The 2026 Polaris RZR lineup brings a bold wave of redesigns, technology upgrades, and limited-edition models that push the boundaries of off-road performance. Building on decades of innovation, this year’s releases show why Polaris remains the leader in powersports engineering.
Alongside the redesigned RZR XP family, the debut of the new RZR XP S, and upgrades to the high-horsepower RZR PRO R, Polaris also introduces a striking limited-edition Calavera model to celebrate 10 years of Polaris in Mexico.

2026 Polaris RZR Lineup
2026 Polaris RZR XP
Redesigned Strength and Style
After more than a decade of rider feedback, the 2026 Polaris RZR XP returns with a dynamic redesign focused on durability, performance, and modern style. The new front fascia delivers a more aggressive stance highlighted by RZR Fang lights and a low-profile bull bumper inspired by the RZR PRO series. Under the bodywork, reinforced suspension mounts and a fully protected underbody improve strength and driveline longevity.
A re-geared reverse provides more torque and precise throttle control in tough terrain, while refined shift engagement ensures a smoother, more premium feel. The RZR XP Sport model is powered by a 114-horsepower ProStar 1000 engine, featuring WALKER EVANS Precision-Tuned shocks, 20 inches of usable travel, and 29-inch tires.
The RZR XP Ultimate model adds RIDE COMMAND, Rockford Fosgate® Stage 3 Audio, poly roof, 30-inch tires, and a 4,500-pound winch—all combining to deliver capability, comfort, and connectivity in one trail-ready package.

2026 Polaris RZR XP S
All-New 72-Inch Performance Platform
For riders demanding even greater width and control, the all-new 72-inch Polaris RZR XP S Sport debuts as the most durable trail machine the company has ever built. Sharing the same chassis and performance enhancements as the redesigned XP, the XP S adds a wider stance, 25 inches of suspension travel, and heavy-duty driveline upgrades for unshakable stability in open terrain.
Its reinforced prop shafts, 8-ball half shafts, and fully welded rear skid plate underscore the XP S’s trail toughness. Three selectable drive modes—Standard, Sport, and Rock—adapt throttle response to terrain conditions, while 32-inch Pro Armor Trekker tires, 2.5-inch WALKER EVANS Racing Velocity shocks, and 16 inches of ground clearance keep the ride composed over extreme obstacles.
The XP S Ultimate trim pushes technology and style even further, adding RIDE COMMAND, Rockford Fosgate® Stage 3 Audio, signature Fang accent lighting, a poly roof, and a 4,500-pound winch. Two color options—Sand Dune and Stealth Gray—complete the lineup.

Power Meets Technology
The flagship 2026 Polaris RZR PRO R Ultimate continues to set benchmarks in the high-performance desert and dune segment. The biggest update this year is a new vertical 10.4-inch RIDE COMMAND touchscreen—offering 52 square inches of display space, split-screen capability, and faster processing for smoother navigation and data access.
Powered by the naturally aspirated 225-horsepower ProStar Fury 2.0 engine, the RZR PRO R Ultimate features a 74-inch stance, a 104.5-inch wheelbase, and MaxLink suspension with 29 inches of usable travel. DYNAMIX DV semi-active suspension automatically adjusts shock response in real time, aided by triple-rate springs and updated shock calibration for better control across changing terrain.
Selectable drive modes optimize traction and responsiveness whether tackling dunes, desert whoops, or wide-open straights. Available in Indy Red, White Crystal, Super Graphite, and Purple Thunder, the PRO R Ultimate remains the gold standard in off-road performance.
