Let’s kick this off with the most obvious questions. How does the latest Ranger XP 1000, with a starting price of £13,399 ex VAT, fit in the 2018 Polaris model line-up?
Those with an eye to running costs will no doubt first look to the considerably less powerful 23.4hp Ranger Diesel HD. This retails for £12,299, whereas its twin, the 68hp petrol-powered Ranger XP 900 EPS, has a sticker price that starts at £12,199 (see profi 6/2013 for our Polaris XP 900 driving impression).
