Polaris introduces the 2024 Ranger XD 1500, the hardest working UTV yet with a 110-horsepower, 3-cylinder engine.

Polaris Ranger XD 1500 comes with significant upgrades, including a high-strength steel monocoque chassis that is 160% stiffer than other Ranger models, an upgraded "STEELDRIVE" transmission, and a powerful 1,500cc three-cylinder engine.

The 2024 Polaris Ranger XD 1500 is a new, hardworking UTV designed for farmers, large property owners, ranchers, and big game hunters who need a capable vehicle for work purposes.

Polaris's first-ever 1,500cc three-pot makes 110 horsepower and 105 pound-feet (143 Nm) of torque, which the brand claims is industry leading. That engine combines with the new transmission that features a 100% steel-constructed belt and a fully-sealed, liquid-cooled design. It also features Hill Assist, which helps the Ranger from rolling backwards on a hill when moving from the brake to the throttle, and it also helps to maintain speed going downhill. The combination of its punchier engine, beefier transmission, and more robust frame is what allows it to tow 3,500 pounds (1587 kg), which Polaris says is something its customers regularly need to do. Its cargo box can also handle 1,500 pounds (680 kg).

In addition to being the most capable Polaris ever, it's also the more luxurious. The Ranger XD 1500 has the most spacious interior of any Polaris, an adjustable and telescoping steering wheel, optional heated seats, heating and air conditioning, an optional JBL sound system, and even an optional 7-inch waterproof touchscreen with a backup camera and Bluetooth streaming. Hell, it even has driving modes: Comfort, Standard, Sport, and Tow/Haul, which adjusts the throttle, transmission, and braking responses accordingly.

It's also available with new "Lock & Ride MAX" customizable accessory attachments and an 84-inch Glacier Pro HD plow.

The Ranger XD 1500 Premium starts at $29,999 and comes decently well equipped. Upgrade to the Ranger XD 1500 NorthStar Premium and it will cost you $39,999 but it also gets you a fully enclosed cabin, HVAC, and some other fancy gizmos. However, the top-sped Ranger XD 1500 NorthStar Ultimate costs $44,999 and that gets you all the bells and whistles.

The Polaris Ranger XD 1500 is available in either a three- or six-seat configuration and will begin shipping to U.S. dealerships later this summer.
