Polaris Xpedition: the adventure SSV all-terrain vehicle, versions and what to know beforehand
The Polaris Xpedition, available from 2024, is an adventure-class side-by-side vehicle (SSV) designed for long off-road journeys. It's a very new model, so there aren't many used examples on the market yet.
Xpedition in brief
The Xpedition is for those who want to embark on long off-road adventures with all the gear: a comfortable cabin, plenty of storage, navigation, and long-travel suspension. It's closer to adventure-style motorcycles than the workhorse Ranger.
Since the model is new, most are still in the hands of their first owners.
Versions
Several versions are available: the Xpedition ADV (with varying seating capacities) and higher-spec models with additional features like a roof, heating, lighting, and navigation. Differences mainly lie in the equipment and trim.
As the model is updated, when buying, check the specific year and trim of the vehicle.
Engine and transmission
It comes with around a 1000 cm³ twin-cylinder ProStar engine, producing about 100 hp (the exact figure depends on the version). The transmission is automatic, with selectable two- or four-wheel drive.
Exact specifications vary by version and year, so refer to the manufacturer's information and documents.
What to check when buying an Xpedition
Since this is new technology, the most important things are the warranty and service history. Check that all scheduled maintenance has been done and that the documents transfer to the new owner.
Test all the electronic features: the screen, navigation, lighting, and heating. Check for any error messages.
Inspect the suspension, frame, wheels, and brakes, especially if the car has been driven off-road. Look for any repairs or rust.
