What’s New for the 2025 Polaris RZR XP?
The RZR XP received its major platform redesign for the 2024 model year, so the 2025 lineup focuses on equipment, pricing, colors and graphics rather than significant mechanical changes.
The most meaningful upgrade is found on the Premium trim, which now includes the seven-inch touchscreen powered by Polaris RIDE COMMAND. The system provides GPS navigation, trail maps and Group Ride tracking that can operate without cellular service when the vehicle is equipped with the appropriate Group Ride hardware.
The Ultimate trim adds a factory-installed 4,500-pound winch. This joins its existing RIDE COMMAND display, Rockford Fosgate Stage 3 audio system, roof and rear camera to create the most comprehensively equipped RZR XP in the 2025 lineup.
Polaris also reduced the starting price across the three trim levels. The two-seat RZR XP Sport now starts at $19,999, putting the core 114-horsepower platform below the $20,000 mark before destination charges, dealer fees and accessories.
2025 Polaris RZR XP Colors
New colors and graphics help distinguish the 2025 models:
- Sport: Storm Gray with Radiant Green accents or Polaris Blue
- Premium: Storm Gray with Red accents and matching springs
- Ultimate: Storm Gray and Lime or Polaris Blue and Orange
The Ultimate color packages include matching suspension springs, seats and front bumper accents.

114-Horsepower ProStar Engine
Every 2025 RZR XP is powered by Polaris’ 999cc ProStar 1000 Gen 2 twin-cylinder engine. Its claimed 114 horsepower is delivered through a Polaris PVT continuously variable transmission with High, Low, Neutral, Reverse and Park.
The engine was introduced with the redesigned RZR XP platform and was engineered to provide responsive naturally aspirated power for wooded trails, technical terrain and recreational desert riding. It does not produce the output of the turbocharged RZR Pro XP or the larger RZR Pro R, but its 64-inch chassis makes it better suited to tighter trails.
Our 2024 Polaris RZR XP review provides more detail about how the current-generation engine, lower gearing, suspension and cockpit perform on the trail. We also tested the platform in open sand for our RZR XP dune review.
Stronger RZR XP Chassis and Driveline
The 2025 model carries over the chassis and driveline improvements introduced with the previous year’s redesign. Polaris says the chassis is 25 percent stronger than the preceding RZR XP platform.
A full-coverage skid plate helps protect the underside and powertrain, while the integrated tubular front bumper provides protection at the front of the vehicle. Polaris also redesigned the driveline with stronger half shafts, prop shaft and bearings.
Revised CVT mounting and ducting were developed to improve cooling and extend belt life. These changes are particularly relevant when the vehicle is subjected to slow technical riding, larger tires, heavy accessory loads or deep sand—all conditions that can create additional belt heat.
Walker Evans Suspension
The RZR XP uses Walker Evans Racing Needle shocks with dual-rate springs and adjustable compression damping. Polaris lists up to 20.5 inches of usable suspension travel, allowing the vehicle to absorb rocks, roots, ruts and repeated trail impacts while retaining the maneuverability of a 64-inch-wide chassis.
The two-seat model has a 90-inch wheelbase. The RZR XP 4 stretches the chassis to provide space for four occupants, with raised rear seating intended to improve passenger visibility.
The current XP remains an important part of the broader RZR family. It combines more performance and suspension capability than narrower trail models without the 72-inch width, additional weight and higher price of Polaris’ wide-open-terrain platforms. Its place in the evolution of the sport side-by-side is covered in our complete history of the Polaris RZR.
Redesigned RZR XP Interior
The current-generation cockpit uses a lower, sportier seating position with additional legroom and improved forward visibility. Solid half doors provide more coverage than the cutout-style doors used on some earlier RZR models, while self-draining floors help make cleanup easier after wet or muddy rides.
On four-seat models, the rear seats are elevated to improve the passengers’ view of the trail. The seating arrangement also helps rear occupants see over the front seats instead of looking directly into their backs.
A roof is available as an accessory on Sport and Premium models and comes standard on the Ultimate.

2025 RZR XP 1000 Sport
Starting at $19,999, the RZR XP Sport is the entry point into the current 64-inch, 114-horsepower platform. Standard equipment includes:
- 999cc ProStar 1000 Gen 2 engine
- 29-inch tires
- Walker Evans Racing Needle shocks
- LED headlights
- Illuminated in-cab switches
- 660-watt charging system
- Retractable three-point seat belts
The Sport is the logical choice for buyers who want the core engine, chassis and suspension package but intend to select their own navigation, roof, winch and audio equipment.
2025 RZR XP 1000 Premium
The RZR XP Premium starts at $21,999. It moves to 30-inch tires and adds the seven-inch RIDE COMMAND touchscreen as standard equipment.
RIDE COMMAND brings trail maps and GPS navigation directly into the dashboard. Its Group Ride functionality can also help riders track other members of their group in areas where cellular coverage is unavailable.
The Premium trim offers the most important navigation upgrade without requiring buyers to move all the way to the audio-equipped Ultimate.
2025 RZR XP 1000 Ultimate
Starting at $24,999, the RZR XP Ultimate bundles the lineup’s major comfort, recovery and technology features. Standard equipment includes:
- Seven-inch RIDE COMMAND touchscreen
- Rockford Fosgate Stage 3 audio
- Rear camera
- Poly roof
- 4,500-pound winch
- 900-watt charging system
- 30-inch tires
- Color-matched springs, seats and front bumper accents
The Ultimate is the most complete factory package and requires fewer immediate accessories for riders who want integrated navigation, audio, overhead protection and self-recovery equipment.
The 64-inch-wide RZR XP is offered in two- and four-seat configurations.
RZR XP Accessory Collections
Polaris organizes its RZR XP accessories into trail, mud, backcountry and all-season collections. Available equipment includes a RIGID 32-inch combination LED light bar, rock sliders, extended fender flares, aluminum and poly roofs, vented windshields and terrain-specific tires.
These packages do not change the underlying vehicle, but they give owners a starting point for configuring an XP around a particular riding environment. Buyers should account for accessory weight, electrical demand and tire size rather than treating every available accessory as necessary.
2025 Polaris RZR XP: Final Takeaway
The 2025 Polaris RZR XP is a refinement of the platform introduced one year earlier. Its 114-horsepower engine, 64-inch width, strengthened driveline and Walker Evans suspension remain unchanged, but the revised trim packages deliver more useful equipment at lower starting prices.
The Sport provides the least expensive path to the current RZR XP chassis. The Premium adds the feature many trail riders are most likely to use—integrated RIDE COMMAND navigation—while the Ultimate packages navigation, audio, a roof, rear camera and winch into one factory-equipped model.
For buyers comparing trims, the best choice depends on which accessories they already
