2026 Update

[Awickedtruth]

I waited anxiously for the news release from Polaris on the 2026 models… I am looking to upgrade from a 2024 XP 4 General to either an Expedition or XD 1500… nothing was released on the 1500 but they did release the 2026 Xpedition…. My question… is there any changes/updates/upgrades from the 2025 model Xpedition to the 2026? Thanks

I might be wrong but I think the only changes were some new colors.

Found this online…. No idea if it’s accurate..

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• RIDE COMMAND+: All 2026 Xpedition models come with a three-year subscription to Polaris' connected vehicle technology, RIDE COMMAND+.
  
  
• Pro Armor Trekker Tires: The new 30-inch Pro Armor Trekker tires are standard on both models.
  
  
• Heater Performance: The heating system has been upgraded for improved performance.
  
  
• Styling Updates: The 2026 Xpedition models feature refreshed styling.
  
  
• Pricing: The 2026 Polaris Xpedition XP starts at $39,499, and the Xpedition ADV starts at $40,499.
  
  
• Other Features: Both models retain features like the ProStar 1000 engine, 14-inch front suspension travel, and available Northstar Edition with HVAC and JBL audio.

I’m curious what heater improvements were made for 2026, and whether they can be added to a 2025. In my XP5, if I turn on the fan with the heat set to cold and the A/C off—even when it’s 70°F outside—it still blows warm air.

My 2025 came with 3 years of RIDE COMMAND+, so that’s not a big deal.

Honestly, I’m glad I didn’t wait for the 2026. There just weren’t enough improvements to make it worth not having the XP5 for the past 2 months while I'm in western CO.
