2010
Polaris Ranger EV UTV |
Wyoming, MN - The 2010 Model
Year has proved to be another exciting year for
Polaris. Many of their already class leading ATV
/ UTV models have received major updates and refinements
while many other manufacturers have decided to
maintain their existing line-up without making
any changes to the line-up. Polaris has recognized
the recent change in consumer demand for increased
value and functionality in these tough economical
times, so for 2010 Polaris expanded their Ranger
Line-up to include the all-new Polaris Ranger
400 and industry first electric powered Ranger
EV.
Over the past couple of years, the UTV / SxS
market has rapidly grown and the focus has always
been for bigger and more powerful units with
high end features but that always leads to a
higher price tag, which was no problem for consumers
just two years ago, but in just a short period
of time, the economy has taken a serious hit,
which quickly changed what consumers could afford,
so Polaris quickly responded with their new
mid-size value packed Ranger 400 & Ranger
EV models, which offer plenty of punch for a
lot less hit to the wallet.

The Polaris Ranger 400 & EV Mid Size
Class SxS offers the economy minded consumer
a great product at a budget price starting
at $7,999 MSRP |
The 2010 Polaris Ranger 400 and Ranger EV are
based on the same chassis, which are both slightly
smaller than the Ranger full-size models by
just a few inches, but their slightly smaller
size allows them to fit easily into the bed
of a full-size pickup truck, which eliminates
the need to pull a trailer and again reduces
the expense of ownership of these new Ranger
models.
The Polaris Ranger 400 is powered by a 455cc-carbureted
engine, which producs 29 HP, which is plenty
of power to propel the 1050lb Ranger 400 to
a class leading top speed of 40 mph, which is
amazingly within a few mph of top speed of many
other larger UTV models available on the market.
The Ranger 400 also comes with a Speed Key option,
which limits the top speed to 23mph with no
reduction in power. With plenty of power on
tap, the Ranger 400 has a 500 lb payload and
a 1250 lb towing capacity, which is plenty for
hauling items out on the trail or around the
farm or work site.
