2025 Polaris RZR Pro Lineup Debuts With New Features, Improved Comfort
Polaris is once again pushing the envelope for the 2025 model year, updating and upgrading the RZR Pro line to distinguish it as the class-defining machine it has always been. While the powertrain goes unchanged, Polaris took leaps to make the Pro R line more comfortable, visually recognizable, and even better to drive. There’s a bunch to dissect here, so let’s dive into the refreshed RZR Pro line and see what has changed for the 2025 model year.
It’s not like fans of the RZR Pro were demanding several improvements. The 2024 machine has a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine (a class exclusive and the largest available) that makes an outstanding 225 horsepower, and the combination of MaxLink and DYNAMIX suspension makes for a beast of a machine that goes almost unmatched. For 2025, Polaris took any customer feedback they’d received and used that to create an even more comfortable and usable RZR Pro.

“Revived, Refined, Relentless.”
That’s the tagline for Polaris’ 2025 RZR Pro lineup, and it stands to uphold the three pillars of the model’s mid-cycle refresh. The notion of “threes” goes further, too, with the branching out of the Pro line from one model with sub-trims to three individual models (Pro XP, Pro S, and Pro R) each with their own three sub-trims (Sport, Premium, and Ultimate). While pricing is still on the heftier side, this does a good job of democratizing Polaris’ top-dog performance rig and making the differences both easier to understand and more justifiable in the pecking order.
Let’s start with the foundation on which the RZR Pro lineup is based, and that’s the trims. Notable improvements over the 2024 model are the new colored instrumentation and fresh air ducting, and it still gets Walker Evans Velocity Shocks and a mold-in-color body. Premium models are one step up and add a color-matched interior, Ride Command, and a premium painted body. At the top rung is the Ultimate trim which now treats riders to the Rockford Fosgate Stage 4 Audio system and animated LED lighting. Ultimate machines still get Dynamix semi-active suspension, a roof, and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. It’s worth noting that while they all share a powertrain, many trims receive different model-specific changes, which we’ll detail below.
RZR Pro Lineup Explained
Let’s start with the 2025 RZR Pro XP. This is the foundation on which the Pro line is based, and the most accessible way to get into the high-performance RZR line. In addition to what’s listed above, Sport also gets 30-inch tires. The Sport trim starts at $23,999 for the two-seat version and $26,999 for the four-seater. Premium pricing jumps to $27,999 for the two-seater and $30,000 for the four-seater, and these add. The Ultimate runs $33,999 for the two-seater or $36,999 for the four-seater.

Next up is the Pro S, which is the replacement for the outgoing Turbo R. It adds 32-inch tires and can be had in its least expensive form at $26,999 for the two-seat Sport or $29,999 for the four-seat sport. The Premium will cost you $30,000 for the two-seat model or $33,999 for the four-seat model, and the Pro S Ultimate is either $36,999 or $39,999 depending on whether you want two or four seats.
2025 RZR Pro S
The most premium performance Polaris RZR for 2025 is the Pro R. These add six-point retractable harnesses, and a color-matched interior even at the Sport level, and pricing is $34,999 and $38,999 for the two and four-seat models, respectively. There’s no Premium trim for the Pro R, but the Ultimate comes with even more goodies like color-matched beadlock wheels, heated and ventilated seats, a painted front fascia, and specialized Pro R badging.

But wait, there’s more!
An interesting note is in regards to pricing. The 2025 Pro XP starts $500 less than the 2024 model, the Pro S a full $1,000 less than the Turbo R it replaces, and the Pro R a whopping $3,000 less than its version. While some trims have gotten more expensive (the Pro R Ultimate is $2,000 more expensive for 2025, for example), this shows that Polaris has been paying attention to the perpetually rising costs and realized it needed to reel back to keep buyers interested. Not everyone can afford a $25,000 machine, after all.
Needless to say, Polaris has continued to push the limits of what this category of powersports machine was once thought to be capable of. The added comfort, styling changes, and wider availability of accessories and models at different prices shows Polaris isn’t messing around, instead keeping its right foot planted and working to make the RZR Pro lineup even better than before. We can’t wait to try them out.
