Polaris introduced this Velocity edition for the 2020 model year as a value-focused special in the 72-inch RZR XP Turbo S family. The company announced the model in January 2019 and described it as a new two-seat and four-seat performance variant, positioned alongside the standard Turbo S with a simplified finish and Velocity-specific suspension tuning. For 2020, Polaris sold it as a distinct trim with Titanium Metallic styling and Walker Evans Velocity shocks, separating it from the higher-spec Turbo S DYNAMIX models. In the following model year, Polaris revised the lineup naming and the XP prefix was dropped from the Velocity designation, indicating that this exact nameplate was a short-lived, single-run model rather than a long continuous badge. Enthusiast interest in the Velocity version comes from its place in the RZR timeline: it marked Polaris’s attempt to package the Turbo S chassis in a more accessible form while keeping the model’s wide stance and desert-performance identity.
