Key Features of the 2025 Polaris Ranger XD 1500 NorthStar Ultimate

110 HP ProStar 1500cc Engine & STEELDRIVE Transmission

Under the hood, the 3-cylinder ProStar 1500cc engine delivers 110 HP and 105 lb.-ft. of torque—numbers that matter when you are climbing grades with a load, pulling trailers across pastures, or pushing through mud and snow. Throttle response is confident yet controllable, letting you place power precisely where you need it. The industry-exclusive STEELDRIVE transmission is designed around a 100% steel constructed belt, fully sealed and liquid cooled for maximum durability and longevity. Compared to rubber-belt designs, STEELDRIVE is engineered to withstand heavier loads, minimize maintenance, and provide ultra-smooth engagement and quiet operation. The result is a work-focused driveline that inspires confidence day after day and season after season.

Enclosed Cab with Power Windows and Tip-Out Windshield

The Ultimate trim’s enclosed cab seals out dust and weather while keeping conversations easy and the ride quiet. Power windows simplify ventilation and make it effortless to talk with co-workers or access a gate. The tip-out windshield provides additional airflow when you want it and can quickly close to keep heat or A/C inside the cab. Combined with the industry’s most spacious interior—featuring 2" more leg room than other full-size Polaris UTVs—entry and exit are easier, and long stints behind the wheel are more comfortable. Adjustable seating with added bolstering, a telescopic steering wheel, and a center flip-down seat that doubles as an armrest with cupholders round out a cabin built for real-world use.

Factory-Installed Heating & Air Conditioning (HVAC) System

The upgraded HVAC system brings complete climate control to your workday. With five airflow settings plus a recirculation mode, you can heat or cool the cab faster by drawing air from inside rather than outside—ideal for the coldest mornings and hottest afternoons. Defrost performance is strong, clearing the windshield quickly to keep you moving safely. Because the system is integrated from the factory, ducting and controls are optimized for efficiency, airflow is balanced, and the cab seals are engineered to preserve comfort. Paired with heated seats on Ultimate, this is true four-season capability that transforms early starts, late nights, and full-day shifts into a comfortable routine.

7" Display, Powered by RIDE COMMAND, with Factory Rear Camera

Navigation, communication, and vehicle information come together on the 7" Display, Powered by RIDE COMMAND. The interface is designed for gloved use and delivers essential readouts at a glance while enabling features like GPS mapping and the factory rear camera to keep hooks, hitches, and obstacles in view. RIDE COMMAND+ adds connected vehicle services so you can monitor status and location, receive alerts, and stay informed. It is a smarter way to manage your machine, whether you are coordinating multiple units across a property or simply prefer to keep your vehicle information in your pocket. Audio is equally premium with JBL Trail Pro 2000 Audio, tuned for clarity in the challenging acoustics of an enclosed off-road cab.

Polaris Pro HD 6,000 Lb. Winch with Synthetic Rope, Autostop, Rapid Rope Recovery and Wireless Remote

When the job demands recovery, lifting, or fine control, the Polaris Pro HD 6,000 Lb. Winch is ready. Synthetic rope reduces weight and resists kinking, while Autostop helps prevent over-spooling at the hook. Rapid Rope Recovery speeds line retrieval, and the wireless remote lets you operate the winch with precision from the ground or inside the cab. Combined with 3,500 Lb. towing capacity, 1,500 Lb. box capacity, LED cargo box lighting, and an electronic cargo box lift, the NorthStar Edition Ultimate is built to move materials and manage tough tasks efficiently. Add 30" Kenda Cross Trail Tires on 15" wheels and bumper D-Rings with TopBar, and you have a utility platform that is both capable and confidence-inspiring.
