The 2024 Polaris RZR Pro XP is turbo performance in a trail-friendlier package. It carries the same 181 hp turbocharged engine as the wide-body Turbo R, but in a narrower 64-inch body that fits more terrain and costs less. For riders who want serious boost without the full desert-race width, it hits a sweet spot in the RZR range. Here is what it does well, where it holds back, and who should buy it. (New to spec sheets? Our guide on how to read ATV & UTV specs covers which numbers matter.)
The Pro XP runs a 925cc turbocharged twin making about 181 horsepower, identical to the flagship Turbo R and far beyond the naturally aspirated RZR XP 1000 (114 hp). The turbo delivers a hard, sustained pull that makes fast, open riding a thrill, and the PVT automatic keeps it in the power. As with any high-output turbo side-by-side, the drive belt works hard, so sensible belt care is part of ownership. Put simply, you are getting the RZR’s big-power turbo experience here, not a watered-down version.
The 64-inch advantage
The Pro XP’s key difference from the Turbo R is width. At 64 inches, it fits trails and terrain that a 74-inch machine cannot, which makes it far more versatile for riders whose ground is not all wide-open desert. A 74-inch option exists if you want more stance, but the standard 64-inch body is the point: turbo power you can actually use on tighter trails. It still offers 14.5 inches of ground clearance and, on higher trims, Dynamix DV active suspension, so it is capable as well as quick.
Who it’s for
The Pro XP is the right pick if you want the RZR’s 181 hp turbo but ride terrain where 74 inches of width would be a liability. It suits fast trail riders who need to fit real trails, buyers who want turbo power for less than the Turbo R, and anyone who values versatility over maximum desert stance. It delivers most of the flagship experience in a more usable size.
It is not the pick if you ride wide-open ground where the Turbo R’s extra width and travel pay off, or if you want the naturally aspirated character and clearance of the Pro R. It is a two-seat sport machine with no work capability.
How it compares
At $27,999 the Pro XP competes with the sharp end of the sport class while undercutting its wider sibling. The Can-Am Maverick X3 Turbo ($22,899) is a cheaper entry turbo, though it makes less power at 120 hp. Compare them → Within the RZR family, the Turbo R ($30,999) adds the wide 74-inch stance and premium suspension for more money, and the RZR XP 1000 ($21,299) is the cheaper naturally aspirated base.

Price and value
At $27,999 the Pro XP costs about $3,000 less than the Turbo R while delivering the same 181 hp turbo engine. For the rider who does not need the full 74-inch width, that is a genuine bargain within the RZR range, since the core performance is identical. You give up the widest stance, the longest travel and the 30-inch tires, but you gain trail versatility and keep money in your pocket.
Pros and cons
The good: a strong 181 hp turbo engine, a trail-friendly 64-inch width with a 74-inch option, 14.5 inches of ground clearance, available Dynamix DV active suspension, and a lower price than the Turbo R for the same power.
The catch: less width, travel and tire than the Turbo R for wide-open running, a hard-working turbo CVT belt, no work or tow capability, and two seats only.
The verdict
The 2024 Polaris RZR Pro XP is the value-smart way to get the RZR’s turbo performance. It matches the Turbo R’s 181 hp in a narrower, more versatile 64-inch body for less money, which makes it the better choice for anyone whose riding is not all wide-open desert. If your ground is wide and fast, the Turbo R’s extra width earns its premium, and if you want naturally aspirated power, the Pro R is the pick. But for turbo thrills you can use on real trails, the Pro XP is one of the smartest buys in the RZR line.
