We spent some time behind the wheel of the all-new 2023 Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic at the Polaris production facility in Huntsville, Alabama. The all-electric side-by-side has copious power, is smooth, and quiet, with plenty of range for getting the job done. Check out all our photos of the day.

With 110 hp and 140 lb.-ft. of torque, the electric Ranger hustles.Jackson Cooper

It’s still a Ranger, though. A full 95 percent of Ranger accessories bolt directly to the Kinetic.Jackson Cooper

All of that extra power means the electric Ranger can haul an additional 250 pounds over the gas model.Jackson Cooper

In addition to being nearly silent, the Kinetic handles well. It has a lower center of gravity than the gas Ranger.Jackson Cooper

It still offers the same great ground clearance, suspension articulation, and water fording as the Ranger XP 1000.Jackson Cooper

Expect around 45 miles of range from the Premium model and 90 miles from the Ultimate.Jackson Cooper

We like the premium tailgate badge. Details matter.Jackson Cooper

If you don’t like the white livery, Polaris also offers a camouflage model.Jackson Cooper

Ride Command provides all the usual information, as well as a few Kinetic-specific metrics, including state of charge and range.Jackson Cooper

The Kinetic-specific gauges include a power/regenerative brake meter.Jackson Cooper

The Kinetic comes with three drive modes. Sport is hilariously quick. Eco smooths out the throttle for easy operation over rough terrain.Jackson Cooper

The Ranger Kinetic can recharge in as little as three hours with a Level 2 charger using the industry-standard J1772 coupler.Jackson Cooper

There’s auxiliary power in the bed for spreaders and sprayers.Jackson Cooper
