POLARIS UNVEILS SUB £10k RANGER 500 FOR UK FARMERS AT LAMMA 2026
Polaris Off Road showed of its Ranger 500 at LAMMA which it claims offers a practical, mid-size utility vehicle that bridges the gap between a traditional quad bike (ATV) and a full-size UTV which will meet the demands of UK farmers and landowners.
The Ranger 500 will be officially launched in late Spring in the UK offering the convenience of a cargo bed and the ability to carry a passenger while maintaining a compact footprint; and while final pricing is yet to be announced, it is expected to retail for £9,999.
"We know that many UK farmers are looking for a way to transition from a quad bike to a side-by-side without a massive jump in cost," said Richard Coleby, Polaris Regional Sales Manager for Central Europe. "The Ranger 500 is the perfect answer. It provides a highly affordable, reliable workhorse that doesn't compromise on capability."
The Ranger 500 has been designed to operate in tight farmyards and across challenging terrain. It is equipped with the Polaris 567cc petrol engine that delivers 28bhp.
Key features include:
• A gas-assist dump box capable of hauling 227kg making it ideal for moving feed, fencing supplies, or tools, while the 680kg towing capacity ensures it can handle standard farm trailers
• Polaris' On-Demand All-Wheel Drive and VersaTrac Turf Mode, which unlocks the rear differential to prevent damage to sensitive grass or paddock areas
• A protective roof and a 1,134kg winch as standard
• At 148.6cm wide and with 25.4cm of ground clearance, the Ranger 500 can easily navigate narrow gateways, woodland tracks, and livestock sheds
