2027 POLARIS Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Edition Ultimate,

Meet the 2027 Polaris Ranger XP 1000 NorthStar Edition Ultimate—a full-size utility UTV that shows up ready to work hard, play harder, and look sharp doing it in . It’s the kind of machine that makes “Let’s just run into town / check the fence line / hit that trail real quick” turn into an all-day adventure.



At the heart of it is Polaris’ liquid-cooled 999cc ProStar parallel-twin. With 82 hp and 62 ft-lb of torque, it’s got that confident, smooth punch that feels equally at home cruising a backroad or pulling with purpose. The fuel-injected setup and electric start keep things simple, and it sips regular gas, so you’re not hunting for anything fancy—just turning the key and rolling out.



Power goes through the Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT) CVT, with high/low range and reverse on tap for the moments when the job gets slow, steep, or technical. When traction changes, the On-Demand driveline lets you choose 4x2 or AWD with three driveline modes, giving you the flexibility to stay efficient on easier ground or dig in when conditions get messy.



This NorthStar Edition Ultimate is built for real terrain, not just parking lots: 14 inches of ground clearance, a tight 13-foot turning radius, and independent double A-arm suspension front and rear with 10 inches of travel. With adjustable preload up front and adjustable shock/spring preload in the rear, you can tune it for a loaded workday or a lighter, faster trail run. The 29-inch Pro Armor X-Terrain 8-ply tires on 14-inch aluminum wheels bring a sturdy, confident footprint, while hydraulic disc brakes handle stopping duties with a planted feel.



Inside, it’s practical and comfortable: a 3-seat bucket setup with vinyl and headrests, plus four cupholders for the crew. Navigation and ride info come via RIDE COMMAND GPS, and the soundtrack is covered by JBL audio with two speakers and Bluetooth, backed up by mobile app instrumentation for extra convenience.



And when it’s time to put in work, this Ranger brings muscle: 1,000 lb bed capacity in a tilting polyethylene cargo box with integral tie-down hooks, plus 2,500 lb towing capacity from a receiver hitch. Add in the protection of a brush guard and comprehensive skid plating, and this NorthStar Edition Ultimate is ready to earn its keep—then chase the sunset afterward.
