There’s 1″ more ground clearance for the S, SL, and SLR, and the audio system has larger speakers.

We tested the electric Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic in 2022, but the setting was limited. Writer Harvey Briggs drove it at Road America’s short off-road course, surrounded by a world-class racetrack. This time, Polaris showcased not only the UTV’s off-road abilities on more organic terrain, but we also experienced the debut of Polaris’ off-road EV charging network.

Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic

Road America may be famous for its 4-mile road course, but tucked away at the eastern edge of the complex is a gnarly off-road park that’s been used to test the mettle of everything from Wranglers and Broncos to Raptors. Last week, we ran those trails in something very different, the 2023 Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic.

Hoonigan: Jump Cuts

Hoonigan: Jump Cuts

To give their old workshop a proper send-off, Hoonigan sent off-road champ RJ Anderson into the streets and sand of Long Beach, California in their modded Polaris RZR Pro R and let him run wild. Along the way, he showed off the UTV’s ample suspension by jumping over a highway and two-wheeling it through a garage.

Limited to just 300 units, this special edition of the Polaris Slingshot 3-wheeler includes quilted comfort seats, a Ripper Series wind deflector, a color-matched Slingshade roof and rear fender, and interior accent lighting.

Driven: 2019 Slingshot SLR

Thanks to the guys at The Brand Amp and iMotorsports, we got to spend a week living with the Polaris Slingshot SLR as our daily driver. This fast, agile, and kind of bonkers open-air 2-seater is a blast to drive, and is definitely the most fun you can have on three wheels.
