New GENERAL XP 1000 Sport Trim Opens the Door for More Riders to Get In & Experience Adventure; A Host of Rider-Inspired Updates Allow Riders to Feel the Thrill & Get More Done

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – August 3, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Polaris Off-Road, the world leader in powersports and innovation, today announced its 2023 lineup, comprising a dynamic mix of rider-inspired vehicle updates, fresh new looks, and the expansion of RIDE COMMAND+ — a mobile-app that builds off its RIDE COMMAND technology to offer industry-first connected vehicle services.
“Over the last year, we’ve accelerated our pursuit to deliver the vehicles and performance our customers ask for. Whether it be the next-level performance capabilities of the RZR Turbo R and RZR Pro R, or the technologically advanced, all-electric RANGER XP Kinetic – we continuously raise the bar and set industry standards,” said Steve Menneto, President of Polaris Off-Road. “As the leader in off-road, we continue to innovate and evolve our lineup to serve a broad array of riders. The 2023 model year lineup is the latest example of our team’s ongoing commitment to answer the call from our riders.”

For thrill-seekers, the 2023 RZR lineup offers an updated color mix and fresh trim offerings, including a meaner, blacked-out take on the dune-dominating RZR Turbo R. For customers hungry for adventure, there’s the all-new GENERAL XP 1000 Sport—delivering strong, powerful trail performance at a great price. Already the ultimate machine for those wanting to get more done on the job, the RANGER XP 1000 NorthStar Trail Boss Edition expands its capabilities with a host of work-enhancing new features. And for the ATV community, Sportsman models offer exciting new color options, along with new CV guards on specific models for added durability.

Continuing its ongoing efforts to enhance the ownership experience, Polaris is significantly expanding its RIDE COMMAND service with the all-new RIDE COMMAND+. Building on RIDE COMMAND’s existing suite of industry-leading features, RIDE COMMAND+ helps riders stay connected to their vehicle through a robust, mobile-enabled service that provides a whole new level of vehicle information, security, and control. RIDE COMMAND+ is accessed through the Polaris app, RIDE COMMAND website, or the in-vehicle display system.

“Pushing forward with industry-first technologies has been a cornerstone of our success,” Menneto continued. “With RIDE COMMAND+, we’re unlocking a new wave of innovation for the off-road market that enables owners to manage and maximize their vehicle and riding experience through connected vehicle technology.”

From the latest technology to updates and enhancements that will appeal to a broad range of off-road riders, the Polaris Off-Road 2023 model year lineup includes:

RIDE COMMAND+

RIDE COMMAND+ features vehicle-to-cellular connectivity that allows riders to conveniently check on the current vehicle’s status, while its Vehicle Health feature will run issue diagnostic reports and monitor fuel/charge levels to confirm the vehicle’s readiness. The RIDE COMMAND+ Vehicle Locator will be an extremely beneficial feature for hunters, or anyone enjoying the outdoors, when having to leave their vehicle parked. The Vehicle Locator feature delivers a pinpoint location to the machine. RIDE COMMAND+ delivers enhanced mobile technology for riders to connect, drive and adventure.

Adding to an already-robust set of offerings, Polaris will continue to expand the RIDE COMMAND+ service with even more industry-leading features using Over the Air (OTA) updates. Coming later in 2022, RIDE COMMAND+ will offer its riders added security with Location and Bump Alerts. Bump Alert, a 24/7 monitoring feature, will send a notification any time the vehicle has been bumped or moved. If moved, the Vehicle Locator feature will provide its latest coordinates. In addition, Polaris will introduce Ride Tracking+, where riders can automatically track their rides using the vehicle’s GPS location without having to use their mobile phone’s data. After the ride, riders will be able to generate a full report from the day’s ride, including time logged, miles traveled, waypoints and elevation changes. The report is a fun and helpful tool to not only relive the ride, but to plan future trips.

RIDE COMMAND+ will launch standard on all 2023 RANGER XP Kinetic models and all 2023 RANGER XP 1000 NorthStar Trail Boss Edition models. The service is available as an accessory add-on for all trims in the following 2023 models: RANGER 1000, RANGER XP 1000, RANGER 570, Sportsman 570, Sportsman 450, Sportsman 850 and Sportsman XP 1000. Polaris plans to further roll out vehicle compatibility for RIDE COMMAND+.

Riders can access the new service via the Polaris mobile app, web, or the in-vehicle, seven-inch touchscreen display system. Riders will receive a 36-month trial of RIDE COMMAND+ when purchasing the stock models standard with the service. Riders adding RIDE COMMAND+ via accessory will receive a 12-month trial. At the conclusion of each trial period, riders can sign up and continue the service for $99/year.

To activate RIDE COMMAND+, riders must download and login to the Polaris app and add the connected vehicle to their digital garage.
