Polaris to launch all-electric UTV to Irish Market 

Irish farmers will have the option of buying an all-electric utility track vehicle (UTV) this summer. This comes as Polaris has announced that it would bring the new Ranger XP Kinetic to the market.

According to the company, the UTV will have “unrivalled durability” so riders can maximise their uptime and improve productivity.   

Polaris adds that the machine has been “torture-tested” in extreme conditions and treacherous terrain and is backed by a one-year factory-installed warranty, three-year electric powertrain coverage, and five-year battery coverage.

It says the machine has an industry-leading 110 HP and 140lb-ft of instant torque and can tow 1,134kg and haul 567kg.  

Added to this Polaris also says scheduled maintenance costs are expected to be 70% less than average maintenance costs for similar fuel-powered vehicles. The new machine features an entirely new electric powertrain born from Polaris’ partnership with Zero Motorcycles.  

The UTV has three drive modes optimised to driving conditions and range management: 

  • Eco+: Optimises torque and top speed for maximum range and light duty jobs. 
  • Standard: Optimises throttle response for everyday driving and moderate-sized jobs 
  • Sport: Optimises throttle response for spirited driving and the toughest jobs 

Polaris has designed new accessories specific for Ranger XP Kinetic, including a fast-acting electric heater kit so customers can ride in comfort in the colder months.
