Over the past year, the ATV market has literally been swept by a tsunami. Almost all inventories of new and used quads have been snapped up. Enthusiasts and a large number of new adepts have generated a strong demand for purchases. On the one hand, all this craze has created a scarcity of vehicles available for sale and shaken up the supply and demand ecosystem. On the other hand, it has created a breath of fresh air and enthusiasm in the ATV community.
While many manufacturers remain cautious and opt for the status quo for 2022, others are jumping on the bandwagon. This is the case for Polaris, which wants to adjust its lineup to better meet the needs of both novice and experienced ATV riders. Thus, its 2022 fleet includes :
– An all-new RANGER SP 570 that is specifically designed for families, landowners, ranchers and hunters that work hard and play hard. The new mid-size RANGER increases efficiency during tough jobs, allowing more time for fun with friends and family.
– The Sportsman 570 and limited edition XP 1000 ATVs come standard with a 7-inch touchscreen and the RIDE COMMAND system, featuring GPS navigation and communication technology that elevate the ATV riding experience.
– The GENERAL XP 1000 Trailhead Edition is loaded with top-of-the-line performance features and expanded overall trail capability. The newest GENERAL is the ultimate machine for outdoor enthusiasts looking for new destinations and wanting to raise the bar on adventure.
– The RZR 200 EFI is designed for the next generation of off-roaders, offering more power and capability to young riders and setting new benchmarks for safety features with RIDE CONTROL and Helmet Aware technology.
– The RZR full-size lineup receives a series of upgrades, including an in-dash trickle charging port that streamlines battery service and more efficient charging on RZR XP models, while the Pro XP Premium and Ultimate models receive enhanced ride comfort and protection from the elements with new door inserts.
– An all-new line of premium Rhino-Rack® storage solutions and accessories designed specifically for RANGER and GENERAL vehicles bring even more capacity and versatility to utility and sport-utility vehicles.
Now let’s take a closer look at what’s new in each of the families for 2022:

In addition, the RZR Pro XP Premium and Ultimate models receive new door inserts for added comfort and protection while riding. On the RZR Trail Premium model, Turf Mode has been added to provide a tighter turning radius in narrow switchbacks by unlocking the rear differential.
Along with these RZR model upgrades, the RZR Pro XP Sport will replace the RZR XP Turbo in the lineup. This will provide a significant increase in value with more power and improved performance. The RZR Pro XP Sport offers increased performance over its predecessor with 8% more horsepower and two inches of increased suspension travel.
