This makes a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon look like a bargain

50-60k for a side by side is insane, just like 100k for a 1500 truck, I know there are the 1% that don't care how stupid these prices are, but these companies won't survive without average people being customers.

The four door side by sides always looked wrong to me. They are now the size of cars. So you have something with the wheelbase of a Wrangler/Bronco, the price of a Wrangler/Bronco, but not the convenience, comfort, or cargo space of a Wrangler/Bronco, all on a vehicle that is not street legal in most of the country.

It’s crazy to see how ATV’s have evolved. As a kid I had a 1996 Yamaha 350 Big Bear, I thought that was huge lol. My dad has now, still runs great.

quality of a toy, price of a bronco ,sure thing

I only came here for the comments...they didn't disappoint 😅

These are for wealthy land-owners who have $100k + pickups, so this $50k Fisher Price quality toy ain't no thing to them. I worked in the powersports industry until early 2020 and $30-35k was the top end price of a factory side by side, so prices have crept up significantly. This thing seems louder than the Ranger Northstar and I think it's because this SUV style cab allows all the engine noise from under the cargo area to reverb through the entire interior. That would get tiring very quickly.

Without even watching the video, no it’s not. You’ve got to pay even more money just to get it to the trailhead! Again, not your fault it’s so expensive, good content!

An old jeep liberty with 33’s and some aftermarket shocks will still slay that thing. those polaris’ are neat for the first 5 minutes, then it feels like youre riding in a lawnmower

It would be worth it when you consider it’s capabilities. However, the issue comes in that you’re going to need a $60K+ truck to tow it to trails in places where they’re not street legal. If you’re just using it for ranch work, then you still have to get it from the dealer to your home. When you factor in road trips and regular commutes, it makes more economic sense to just get a 2500 series truck and get an old, used ATV/UTV I used to love going on ATV rides with all my friends before I had my driver’s license. I’d love to do that again, but with how insane the prices are, it probably won’t be in the near future when you consider I need to buy a truck or vehicle capable of hauling it and I need to own a home to store it. I have a pretty decent job and no kids, but I need to plan around affording those other things first.

When will they release the Platinum trim?

Might as well get a Jimny for half the price

The North star is Polaris, so this is a Polaris Polaris? Creative nomenclature.

6:04 it's like a truck from the 90s-2000s with a touchscreen. What a concept...

You’re only really getting the shell on the back with the ability to fold down the rear seats for more storage. You can outfit a general or ranger with everything else that was shown. 50-60k is insane!

Maybe on the east coast where there are SXS only off-road parks, but these things make little sense in Colorado/Utah. 1) Colorado and Utah keep banning them 2) a stock highway legal 4wd vehicle has no trouble on most Colorado/Utah trails. With that said, I want a SXS for TN, but won’t ever take it west.

I think the main thing was to make it dust free. I have had multiple SxS and I personally would never pay this much for one but do see where some might.

They are out of their minds.

This vehicle is a real head scratcher, but I am glad they took the risk of making it

Before I watch the video the answer is no

Are you freaking kidding me!! They can rot on the dealer floor for all I care! That’s nuts!

That more expensive than my 20 tundra. Insanity

Would love to see the Can AM competitor. I believe they produce a better quality product. Love their rotary engine.

There's been an ever widening gulf between the price and intrinsic value of vehicles for several years now. But this unit has to have reached unprecedented levels. A final gasp of decadence before a major, long overdue correction in the vehicular markets, and the broader economy hopefully.

Gotta love that “You Know what” bar!

Definitely for a rich ranch owner that wants to stay out the elements and ride their grandkids around. Not for the average Joe

I bought a new base General 2 seater Ride Command Edition for a little over $20K in early '19. I have since added about $20K in upgrades and add-ons, (including a high-end plow system, & not counting the price of labor to install all of it). So when comparing it to this 4 seater, with post covid inflation in mind, the price isn't as insane as it first appears. (most other things have nearly doubled in price too)

We bought a side by side when they first came out. I can’t believe they put power windows and HVAC in a side by side. Insanity. Like a golf cart with cruise control.

Tomy have seen your omega x swass watches really good ones

What’s the GVWR if it’s got seating for 5 and space for gear?

That is just crazy. I would go Jeep Wrangler or Ford Bronco anytime above this, given this is the same price. And I agree with Roman about that shifter. Many years ago I rented a Polaris, and that shifter was the same POS as what is in here. Guess work which mode you are in...

A 4x4 Kei truck would make more sense than this. Cheaper, similar size, closed cab, easy to modify .

Nice watch Tommy!

Hell no

Looks like a nice toy, but In addition to the $50-60K for the Polaris, you also need a minimum 5K lb rated tandem axle trailer and at least a 1/2 ton pickup truck (preferably 4x4) to tow the Polaris to where you want to use it. Hummmm...

I would def opt for the bronco. Way more versatile for the money! But most sXS are that way now for a decent one.

If you have a sheet metal brake, welder, and some lexan you could make a cab for a cheaper SxS.

Panel gap on tailgate was horrendous

Who drives an enclosed non racing side by side with a helmet? Would you do this in a Jeep Wrangler?

Buy a 2024 Rubicon…it’s amazing!

We have the Polaris in the UK,Our Famers love them.

It would be nice for states like NV that have a network of trails that you navigate for a long time.

This is perfect. I’ll haul it to the trail with my Wrangler and then “overland” three miles down the trail

WOW, it's crazy how far "ATV's" have come since my Honda 350X 3 wheeler back in 1986. But before I'd buy that I would rather have the little Honda truck that you just showed a few episodes back.

It's expensive but it makes some sense for driving around farm land. Put miles on the side by side not the daily.

This would be a good option where I live as you can drive pretty much anything on 98% of the roads.

I have a camp in Elk County, Pennsylvania. You can ride on roads!

Its made for norther canada and places like utah with lots of trail in the north it could be a life line if it werent so expensive maybe release a bare bones north edition with the cab and hvac system

From Minnesota, home of Polaris. Love the looks - thinking taken from their defense division - but the price? Rather Japanese Mini-Trucks (KEI)

Polaris still only gives you a six month warranty too.

The overall design looks great, off-road ride quality will be awesome, however still rather small, quality lacking in some areas, not street legal in many states. In conclusion I’m not sure what segment of the off-road market this Polaris is aimed at, perhaps a few ultra-wealthy guys at the gun club to poodle around in. Museum piece.

I'd buy a couple of them, but the dealbreaker for me is no push button start.

For 50 k you get something that sounds like a angry chainsaw

The only people forking out $50k+ for these are people that have OHRV resorts/parks nearby with gates intentionally too narrow for on highway off roaders. I expect rental companies to buy up most of these as they are easy to rent at a premium to all the flat landers who show up in their "never seen dirt" jeeps, broncos, and tacomas.

under load that thing sounds horrible

Can you install some big fat tires on that thing?

Giant landowners might buy this

We'll need a video showing how it performs in the snow, especially deeper snow where the clearance is put to the test. Climate control is great, but if it can't get out on the trails in the winter, it's just going to sit in the garage.

Yes it does. And can ride them on the road here in Louisiana there street legal.

It’s the right price for the right buyer. I’d be more willing to beat on this than a Bronco. Cause in the end, the Polaris will be cheaper to repair and go further. Further more Polaris adds “blanks” in the dash so you can add lights or other things. Do you really need helmets in this machine lol jkjk I want to see more! Epic trip????

Really almost 40k to 50k and maybe 60k for that side by side wow what the freak is going on sure it may be something you need for ranch or large property but man that’s just outrageous on the other hand does make sense if some of those trails or roads can’t fit your 70k to 100k suvs or trucks on those back trails wow!!!

A rubber belt as a transmission. Funny how there was one in the back (bed) at the ready. Put the new XD steel belt transmission in this machine at the same price point. or a real gear on gear transmission. Similar to what is in the new CAN AM sport machine.

I don't understand how there is enough of a market for this to be such a thing. If it cost $20k I could see it being somewhat popular among the middle upper class, but they've priced these things so high that they have to sell them for even more because of economies of scale and only ranchers could ever justify one of these, presuming they wouldn't just prefer to have a fleet of old wranglers.

You also have to factor in what the insurance for this is compared to a jeep. Is the maintenance parts changing out cause of trail damage cheaper than a jeep? Talking new to new. There is a lot more factors to consider than just it costs as much as a new jeep.

So Polaris is now jumping into the game of making trucks or jeeps or whatever you want to call them. It's basically a vehicle. I can throw blinkers on that and drive. That as my daily.

Holy cow! Almost $60k? It’s noisey and cramped looking , plus with wearing helmets it appears not safe? Maybe tippy? UTVs are ridiculously priced imo…less metal and mass than a an actual 4x4 vehicle …almost toy like! I recently bought a 23 Bronco Sasquatch and was torn to spend that kind of money on a vehicle ….i do love the Bronco and its capabilities with features …..but no way would I spend that much on something like this UTV..

I don’t get side by side pricing. Just rented one. It’s half a car (maybe) at the same price (or more).

Wondering how many people buy these?

is this a joke

And the best thing about this is after only a few thousand miles you need to rebuild the whole engine because Polaris.

At that price I want it to come street legally from the factory.

At that price I would not even look at the side by side, I would rather get the bronco, jeep, ranger or the colorado. :)

Get rid of the tent, have the roof pop up. I’d still prefer a Bronco.

I think this vehicle is awesome, but it will have to find a niche to fit into. Polaris markets it as an overlander, but you have to tow it to the area you're going to camp in. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

It would be cool to have one, but at $60k fully loaded that, that’s insane. Only the rich would buy something like that. IMO, needs more power.

Did he say Air Suspension!? 😂😂😂

My first thought is no! Peace, Love!!

You would have to be out of your damn mind to buy this thing.

I ride with guys who have side by sides and every once in awhile they roll them over or flip them on their side. Do that on this fancy machine and it's probably totaled

The Peugeot makes an appearance!

So I want to see you guys take this and ,bronco ,jeep and a normal sxs on a long test. See, we're it fails and wins

Tommy “price at the end” Roman “yea it costs about the same as a new jeep wrangler” hahahaha More Andre and Tommy less Roman

price 😳 no way! i have 2022 yamaha wolverine x2 and 18 was to much! i would buy a 2 door sasquatch pacakge bronco before i even walked into a polaris dealer. i see you bought an extra belt for it already?

If it was a 6×6 it might have been worth that price tag!

sorry for a side by side thats just to much. maybe IF it was road legal but I'm going to need another vehicle to tow it plus I still got to load it with goodies. id rather buy a bronco.

big toys for rich boys!

Does Polaris ask you to wear the helmets?

Oh man. 60k. Paid 64 for a 20th Rubi…. Nah. This is for a special type of owner who LOVES SXS driving or really wants to be different. I can’t fathom a world where it makes sense to spend that.

Fatwa against the shifter :D

Very expensive for something that its illegal on the road, you could pay to make it legal. A old Jeep its a better option.

Rental unit for backcountry tours perhaps...I can't see many people affording these🤷

Seeing as you need to have something to tow this thing, just buy an actual rig.

5:16 it looks very...top heavy with small wheels. and calling that shelf in the back "luxury" is more than a stretch. Really weird that we've gotten to this point- where ever increasing regulations for on-road vehicles, and the consequent need to sell into the soccermom market to make it all worthwhile, have gotten so far beyond what a simple 4x4 used to be that we end up embiggening ATVs to fill the void.

No, it's not worth it unless you are a 'status seeker'. Even more laughable that it's a crew cab - that way 4 rich posers can act like they're tough outdoors-people.

I live in Ohio, but I'm guessing that would be great in northern Canada or Alaska.

1:46 “Four corner air suspension”??? 🤔 That “air” looks an awfully lot like a coiled steel spring which has been powder-coated red!

Deep pocket.

These things are getting all of our offroad trails closed throughout the country. See what just happened in Moab UT, and what is happening in the Mojave in CA. Why draw more attention to them? Side by sides are swarming all over the trails in Colorado and Arizona too, and the drivers everywhere drive like nutjobs--they all think they are racing the baja 1000.

$50k SXS at 9% interest rate 😂
