MEDINA, Minn. — Polaris Industries Inc. introduced a new low-emission, electric-powered neighborhood vehicle, called the Polaris Breeze, which will be available for test rides and purchase starting this month at select Polaris dealerships.
The vehicles, which start at $7,499, will appear throughout an expanded network of dealerships in spring 2010.
“The Breeze offers an easy, economical and fun way to get around,” said Marc Tullemans, director of Polaris’ neighborhood vehicle business. “Polaris has always looked for new opportunities to reach consumers with innovative and exciting vehicles. With the Breeze, we’ve provided all of this packaged in a low-emission, all-electric vehicle with unmatched styling and versatility.”
The Breeze’s entirely electric operating system makes it a fuel-saving alternative to cars for drivers making numerous short trips around their master planned community. The vehicle provides up to a 50-mile range of use between charges. It also features the MyChoice rear-seat-conversion system, which allows consumers to use the vehicle as a golf cart, passenger vehicle for up to four, or cargo carrier.
