinetic demonstrates the
game-changing performance advantages that an electric powertrain
can provide, and we look forward to getting these vehicles into the
hands of our dealers and consumers across the country."
Featuring an all-electric powertrain, engineered for off-road
use through Polaris' exclusive 10-year partnership with Zero
Motorcycles®, the RANGER XP Kinetic sets a new benchmark
for electric utility side-by-side vehicle performance and
productivity, delivering uncompromised capability, unrivaled
durability, and refined performance.
"We knew there would be interest for a performance-driven
electric RANGER but selling out two hours after opening our initial
order window for the XP Kinetic exceeded our expectations," said
Josh Hermes, vice president, Electric Vehicles for Off Road,
Polaris. "Customers who ordered an XP Kinetic are going to
experience firsthand the benefits that electric offers, and we will
provide even more people with the opportunity to own the industry's
best-performing off-road utility vehicle when we take additional
customer and dealer orders this summer."
RANGER XP Kinetic delivers uncompromised capability,
unrivaled durability, and the refined performance of an
all-electric powertrain.
The all-new RANGER XP Kinetic helps customers get more done by
offering the most horsepower and torque ever found in a utility
side-by-side. A class-leading 110 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of
instant torque deliver maximum power and capability, including the
ability to effortlessly tow up to 2,500lbs and haul an
industry-best 1,250lbs. Its electric powertrain delivers smooth,
precise control when operating at low speeds, so customers have
full control while towing or backing up to a trailer, while the
instantaneous torque also delivers quicker acceleration.
In addition to its unmatched performance, customers will
appreciate the quiet electric powertrain for easy conversations
with passengers, ability to work in the early morning or late
evenings without waking neighbors, working around livestock, or
stealthy trips to remote hunting spots. An electric powertrain
also means fewer moving parts for lower maintenance costs. All 2023
RANGER XP Kinetic models are equipped with RIDE COMMAND+, which
offers industry-first connected vehicle services, including remote
vehicle location services, battery status monitoring, enhanced
group ride tracking, and more.
