The 2026 Polaris XPEDITION ADV 5 NorthStar stands out with its purpose-built approach to capability, powered by a 4-stroke single cylinder DOHC engine displacing 567 cc and delivering 28 hp. Its liquid cooling keeps performance steady, while the automatic PVT H/L/N/R/P shaft transmission delivers smooth shifts across the trail. With a curb weight of 1210 lbs and a dry weight of 1,155 lbs, this SXS is engineered to balance nimble handling with substantial payload, supporting up to 1000 lbs of standard payload and a 1500 lbs towing capacity. For two up front and a shared adventure, the 2-person flip-up bench seat with a 3-point harness emphasizes safety and compact comfort on multi-day rides.

In terms of ride and build, the XPEDITION ADV 5 NS pairs a MacPherson strut front suspension with a dual A-arm, independent rear suspension offering 9.0 inches of front travel and 9.96 inches in the rear, delivering controlled stability over uneven terrain. Front and rear four-wheel hydraulic discs provide consistent braking, while a 6.1-foot wheelbase helps with predictable cornering and a turning radius of 13.5 feet. The 9.5-gallon fuel tank and 500-pound bed capacity (227 kg) ensure practical daily use and light cargo versatility, complemented by standard wheels described as 1 ft and Carlstar 489 tires sized 25 x 8-12 in the front and 25 x 10-12 in the rear. The vehicle accommodates up to two occupants, with durable construction designed to meet demanding conditions.
