Ranger 500
Designed with practicality at its core, the Ranger 500 is built to support a wide range of everyday tasks with minimal effort. Its compact size and responsive handling make it particularly well-suited to properties where space is limited, but productivity is essential.
Polaris’ ProStar 567cc engine focuses on low-end torque for smooth, controlled power delivery when towing equipment or carrying heavy loads, paired with the Polaris CVT transmission, for consistent performance in all working conditions.
The Ranger 500 is equipped with a gas-assist tipping cargo bed capable of carrying up to 227kg – a practical alternative to manual handling tasks. Combined with its 680kg towing capacity, it is well-equipped to manage a variety of maintenance jobs.
Ease of use is central to the Ranger 500’s design with intuitive controls and a straightforward drive system, making it accessible even for first-time UTV owners. Maintenance is also simple, with easily-accessible service points to help reduce downtime, backed by a two-year warranty as standard.
The Ranger 500 is ready to work straight from the dealership, available in Stealth Grey (Tractor T1b homologation). It will arrive in dealerships in late Spring.
