2025 Polaris RZR Pro R Review | UTV Performance Redefined
2025 Polaris RZR Pro R: Evolved for Ultimate Off-Road Performance
The 2025 Polaris RZR Pro R proves once again why it remains a titan in the world of high-performance sport side-by-sides. With bold design updates and refinements to an already dominant platform, this machine is ready to reclaim its crown.
Sharper Design, Fiercer Look
Polaris gave the Pro R a visual overhaul for 2025, revamping the front end with a sharper grille and the iconic "fang lights" that fans have missed. The new angular nose houses redesigned LED headlights and functional air vents feeding into the cabin. It’s aggressive, functional, and unmistakably Polaris.
Refined Ride with Dynamix DV 2.0
The updated Dynamix DV suspension is still the star of the show. A quick double-tap of the red Dynamix button now locks the suspension into full stiff mode until toggled again—a game-changer for navigating punishing terrain at speed. Whether it’s dunes, whoops, or rough desert trails, the Pro R eats it all with confidence.
Power That Roars—Naturally Aspirated Excellence
Under the hood, the 2.0L naturally aspirated ProStar four-cylinder engine continues to impress. It delivers massive torque and razor-sharp throttle response. No turbo lag, no delay—just raw, immediate power. This motor thrives on wide-open spaces and pushes hard through every gear.
Comfort Gets a Boost
Inside the Pro R Ultimate, heated and ventilated seats—borrowed from the Polaris Xpedition—provide serious all-day comfort. These seats offer support and plushness, holding you securely during aggressive cornering or off-camber climbs. Even better, Polaris added new dash-mounted storage bins and stylish accent plastics for a touch of refinement.
Ride Command Still Reigns
The 7-inch Ride Command+ display continues to deliver class-leading GPS, vehicle monitoring, and group ride features. While a larger screen would be welcome, Ride Command’s usability remains unmatched. Polaris just needs to modernize the look and feel to match the rest of the upgraded cabin.
Minor Quirks, Major Impact
Although the RZR Pro R has improved in comfort and style, some cabin materials still feel outdated compared to competitors like the Can-Am Maverick R. Storage bins occasionally popped open over bumps, and the shifter’s plastic knob feels like an afterthought. But these are small blemishes on an otherwise premium machine.
Standard Features That Pack a Punch
- 2.0L ProStar 4-cylinder engine
- 15" true beadlock wheels (on Ultimate trim)
- Heated and ventilated seats
- Updated LED lighting with fang lights
- Enhanced air circulation with new cabin vents

The Verdict: Still a Desert King
While the competition has caught up in some areas, the 2025 Polaris RZR Pro R reminds us why it’s one of the most respected names in the sport UTV category. More comfortable, more aggressive, and just as potent, this latest model is built for enthusiasts who want the best and aren't afraid to push limits.
