Polaris Launches New Emergency Light Kit for GENERAL

Minneapolis – October 11, 2023 – The Polaris GENERAL XP 1000, delivering the hardworking utility of RANGER and unmatched performance of RZR, is now response ready with the all-new extreme off-road Emergency Light Kit with Infrared (IR) and Blackout. Equipped on a four-seat GENERAL XP 4 1000 UTV, the rugged light kit will debut at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference and Exposition in San Diego, Calif. Oct. 14-17 in Polaris Booth #4857.

The Polaris XPEDITION, which launched in June 2023, will also be on display for the first time at IACP. Combining the all-terrain capabilities of traditional side-by-sides with comfort and cargo capabilities typically associated with overlanding, the Polaris XPEDITION delivers capability, performance and comfort in a first-of-its-kind crossover side-by-side. With a 200+ mile fuel range,* 1,160 lb payload and 2,000 lb towing capacity, the vehicle is designed to carry more gear and provide greater protection from the elements. A three-seat RANGER XP 1000 NorthStar equipped with emergency lighting and a rescue skid will also be on-display at the Polaris booth, and attendees can get a hands-on look at the all-electric RANGER XP Kinetic, equipped with a stand-alone emergency light system, in Safeware booth #5531. 

GENERAL XP 1000 Emergency Light Kit with IR and Blackout

The new rugged Emergency Light Kit with IR and Blackout includes a 50-inch tactical lightbar, 35-inch lightbar and integrated emergency lights around the vehicle body provide a full 360-degree package with different color options. Infrared and blackout light options provide law enforcement officials discretion when needed so they can feel confident and prepared for their missions. The emergency light kit also features a 100W siren speaker and digital control panel with PA system for efficient communication and vehicle notification. Equipped with PriorityStart, the vehicle battery is automatically disconnected when low voltage is detected, aiding in vehicle restart when needed most. Additionally, an on-board plug-in keeps the battery fully charged when not in use, so the vehicle is always response ready. Purpose-built for versatility, performance and reliability, the Polaris GENERAL XP 1000 offers two and four-seat models, a 1,100-lb payload capacity, the ability to tow 1,500 lb, and a 100 HP engine.

Polaris XPEDITION

As the great outdoors become more accessible, remote land management and emergency response crews need mobility solutions that keep pace with the mobility available to adventure seekers. The Polaris XPEDITION is appropriate for city, state and federal personnel as they patrol and protect conservation and public lands – with a host of standard features and optional configurations to accommodate the greatest range of outdoor jobs.

The 2024 Polaris XPEDITION features a pass-through cab and easy roof rack solutions to accommodate virtually any loadout. It is the first-ever sport side-by-side to offer a fully enclosed cab with full roof coverage, windows and optional heating and air conditioning, delivering all-day comfort and providing riders and their equipment protection from the elements. The Polaris XPEDITION ADV model features a fully covered pass-through rear cargo box providing 36 inches and 63 inches on the 2-seat and 5-seat models, respectively, of flat storage length – providing ample protected storage space for the tools and equipment needed on the job. The Polaris XPEDITION XP features a dumping cargo box that measures 30 inches long with plenty of room for a spare tire and additional gear or accessories. Both models feature a segment-leading 48-inch-wide box with 16-inch side walls so riders can carry equipment with ease.
