Is This the Ultimate Adventure Side-by-Side? | Polaris XPEDITION XP 5 NorthStar Review

UTV Underground

We spent three months beating up the 2025 Polaris XPEDITION XP 5 NorthStar across SoCal’s toughest terrain — from rocky mountain switchbacks to blistering desert washes — and we’ve got one word for you: impressed.

In this detailed shakedown, we put Polaris’ most premium adventure UTV through its paces, testing everything from its plush FOX® suspension and 200+ mile range to the comfort of its enclosed HVAC cab and the tech-packed RIDE COMMAND system. Whether you’re building basecamp, scouting film locations, or just getting way the hell off the grid, this machine delivers SUV-like luxury with true off-road capability.

✅ Enclosed cab with heat + A/C
✅ JBL® audio + GPS navigation
✅ Modular seating + 600-lb dumping cargo box
✅ Quiet, capable, and built to explore deep

Hit play to see what sets the NorthStar apart from everything else in the side-by-side world — and why it might just be the ultimate off-road rig for work and play.
