The Best Side-by-Sides Ever? 2022 Polaris RZR Pro R vs. RZR Turbo R

The Best Side-by-Sides Ever? 2022 Polaris RZR Pro R vs. RZR Turbo R Now with more horsepower, bigger shocks, greater wheel travel, and so much more! The performance side-by-side market has quickly become one of the most fiercely competitive segments in the automotive marketplace. These unique vehicles combine supercar power-to-weight ratios with the off-road performance of a premier-class desert racer. For the 2022 model year Polaris has taken the high-performance UTV class to another level with the introduction of the all-new 2022 Polaris RZR Pro R and Turbo R models. Polaris recently invited us to join them in the desert outside of Las Vegas for a chance to jump behind the wheel of both the 2022 RZR Pro R and RZR Turbo R. Both were two-seat vehicles, and both were top-tier Ultimate trims. Follow along as we dig into what makes these two amazing vehicles tick, as well as what makes them both strikingly similar and distinctly different. Let's go! Engine Power And Performance One of the biggest differentiators between the 2022 Polaris RZR Pro R and Turbo R models is the engines that power them. For 2022 the RZR Turbo lineup has been reduced to just one model, the Turbo R, which now receives its motivation from the same 181 hp turbocharged two-cylinder engine that was previously only found in RZR XP models. The all-new 2022 RZR Pro R received the industry's first four-cylinder engine, a 225 hp naturally aspirated 2.0-liter sourced from the company's Slingshot on-road vehicle. With a 44 hp disparity between the two drivetrains, to say that the difference is noticeable would be an understatement. The power delivered by the new 2.0-liter engine in the RZR Pro R is simply unbelievable. With more horsepower-per-ton than a 702 hp Ram 1500 TRX, the RZR Pro R is a rocket ship off-road. Helping to control all this power are a set of three drive modes: Sport, Rock, and Race. Sport mode works as a sort of "normal" driving position. We found the RZR Pro R to have very controllable throttle response in this mode, giving us a composed driving experience when powering out of a corner or navigating tight and winding terrain. Rock mode dials throttle sensitivity back quite a bit, allowing for precise engine control when crawling over challenging obstacles. Finally (and most fun) there's the full-kill Baja mode. With the dash-mounted switch flipped to Race, the RZR Pro R feels like an unstoppable ball of acceleration. Throttle tip-in is incredibly sensitive and the full power of the 2.0-liter engine comes on fast and hard. We especially enjoyed this driving mode on long, straight stretches of desert trail and when pushing hard through large whoops. It also worked best during those situations where we needed to get the front end light in a hurry when navigating sudden obstacles. To say the RZR Pro R is an adrenaline rush would be putting it mildly. With all that said, the RZR Turbo R is no slouch either. For those who don't need the additional power (we're told these people exist) of the Pro R or who just prefer the driving dynamics of a turbocharged engine, the RZR Turbo R is a great option. During our time behind the wheel, we never found ourselves lacking enough horsepower to get the job done. Sure, it took a bit more skinny pedal to keep up with the Pro R in front of us, but we'd hardly call that a downside. We also rarely noticed any sort of perceived engine lag from the turbocharger, which is always a bonus on forced-induction engines. The biggest difference will be felt if you're coming from a RZR Pro XP model, as the Turbo R is a fair bit heavier with the same engine output. Unfortunately, Turbo R models do not come equipped with the company's new selectable drive modes. Clutch And Transmission By the simple nature of having two different drivetrains, the 2022 Polaris RZR Pro R and Turbo R come fitted with very different clutch, belt, and transmission setups. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't a few similarities worth noting. Both the RZR Pro R and Turbo R had a very crisp and positive clutch engagement feel, which is important for these types of performance UTVs. The RZR Pro R features an all-new clutch system with a larger belt and better airflow for cooler temperatures and an improved lifespan. The RZR Turbo R comes fitted with a lower ratio low gear than the RZR Pro R, which was both noticeable and appreciated when crawling over more challenging terrain (think rockcrawling).
