Take the road in comfort. Polaris Slingshot today announced its
newest model to the 2020 lineup, the Grand Touring LE. As a
limited-edition model, the Grand Touring LE delivers next-level
comfort, style and design. Along with a host of amenities, the
Grand Touring LE is highlighted by Slingshot’s new 2020 AutoDrive
transmission, an automatic-like driving experience without the need
for clutching or shifting that allows anyone to get in, stand out
and enjoy the adventure only a Slingshot can deliver.

Featuring exclusive Fairway Green paint with bronze accents and
special-edition bronze wheels, the 2020 Grand Touring LE stands out
from the crowd like nothing else. Slingshot’s Quilted Comfort Seats
provide all-day comfort for drivers and passengers, while a tall
Ripper Series Wind Deflector adds protection from the elements.
Slingshot’s seven-inch Ride Command infotainment system with
built-in GPS navigation and turn-by-turn directions is perfect for
any adventure. Finishing off the limited-edition, custom-inspired
design is a color-matched Slingshade top, color-matched Rear Fender
and interior accent lighting.
“With superior comfort, convenient technology, and head-turning
styling, the Grand Touring LE transforms daily driving into
unforgettable adventures,” said Chris Sergeant, Vice President of
Polaris Slingshot. “Premium amenities set the Grand Touring LE
apart from the rest of the Slingshot lineup, while Slingshot’s new
ProStar 2.0L powertrain, AutoDrive transmission, and redesigned
interior ensures that driving a Slingshot elevates an ordinary
commute into an extraordinary driving experience.”
Similar to the 2020 SL and R, the Grand Touring LE features 70%
all-new vehicle content. Taking center stage is Slingshot’s
AutoDrive transmission. With no clutch pedal or manual shifting
necessary, drivers can operate a 2020 Slingshot with AutoDrive in
much the same way they drive a standard automatic. With the
majority of people unable to operate a stick shift, the
implementation of the AutoDrive transmission takes the next step to
further expand accessibility.
Furthermore, 2020 Slingshot models pack Polaris Industries’
first four-cylinder engine, the ProStar 2.0L, and a completely
redesigned interior – providing more comfort and convenience with a
new steering wheel, gauges, and added storage compartments.
Drivers looking to personalize their Grand Touring LE can do so
with Slingshot Engineered Accessories, including Slingshot’s new
Heated and Cooled Seats and Stage 1 Tune upgrade to deliver up to
203 horsepower. Slingshot’s Heated and Cooled Seats features a
proprietary thermoelectric technology that cools and heats the seat
on three varying settings (low, medium and high), while a flexible
graphene material disperses the heating or cooling throughout the
bottom and backrest of the seat for full coverage. Each seat is
plush, cushioned with accent stitching and an embroidered Slingshot
logo in the headrest. A non-perforated design means each seat is
water resistant and highly durable. With no HVAC system, the
Slingshot Heated and Cooled Seat is easily installed in replace of
the standard driver or passenger seat. Drivers can further
personalize their Grand Touring LE with a wide array of Slingshot
Engineered Accessories, included additional storage and lighting
options. For more information, visit PolarisSlingshot.com.
Starting at $33,999, the 2020 Grand Touring LE is shipping to
Polaris Slingshot dealers now. Consumers can learn more and find
