Polaris brought its 2019 line-up of Slingshot
models to this year’s LA Auto Show in order to give fans and potential
customers alike the chance to experience the road legal three-wheeled, open-air
roadster. All you have to do is purchase a ticket and be at least 18 years old.
For the 2019 model year, Polaris has streamlined its
Slingshot lineup, ditching the old ‘LE’ moniker and opting instead to go with
four, easy to understand specs.
The entry-level S model is priced from US$ 19,999, and
comes with a GM-sourced 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, good for 173 HP and 223 Nm of torque. It also has
Electronic Stability Control and ABS disc brakes. Move up in the range and for US$ 25,499 you could have the Slingshot SL, which adds a 7-inch multi-touch
display, 18″ front and 20″ rear wheels, a 100-watt Rockford Fosgate audio
system, a backup camera and premium stitched seats.
Then you have the SLR, which is a more extreme
version of the SL, priced from US$ 28,999. It comes with a Sparco steering wheel,
shift knob and pedal covers, sport bucket seats and a larger rear wheel for
increased performance.
Last but not least is the Slingshot Grand Touring,
which costs US$ 29,499. This is more of a long-distance option and comes with Ride
Command with navigation, a taller windshield, quilted comfort seats and a Slingshade
removable roof option – it’s the only Slingshot you can use when the weather
turns against you.
