The 2014 Polaris RANGER 570 and RANGER CREW 570 brought the company’s 567cc ProStar engine to its midsize utility lineup. Replacing the previous 500-class models, the new RANGERs offered 40 horsepower, a quieter rear-engine configuration and updated transmissions while retaining the compact dimensions and practical work capability that defined Polaris’ midsize platform.
The two-seat RANGER 570 joined the RANGER 400, RANGER 800 Midsize and electric RANGER EV for 2014. The four-seat RANGER CREW 570 provided the same basic powertrain and utility features on a longer chassis with a second row of seating.
This article covers the original 2014 models. Polaris continued developing the 567cc midsize platform for more than a decade, eventually replacing the RANGER SP 570 name with the RANGER 600 for 2027.
2014 Polaris RANGER 570 Engine
Both models were powered by a liquid-cooled, 567cc ProStar single-cylinder engine producing a claimed 40 horsepower. Polaris said that represented 25 percent more power than the previous 500cc midsize models.
The four-stroke engine used dual overhead camshafts, four valves and electronic fuel injection. It had originally appeared in the RZR 570 before Polaris adapted it for the utility-focused RANGER platform.
Moving the engine behind the seat helped reduce noise in the passenger compartment. Polaris also introduced a revised transmission intended to provide easier and smoother shifting.
Compact Midsize RANGER Chassis
The RANGER 570 used Polaris’ midsize chassis, which was smaller and easier to maneuver than the company’s full-size RANGER models. Its 58-inch width made it easier to park, store and transport while still providing side-by-side seating for two adults.
The suspension combined MacPherson struts with eight inches of travel at the front and dual A-arm independent rear suspension with nine inches of travel. Five-position rear spring-preload adjustment allowed owners to compensate for passengers or cargo.
A 73-inch wheelbase and relatively low vehicle weight helped the two-seat model maneuver around barns, fields, hunting property and tighter trails. Ground clearance measured 10 inches.
AWD and VersaTrac Turf Mode
Polaris equipped both versions with On-Demand True All-Wheel Drive. The system automatically engaged the front wheels when the rear wheels lost traction, then returned to two-wheel drive when additional traction was no longer required.
VersaTrac Turf Mode unlocked the rear differential to make tighter turns and reduce damage to grass or other sensitive surfaces. The combination allowed the RANGER 570 to transition between lawns, pastures, muddy work areas and uneven trails.
Payload, Cargo and Towing Capacity
The two-seat 2014 RANGER 570 had a rated payload capacity of 1,000 pounds. The RANGER CREW 570 increased the payload rating to 1,250 pounds to accommodate the additional passengers.
Both models provided:
- 500-pound cargo-box capacity
- 1,250-pound towing capacity
- Standard two-inch hitch receiver
- Lock & Ride cargo system
- Nine-gallon fuel capacity
A higher-output stator supplied a claimed 29 percent more electrical power than the previous midsize platform, supporting accessories such as additional lighting, winches, heaters and cab equipment.
2014 Polaris RANGER 570 Colors and EPS Models
The standard RANGER 570 was offered in Sage Green, Solar Red and Polaris Pursuit Camo. A Gold Mist Limited Edition added electronic power steering.
The RANGER CREW 570 was available in Sage Green, Solar Red and Polaris Pursuit Camo, while a Burgundy Metallic Limited Edition included EPS. These Limited Edition models marked the first availability of power steering in Polaris’ midsize RANGER family.

The 2014 RANGER 570 was an important step in the evolution of Polaris’ midsize utility lineup. Its 567cc ProStar engine remained the foundation of subsequent RANGER 570 and SP 570 models, although later generations received increased power, greater towing capacity and extensively revised chassis designs.
