At the heart of the 2027 Defender XU Limited is Can-Am’s Rotax ACE 999cc triple-cylinder engine. Delivering 95 horsepower and 70 lb-ft of torque, this powertrain excels in high-load scenarios where immediate low-end torque is crucial.
Whether you are pulling heavy feed trailers, hauling fencing materials, navigating muddy lanes, or climbing steep draws, the HD11 platform supplies dependable power across every RPM range.
The XU Limited package comes turn-key from the factory with functional ranch and job-site accessories:
2,500 lb. Towing Capacity with included trailer hitch ball mount.
900 lb. Bed Capacity featuring low bed wall extensions and a metal headache rack.
Integrated Storage including a 2×2 LinQ Tool Holder setup.
Full Undercarriage Protection with heavy-duty HMW plastic skid plates, large front bumper, floor mats, and mudguards.
Brake Holding Mechanism & Speed Limiter for controlled stops on inclines and controlled speed management around livestock or work sites.
Eastern Oregon and Southwest Idaho present extreme seasonal temperature swings—from freezing winter mornings to triple-digit summer afternoons. The Defender XU Limited’s fully enclosed cab keeps operators comfortable and productive in all conditions.

Full Heating, Venting, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system.
Full glass tilt-up windshield with integrated wiper and washer kit.
Color-matched full doors with power tinted glass windows and door locks.

Turf Mode: Unlocks the rear differential to protect delicate grass, turf, and gravel driveways.
2WD Mode: Ideal for smooth roads and everyday cruising.
4WD with Quick-4Lok: Automatically locks the front differential when loss of traction is detected, delivering power to all four wheels through deep mud, snow, and uneven ground.
Featuring a 65-inch stance, 14 inches of ground clearance, and 12 inches of suspension travel, the Defender handles rutted roads and rocky approaches smoothly. 30-inch XPS Trac Force tires mounted on 15-inch aluminum wheels provide aggressive bite, puncture resistance, and flotation across loose soil and snow.
