The selectable 4x4 system allows riders to switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive, providing enhanced traction on challenging terrains. The ATP 330 includes a front storage compartment and a rear cargo box with a capacity of 180 lbs, making it suitable for carrying tools and supplies.

In contrast, the ATP 500 4x4 is powered by a more robust 499cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine, offering superior performance for demanding tasks. Like the ATP 330, it also features the PVT automatic transmission and selectable 4x4 system. However, the ATP 500 stands out with its increased hauling capacity, featuring a rear cargo box capable of holding up to 250 lbs. Both models come with MacPherson strut front suspension and progressive-rate rear suspension, ensuring a comfortable ride over rough terrain. Additionally, the ATP 500 includes engine braking and a hydraulic disc brake system for enhanced control and safety.

Overall, the Polaris ATP 330 4x4 and ATP 500 4x4 are engineered to provide reliable performance, versatility, and practical utility features, catering to both recreational riders and those with demanding work-related tasks.
