Brand new model of the best-selling quad is at GroenTechniek Holland

For many green professionals, quads have become indispensable in carrying out their work. Polaris Benelux is showing its latest models at the GroenTechniek Holland trade fair in Biddinghuizen. The entire range of quads from the leading American multinational will be included, including two new versions of the Sportsman 570, which are particularly suitable for heavy outdoor tasks. But also present are the real workhorses of the Ranger line, both the gasoline, diesel and electric versions.

Polaris is imported into the Benelux by Jeegee Motors BV. Ron Betist, manager marketing Benelux at Polaris ORV: "We make quads for leisure activities as well as utility quads. Our quads are widely used in the agricultural, forestry and landscaping sectors. The Polaris Sportsman is even the best-selling quad in the world."

At the show, the new 6×6 and X2 of the 570 versions of this model will be presented. These feature a huge payload and high tractive power. "In all areas, the bar has been raised. For example, the already legendary maneuverability has been improved even more and performance has increased. Combined with the robust new design, this means even more driving pleasure. And visitors can experience this for themselves, because we have an exhibition area available where the quads can be tried out." Both versions now have improved suspension for greater comfort and ergonomics. The 570 has also received a reversible pillion seat, suitable for both solo and duo rides, as well as a turf mode and a 181 kg tipping bucket. Quality improvements have been made to the 6×6 version, which will significantly reduce service calls.

Betist is experiencing a lot of interest in the electric-powered side-by-side. "Our Ranger XP Kinetic has attracted a lot of interest since its introduction in September 2023. Green companies, the recreation sector and government agencies are keen to work as sustainably as possible, and so people are very enthusiastic about this electrically powered power side by side. The premium version of this RANGER XP Kinetic was already available and to this is now added the Ultimate version, equipped with a dual battery pack."

The Ranger is also available in gasoline and diesel versions. This line is specifically designed for tough outdoor work and can reach the most difficult places. Divided into mid- and fullsize models, there is a choice of number of seats, towing capacity and amount of cargo space.

Polaris guarantees quality and moves at the higher end of the market. "I often compare it to the Audi and BMW. Vehicles you enjoy driving because they offer you plenty of power and ease of use." Although the quads have a relatively higher purchase price, they have a very favorable Total Cost of Ownership. "Polaris' quality pays off in high reliability. This has a huge positive impact on business continuity, as well as on repair and maintenance costs. At the bottom line, it means that despite the higher purchase price, one is working at a lower cost. For example, we were recently delighted with the arrival of a large rental organization that had been working with another brand for some time. They found that the lower purchase price did not outweigh the increased maintenance costs and decided to switch back to our quads, of which they purchased as many as one hundred."

Betist concludes, "This show has a wide reach and we hope to welcome not only green professionals such as landscapers, but certainly to meet other professionals doing heavy outdoor work. In fact, our vehicles are also ideal for use within the recreational sector or by landscaping local and regional government agencies. Think of golf courses, recreational lakes and vacation parks."
