Experience the ultimate blend of work and play with the 2023 Polaris® General XP 1000 Premium. This versatile sport utility vehicle combines the durability of the Ranger with the performance and agility of the RZR, delivering a machine that everyone in the family can enjoy—from hunting and farm work to trail riding and adventure .

Power and Performance

At the heart of the General XP 1000 Premium lies a liquid-cooled, 999cc ProStar™ 4-Stroke DOHC Twin Cylinder engine featuring electronic fuel injection . This powerplant delivers a factory-rated 100 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, providing exhilarating acceleration and hill-climbing capability .

Power is transferred through an automatic Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT) with Park, Reverse, Neutral, Low, and High (P/R/N/L/H) gearing . The transmission features high-performance true on-demand AWD/2WD with VersaTrac Turf Mode, allowing riders to switch seamlessly between drive modes .

Speed and Capability

Independent testing confirms the General XP 1000’s impressive speed capabilities:

• Verified top speed: 60 mph on flat gravel road (tested by Dirt Wheels Magazine)
• Note: The vehicle may be capable of exceeding 60 mph, as one reviewer noted the General was put to an “unauthorized speed test” to find out just how fast it could go—and “it was fast”
• Low range governed speed: 30 mph, perfect for technical trails and rock crawling
• Engine Displacement: 999 cc
• Horsepower: 100 HP @ 8,000 rpm
• Torque: 65 lb-ft
• Drive Configuration: On-Demand True AWD/2WD/VersaTrac Turf Mode with EDA (Engine Deceleration Assist)

Chassis and Suspension

The General XP 1000 Premium features race-inspired suspension components for exceptional handling across all terrains:

• Front Suspension: Long Travel, High Clearance Dual A-Arm with Stabilizer Bar
• Front Wheel Travel: 14 inches (35.6 cm)
• Front Shocks: Walker Evans Velocity Series Shocks with 16-plus clicks of compression adjustment
• Rear Suspension: Long Travel, High Clearance Dual Arm IRS with Stabilizer Bar
• Rear Wheel Travel: 14 inches (35.6 cm)
• Rear Shocks: Walker Evans Velocity Series Shocks with adjustable pre-load

The suspension action is outstanding—smooth at both low and high speeds, effectively minimizing the impact of uneven terrain, trail chop, embedded rocks, and washboard surfaces while still providing a sense of connection to the terrain below .
