2026 Polaris RANGER 500

"If you're looking for a practical, capable side-by-side that won't break the budget, you really need to have a look at the new 2026 Polaris RANGER 500."

The RANGER 500 is built around a simple idea: get more work done, with less effort, for a great price.

You've got a 28-horsepower 567cc ProStar engine, automatic transmission and all-wheel drive with auto-locking front drive, so whether you're moving around the property, checking cattle, doing fencing, carrying firewood or tackling general maintenance, you've got the capability and traction to get the job done.

And this is where the RANGER 500 really makes sense as a working machine.

You've got a 227kg gas-assist dump box, so instead of making multiple trips with a wheelbarrow, you can load it up and get the job done in one. It also has a 680kg towing capacity and a factory-installed 1,133kg winch, giving you plenty of capability for everyday property work.

It's also only 1.486 metres wide, which is a big advantage. You can get through narrower gates, around sheds and down tighter tracks where a larger UTV simply can't go. And with 25.4cm of ground clearance and independent suspension, it's designed to handle the sort of uneven terrain you'll find around Australian properties.

Another feature I really like is VersaTrac Turf Mode. When you're driving across lawns or softer ground, you can unlock the rear differential to make tighter turns while helping minimise turf damage.

And here's the big one — the price.

The 2026 RANGER 500 is currently advertised by Polaris Australia from $15,995 drive-away including GST, including pre-delivery and logistics costs, with a $1,000 saving advertised.

So you're getting a genuine Polaris side-by-side with AWD, dump box, winch, towing capability and a 2-person seat — without having to jump into a much larger and more expensive machine.

My question for you is simple: what jobs are you currently doing around the property that would be easier if you had the RANGER 500?

Because once we know what you're using it for, I can show you exactly how the RANGER fits into your day-to-day work.

Let's take one outside, I'll show you the controls, the tray and the towing setup, and you can see for yourself just how easy it is to operate."
