Evolution and consolidation is a tag that sits comfortably with key Polaris updates for 2018.
The Polaris UTE was launched in 2014 and was designed from the ground up for Australian farms. Since the launch, UTE has continued to be evolved to meet the demands of the Australian farming community, indicative of Polaris tireless development of new and existing models.
UTE 570 HD EPS features practical farming solutions with a front rack and large 180kg tipping dump box at the rear. Built on a longer wheel base for better load distribution and superior ascent and descent characteristics, the all-wheel-drive (AWD) UTE is also switchable to 2WD and includes Four-Wheel-Descent Control (4WDC) with engine braking for added confidence and Electronic Power Steering (EPS). The Heavy Duty suspension componentry includes sealed suspension bushes and splines plus grease nipples for ease of maintenance.
For 2018 model year, UTE 570 HD EPS now features VersaTrac. Also found in many of the Ranger Utility SXS vehicles, VersaTrac is colloquially known as Turf Mode which enables the wheels to rotate independently of one another, allowing tighter turns and reduced "tearing" of delicate surfaces such as fine turf or compacted pathways. Switchable from the handlebar, riders can toggle from Turf Mode to 2WD (locked rear diff) to AWD to 4WDC. UTE is also finished in an inspiring brighter "Velocity blue" colour which is not painted but within the molded body work to keep it looking good for longer in a working environment.
Polaris is the clear market leader for off-road vehicles in Australia with an extensive ROPS equipped range, seating configurations start with the unique single-seat ACE which is rated to carry 261kg and with a towing capacity of 680kg. ACE provides a compact and narrow footprint for extraordinary access and maneuverability plus ROPS and car like controls. It really is the starting point for Polaris Safety Technologies which underpin the entire Polaris Side x Side range.
The Ranger series of Side x Side utility vehicles provides a vast selection of models to satisfy virtually every imaginable requirement and with seating from 2 to 6 seats, Petrol, Diesel and Electric, 2 wheel-drive and All-Wheel-Drive plus VesaTrac. With innovations such as 4WDC, Polaris has eliminated some of the criticisms from owners operating in hilly terrain levelled at some other Side x Side brands.
