2023+ RANGER XP Kinetic Overview

PRICE & ORDERING

How does the cost of ownership compare to a gas-powered vehicle?
You can expect to save a significant amount during ownership with 70 percent less maintenance than a gas–powered vehicle, fewer moving parts and no gas to buy. Combine this with the confidence of a 3-year electric powertrain and 5-year battery warranty, and the RANGER XP Kinetic has a compelling cost of ownership. 

BATTERIES

What types of batteries does it use?
Every RANGER XP Kinetic comes standard with Lithium-Ion battery technology. The Premium trim features 14.9kWh battery capacity, while the Ultimate increases to 29.8kWh battery capacity.

What is the advantage of Lithium-Ion Batteries?
Lithium-Ion battery chemistry can store more energy in a smaller space (which reduces weight), requires less maintenance than a gas-powered engine, and has a significantly longer useful life than a traditional lead acid battery.

How long will the battery last?
The batteries are designed to last the life of the vehicle. Although the longevity of the batteries depends on factors that can vary widely between owners, like frequency of use and miles of use, an average ownership period should retain 90-95 percent of the original battery capacity! That means that these batteries can go thousands of miles before they may lose only a few miles of range.

What happens if I don't use the vehicle for a few months?
Follow the instructions in 2023+ RANGER XP Kinetic Storage.

Can I upgrade the battery on my XP Kinetic Premium?
No, the battery is not upgradeable on either trim of XP Kinetic. 

TRIMS, FEATURES & ACCESSORIES

What are my options for battery and drivetrain?
Both Premium and Ultimate trims are available with an electric motor that produces 110HP and 140 lb-ft of torque.

There are two batteries configurations available depending on trim: 14.9kWh battery capacity delivering up to an estimated *45-mile range (Premium trim only) 29.8kWh battery capacity delivering up to an estimated *80-mile range (Ultimate trim only).

You cannot option a different battery configuration to what is standard on your desired trim.

Can I get this in a CREW?
RANGER XP Kinetic is only available in the 3-seat configuration.

Can I get an XP Kinetic NorthStar?
The NorthStar trim is not available for XP Kinetic. However, ProShield cab systems, heater kits and Pro HD winches are all available for XP Kinetic as Polaris Engineered accessories.

Do RANGER accessories fit on XP Kinetic?
RANGER XP Kinetic is compatible with 95 percent of RANGER XP 1000 accessories, including Pro Shield cab systems, Rhino Rack®, Pro HD winches, Lock & Ride Storage, Glacier plows and MB Quart® Audio.

New accessories include a fast-acting electric heater so riders can stay comfortable in cool weather and a 3kW on-board charging system that offers faster charging when plugged into a 240V outlet.

What additional accessories need to be installed for the 3kW On-Board Charger and In-Cab Heater and Defrost Kit?
Additional Required Accessories with a "Yes" below them must be installed for the kit listed in the left column. Please see your authorized Polaris Dealer for installation. 

*Only one High Voltage Busbar is needed on a vehicle. If you are installing multiple accessories that require the High Voltage Busbar, you only need to install one High Voltage Busbar. For aftersales accessory installation, first determine if the machine is already equipped with the High Voltage Busbar. 

WEATHER

Can it handle extreme temperatures?
Much like a gas-powered vehicle, the RANGER XP Kinetic is designed to operate below 0°F. In cold environments, it is recommended to keep the vehicle plugged in for either a short period before or continuously during storage to allow the vehicle to warm the batteries for high vehicle performance at initial operation.

The batteries are also designed to warm up while not being charged, but there may be reduced performance for a short period until the batteries are warm. This is not dissimilar from a typical gas-powered vehicle’s warm up characteristics.

RANGER XP Kinetic has also been rigorously tested in extreme heat. The vehicle has multiple solutions to ensure the systems remain operable in extreme conditions. In extreme cases, the vehicle may restrict performance to protect internal componentry.

Can I drive it through water?
Yes, the RANGER XP Kinetic is designed to be driven through water at a depth up to its floorboard. The batteries, electrical systems and other components are enclosed for protection against water, dust and debris. It can also be washed and cleaned following the same guidelines published in Polaris Owner’s Manuals.

CHARGING

How can I charge XP Kinetic at home or on my property? What are the charge times?
XP Kinetic comes standard with a combined Level 1/Level 2 mobile EV charge cord that can be plugged directly into any 120V or 240V outlet.

For faster charge times, a 240V outlet is required. It can greatly reduce charge times and get you back to work sooner. Our partnership with Qmerit^sm has made the upgrade easier than ever. Some state and local entities offer publicly available incentives for charging infrastructure upgrades.

Yes, every certified Polaris dealership will have the capability to service your XP Kinetic. We will work closely with the dealers to facilitate proper training for their technicians to service XP Kinetic.

Are parts different than other Polaris RANGERS?
The RANGER XP Kinetic shares many of its parts with other Polaris vehicles.

CAPABILITY

Is XP Kinetic the same as an XP 1000?
XP Kinetic is built on the same architectural platform as the XP 1000 we all know and trust. However, its chassis has been adapted to handle the unique demands of an EV powertrain and batteries.

How much power does it produce?
XP Kinetic produces an industry-leading 110 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque.

Is the 4WD system on an electric SxS the same as a gas-powered SxS?
Yes, the RANGER XP Kinetic features Polaris’ on-demand AWD system.

Can it haul more?
XP Kinetic can easily tow 2,500lbs, just like the XP 1000. However, it can carry an industry-leading 1,250lbs in the rear cargo box—25% more than any other side-by-side, so you can finish the job in fewer trips and drive efficiently around the property.

*Range estimates based on manufacturer data on typical customer driving usage and conditions. Actual range varies based on conditions such as external environment, weather, speed, cargo loads, rates of acceleration, vehicle maintenance, and vehicle usage. These range estimates are based off an operator driving a vehicle from 100% state of charge at 25mph on flat ground in moderate temperatures. Range varies on several factors, including weather, cargo loads, terrain conditions, driving habits, and battery state of charge.

**Charge times are estimates based on manufacturer generated simulations. Charging time decreases as battery reaches full capacity. Results may vary based on wall outlet amperage, EVSE, vehicle chargers, outside temperature and battery state of charge.
