Electric, Quiet, Off-Roader

If you want to do some fun off-roading that doesn't destroy the peace and quiet of nature, take a look at the all-electric, 4-wheel drive UTV, the Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic.  Polaris is a nearly $10 billion off-roading and snowmobile company based in Medina, Minnesota. Their new XP Kinetic is getting a lot of buzz as a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV).  The company says this vehicle can go virtually anywhere.  It's been specifically engineered for electrification with a battery and electric motor replacing the fuel tank and gas-powered engine of previous versions of the UTV.  The vehicle has no grill because it has no radiator. In the front there are LED lights between the headlights.  The lightbar doubles up as a gauge to let you know the amount of charge the car has taken and how much more it needs to top-off.

Tech Specs

The vehicle can haul up to 2,500 pounds.  The electric motor delivers 110 hp and 140 lb.-ft. of torque, which Polaris says is double the power of any gas-powered utility vehicle on the market.  The Ranger XP Kinetic comes in two trims:  Premium and Ultimate.  Ultimate has a 29.8 battery; Premium has a 14.9 battery.  The vehicle has a tilting cargo box that holds 1,250 pounds.  Range on a charge is 80 miles.  There's 14 inches of ground clearance.  The vehicle can drive over rocks, through fields and navigate narrow trails.  Everything is waterproof, even the electronics panel.  After driving through dirt, it can be hosed out.  And the off roader operates with such low noise that you can hear the birds as you drive along.  Starting price is a cool $24,999.
