Polaris has continued its rollout of 2026 model year UTVs with the updated General, offering refreshed colors and graphics and new options.
The crossover recreational/utility side-by-side is available in two-seater and four-seater models. It comes equipped with a 999cc, 100-horsepower engine, a performance-inspired chassis and on-demand all-wheel drive for traction in slippery or rocky terrains. Responsive steering, up to 14 inches of usable suspension travel and bolstered bucket seats add to the comfortable off-road driving experience.
When it’s time to get work done, the General can haul up to 600 pounds of material and supplies in its dump box or tow up to 1,500 pounds. Polaris’ VersaTrac Turf Mode improves maneuverability on lawns and other delicate surfaces.
