The five-seat version of Polaris’s XPEDITION ADV was introduced for the 2024 model year as part of the company’s all-new XPEDITION family, which marked Polaris’s move into the enclosed-cab adventure side-by-side segment. The ADV body style was positioned around cargo-carrying and overlanding use, pairing a fully covered rear cargo area with seating for five, while the related XP version was aimed more at open cargo hauling. Polaris presented the XPEDITION lineup as a new category of adventure-focused side-by-sides designed to blend trail capability, comfort, and utility for long-distance outdoor travel.
For the 2024 launch, Polaris offered the XPEDITION line in multiple trim levels, and the ADV 5 was one of the key five-seat configurations from the start. Its introduction helped establish the nameplate as a distinct, premium side-by-side family rather than a simple variant of an existing model. The XPEDITION series has remained in production since its debut, with the ADV 5 continuing as the five-seat cargo-oriented member of the lineup in subsequent model years.
