Polaris Xpedition XP5 Northstar

[vince clemens]

Well plans changed and deals changed.
Ended up driving from Havi to Goodyear on Friday to pick up my Xpedition.
Long day, 9hrs round trip. Dealer was a bit unorganized to put it mildly.

Quick report after playing with it over the weekend.

Overall I am very impressed..
On the road driving around town, outside temps were 102, the ac kept the cabin very comfortable, a bit warmer in the rear seats. This will probably become my daily driver when in town.
GPS top speed was 71mph, much faster than you need to go in these things.
The stock stereo is pretty amazing.
Was very worried about the off-road performance but after taking it out in the sand and on the trails I was able to “mob” it pretty good and it was very comfortable. Plenty of power and suspension. No more worries about that.
It is heavy at 2800lbs and does feel a bit top heavy, you will have to pay attention if/when in the sand dunes.
The cabin is sealed quite well, followed friend in razor for about a 1/2hr and no dust was in the cab, like didn’t even need to wipe it down inside after the ride.
Ac/heat/comfortable and clean was the main reason for this purchase and that worked very well.
Hopefully the belt will hold up and not have to be replaced often, changing the belt will be a chore on this.

Overall all I am very impressed and I think these will become very popular.

Can’t wait for all the aftermarket goodies to start showing up.

The only negative that I found was that it is quite loud in the cab, the stereo fixed that for now but I am sure this will be resolved in the aftermarket world.

We have the Xpedition XP5 (non ADV version) I have followed razors on the dusty trail for over a 1/2hr and didn’t even have to dust the inside of the cab. Ours is sealed quite well.

Sorry but if I’m emptying my savings account for an overlandimg vehicle it’s going to be a Jeep or Bronco. This Polaris Vehicle like all of there cars will be worn out in 5 years with low resale value!

I have friends with them out here and all of them
Have said no dust in the cab. I’m wondering if you are missing some
Covers or something?

The trick is on my NorthStar that the a/c or at least the blower fan has got to be on to pressurize the cab. As soon as I turn it off I get dust in the cab.
