Polaris has taken the wraps off the 2018 Slingshot.
Launched nearly three years ago, the Slingshot enters the 2018 model year with
a number of minor changes including the addition of a 7-inch Ride Command
infotainment system with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. The system comes
standard on all models except the entry-level Slingshot S and higher-end
variants feature GPS navigation.
Besides being more technologically advanced than its
predecessor, the 2018 Slingshot gains a new range-topping model called the SLR
LE. Billed as an "ultra-premium" three-wheeler, the model comes
nicely equipped with sport seats, special edition graphics, and a 200 watt
Rockford Fosgate audio system. Buyers will also find a 10-way adjustable Bilstein
suspension and a two-tone exterior with Ghost Gray and Lime-Squeeze accents.
The Slingshot's 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine
carries over and continues to produce 173 hp and 224 Nm of
torque. The 2018 Slingshot will begin arriving at
dealerships in September and pricing starts at US$ 19,999. The mid-level SL
retails for US$ 25,499 while the SLR stickers for US$ 28,999. The limited edition
Slingshot SLR LE starts at US$ 30,999 but the company declined to say how many
units will be produced.
