Power and Performance
The Pro R Boost is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 275 hp and 223 lb-ft (302 Nm) of torque.
It features a four-wheel drive system with a two-wheel drive mode.
Polaris says the turbocharger design allows the vehicle to maintain peak power at elevations up to 10,000 feet.
Upgraded cooling systems help it handle tough conditions.
Available in 'Ultimate' and 'Ultra' trims, the side-by-side comes in two- and four-door configurations.
The lightest model weighs 2,671 lbs (1,212 kg), while the heaviest tips the scales at 3,011 lbs (1,366 kg).

While Polaris doesn't provide acceleration figures, the use of a CVT eliminates gear shifts, promising quick performance.
Suspension and Features
Electronic, dual-valve suspension components from Fox actively adjust compression and rebound damping up to 200 times per second.
The front and rear shocks are internal bypass units.
All models ride on 15-inch wheels with 32-inch tires, offering 16 inches of ground clearance. This setup is designed to conquer rocky terrain and sand dunes.
Surprisingly, the RZR Pro R Boost includes tech features like a water-resistant Rockford Fosgate audio system, a 10.4-inch portrait infotainment display with Apple CarPlay, built-in GPS, a four-inch driver display, heated and ventilated bucket seats, a racing steering wheel, and optional Bluetooth headsets.
