Polaris RZR Pro XP Ultimate specifications
Polaris · Sport
Polaris raised the power over the years.
In a long-term test, Dirt Wheels reports that engine tuning, a larger water-cooled turbo and improved heat dissipation raised power from 168 to 181 hp, that the gears are much stronger and the transmission and clutching are tuned for the standard 30-inch tires, and that the Ultimate has 6-point retractable seat belts the testers call safe and comfortable.
At Glamis it was a blast, with aggressive Maxxis Coronado tires and great suspension.

2027 Polaris RZR Pro XP Ultimate compared to the RZR XP 1000 Sport
Polaris's own pages show this trim's 925cc turbocharged twin producing 181 hp against the RZR XP 1000's naturally aspirated 114 hp from a larger 999cc twin: a smaller, boosted engine outproducing a larger unboosted one, not a bigger-displacement upgrade.
That power gap tracks a $14,000 price gap before either model's destination charge, and this trim adds electronically controlled FOX Live Valve suspension, a 10.4-in touchscreen and a factory audio system the RZR XP 1000 Sport does not have.

It is a serious sport machine, and its asking price and power can intimidate first-time buyers.
2027 Polaris RZR Pro XP Ultimate specifications and price
How the Pro XP Ultimate drives
The Pro XP Ultimate is fast and can be made comfortable. Dirt Wheels says the Live Valve suspension and 30-inch tires paired with the turbocharged engine made acceleration out of a turn surprisingly fast, that softening the suspension made for a relatively comfortable ride that quickly tamed small whoops and chattery fire roads, and that the engine maintains rapid response at 181 hp.
For first-time buyers, the same test warns, both the price and the power may be intimidating.
