2025 Kawasaki Ridge XR Crew Limited HVAC – (x1849)

All Rise For In-Line 4-Cylinder

PEAK PERFORMANCE AT THE CORE: All RIDGE® XR CREW HVAC side x sides extend peak premium performance to everyone. Smooth, in-line 4-cylinder power equips RIDGE XR CREW HVAC for a variety of conditions, from rugged work to advanced play. Unique, selectable Power Modes put you in full control when you need it most.

CLASS-LEADING POWER: A groundbreaking, 999cc in-line 4-cylinder engine places RIDGE® XR CREW HVAC in a class of its own. With highly versatile power, seamlessly switch from towing heavy cargo uphill to trail riding with a few passengers. With 116 horsepower* and 73.8 lb-ft (100 Nm) of torque, the high-performance in-line 4 means unparalleled sport riding for the entire group.*This vehicle’s HP was measured according to ISO standard 4106. This ISO standard measures HP differently than the SAE standards by which the horsepower of many cars is measured, and as a result the referenced HP measurement may be higher than if it were measured by an SAE standard.

POWER MODES FOR WORK & PLAY: 3 unique power modes allow you to set power delivery based on objective, preference, and conditions. 1. Work mode offers a milder throttle response for great low-speed control. 2. Sport mode, a sharper, more direct feeling between the gas pedal and engine. 3. Normal mode is a perfect balance between work mode and sport mode, producing a smooth engine response from the time the throttle is opened.

A SMOOTHER RIDE: Smooth ride quality for all passengers is the top priority for the all-new RIDGE® XR CREW HVAC side x side. An optimized continuously variable transmission (CVT) minimizes noise and vibration in the cab. Together, the in-line 4-cylinder engine and CVT create a smooth, lag-free response every time you step on the gas.

STAY IN CONTROLOn-the-fly electrically selectable 4WD and front and rear differential locks allow you to quickly and easily switch between drive systems to suit changing terrain and conditions. Locking the front and rear differentials causes each pair of wheels to act as a single axle, giving RIDGE® XR CREW true AWD capability— especially helpful on technical terrain or when driving in mud and snow. 1. 2WD offers light steering. 2. 4WD delivers enhanced traction while minimizing ground disturbance. 3. For maximum traction, select 4WD + differential locks.

CLEAN & COOL PERFORMANCE: The snorkel-style intake for the engine and CVT is located under the hood, where the chance of dust or water ingestion is minimal. A high-quality Donaldson air filter keeps debris and dust out of the engine. Plus, rear-facing exhaust ports redirect heat from the cab and a dual-wall heat shield offers further heat protection.
