Ranger XD 1500 NorthStar Edition

Designed with a lower gear ratio that delivers more low-end torque and limits top speed for smooth uphill climbs and steady handling in rocky, high-altitude terrain where every move counts.

Built for confidence in steep, rugged terrain—delivering the torque and control needed for hauling heavy loads at elevation.

Make your mark with signature badging and tinted windows on the RANGER XD 1500 Mountaineer—designed to keep the cab more comfortable when you're riding at elevation.

We’ve increased interior space with 2” more leg room than our other full-size UTVs, plus easier entry and exit for tasks like working fence lines. Adjustable seating and a telescopic steering wheel let’s you find the perfect fit for your height and riding preferences. 

Contoured seating has added bolstering for more comfort. A new center flip-down seat transforms into an arm rest with added cupholders for more convenience. 

An industry-leading 12” suspension travel, the ultra smooth engagement and quiet operation of the STEELDRIVE transmission, and chassis improvements deliver the smoothest ride of any RANGER we’ve ever built. A longer wheelbase delivers better stability in rough terrain for confident handling. 

The heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system offers 5 different air flow settings and a recirculation setting to draw air from inside the cab instead of outside for faster, more efficient heating and cooling. 

Standard with the Ultimate trim, integrated JBL audio speakers deliver precise audio clarity and premium sound. Run AM/FM radio or connect to Bluetooth via the RIDE COMMAND infotainment system.

  The 7” Display, powered by RIDE COMMAND, delivers built‑in GPS navigation with access to over 1.3 million miles of trail maps, Group Ride and other unique features—even without cell service—so you can ride with confidence and tackle jobs with ease. 

A rear work light offers added lighting over the cargo box for early morning or late night tasks. Available on Ultimate and Mountaineer Trims. On the inside, an overhead switch panel provides quick and convenient access for additional lighting or accessory add-ons.

RIDE COMMAND+ delivers upgraded connected insights including vehicle health, maintenance status, and remote vehicle monitoring through the Polaris App, so you can ride—and walk away—with peace of mind. Available on select models with a subscription.

Enjoy convenient 12V cargo box power to run accessories or sprayers.

Our industry-exclusive STEELDRIVE transmission features 100% steel constructed belt. It's designed to withstand heavier loads and require less maintenance than the  rubber belt design commonly found in other UTVs. Plus, it's fully sealed and liquid cooled for maximum durability and longevity.

STEELDRIVE is electronically controlled to deliver outstanding drivability. Enjoy smooth, predictable throttle engagement and precise low-speed control when backing up to trailers, navigating rough terrain, or spraying a fence line.

Easily shift between drive, park and reverse gears with a consistent, predictable feel and less effort. The fully sealed design reduces operating noise for a quieter, more enjoyable ride.

For added control when driving uphill, Hill Assist engages the transmission to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when you let off the brakes or gas. Downhill, the transmission remains engaged to assist in controlling descent.*
