Features

Premium Seating New contoured seating has added bolstering for more comfort. A new centre flip-down seat transforms into an armrest with added cup holders for more convenience.
Legendary Smooth Ride An industry-leading 12” suspension travel, the ultra-smooth engagement and quiet operation of the STEELDRIVE transmission, and chassis improvements deliver the smoothest ride of any RANGER we’ve ever built. A longer wheelbase delivers better stability in rough terrain for confident handling.
Experience Extreme Comfort Maximise comfort with the most premium and spacious cab we've ever built, industry-leading tech and available heated seats.
Industry's Most Spacious Cab We’ve increased interior space with 2” more leg room than our other full-size UTVs, plus easier entry and exit for tasks like working fence lines. Adjustable seating and a telescopic steering wheel let you find the perfect fit for your height and riding preferences.
Added Lighting A rear work light offers added lighting over the cargo box for early morning or late-night tasks. On the inside, an overhead switch panel provides quick and convenient access for additional lighting or accessory add-ons.
Cargo Box Power Enjoy convenient 12V cargo box power to run accessories or sprayers.
Complete Climate Control The upgraded heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system offers 5 different air flow settings and a recirculation setting to draw air from inside the cab instead of outside for faster, more efficient heating and cooling.
Immersive Sound System Standard with the Ultimate trim, integrated JBL audio speakers deliver precise audio clarity and premium sound. Run AM/FM radio or connect to Bluetooth via the RIDE COMMAND infotainment system.
RIDE COMMAND Elevate your off-road experience with the power of RIDE COMMAND—the original, nationwide off-road mapping system. With over 1.3 million miles of verified trails, unique features and pre-installed rear camera, you'll be able to ride with confidence and tackle jobs with ease.
Confident Traction Get confident ride and handling with 30" Kenda Cross Trail tyres to crawl over rocks, ruts and rough terrain, plus an 8-ply rating for added durability.
Drive Modes Tailor throttle response with four drive modes. Comfort mode limits throttle response and engine braking, great for work scenarios. Standard mode delivers normal throttle response and engine braking for everyday riding. Sport maximises throttle response for a sporty ride on the trails. Tow/Haul maximises engine torque and limits speed for heavy payloads.
Power Your Productivity RANGER XD 1500 is powered by a 3-cylinder ProStar 1500cc engine. It pumps out an industry-leading 110 HP and 142 nm of torque for effortless hauling and towing, and confidence on tough terrain.
Haul More in Less Time Save time with fewer trips and heavier loads with a 680 kg cargo box capacity, a 50% larger box volume than full-size UTVs.
TOW HEAVIER LOADS Maximise your productivity with enhanced capability. From round bales to horse trailers, XD 1500 is engineered to work with an astounding 1,588 kg towing capacity.
Overcome Rough Terrain Get off the beaten path with an industry-leading 38 cm of ground clearance to overcome large obstacles and tough terrain with confidence.
Easy Shifting, Quiet Operation Easily shift between drive, park and reverse gears with a consistent, predictable feel and less effort. The fully sealed design reduces operating noise for a quieter, more enjoyable ride.
Hill Assist For added control when driving uphill, Hill Assist engages the transmission to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when you let off the brakes or gas. Downhill, the transmission remains engaged to assist in controlling descent.*
Maximum Durability and Strength Our industry-exclusive STEELDRIVE transmission features a 100% steel-constructed belt. It's designed to withstand heavier loads and require less maintenance than the rubber belt design commonly found in other UTVs. Plus, it's fully sealed and liquid-cooled for maximum durability and longevity.
Smooth, Precise Control STEELDRIVE is electronically controlled to deliver outstanding driveability. Enjoy smooth, predictable throttle engagement and precise low-speed control when backing up to trailers, navigating rough terrain, or spraying a fence line.
Designed to Inspire Lock & Ride MAX brings with it an all-new system of durable accessories designed for the off road. Constructed from high-quality aluminium and high-impact plastics, you can stop worrying about whether or not your tools and gear will stay in place and enjoy the ride to your next destination.
Maximise Your Uptime Time is money, and you can't afford to lose either. Simply slide accessories into their desired location, lock into place, and ride in comfort knowing your gear is secure.
Intuitive & Easy to Use Engineered for toolless installation and effortless customisation. Lock & Ride MAX allows users to easily maintain their integrated accessories with debris mitigation solutions to help keep your accessories moving freely and performing as they should in mud, snow and more.
Built to Customise With the ability to move and place accessories in different locations on the vehicle, you now have virtually limitless ways to customise and maximise. Easily build and adjust storage solutions for hunt, work and everything in between.
