RISES TO THE CHALLENGE

Equipped with choice factory-installed accessories like 27 in (68.6 cm) Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tires, 14 in. (35.6 cm) cast-aluminum wheels, and Dynamic Power Steering (DPS), the Defender XT is ready when you are.

Features may include:

HEAVY-DUTY ROTAX V-TWIN ENGINES

The Defender XT package offers two very capable true-work powerplant options. The 72-hp Rotax HD10 V-Twin is specifically tuned for serious work but also offers 61 lb-ft torque and peak torque at lower RPM for optimal delivery for recreational use. The work-focused Rotax HD8 V-Twin delivers 50 hp and 50 lb-ft torque for tough tasks.

DYNAMIC POWER STEERING

STEERING YOU RIGHT

Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) is tuned for utility while returning renowned Can-Am responsiveness for recreational riding. DPS improves steering feel in slow-speed working situations and in more technical terrain. It's also designed to offer less assistance at high speeds and more assistance at low speeds.

4 MODE TRACTION SYSTEM

BETTER CONTROL

The Visco-Lok QE† front differential combined with the lockable rear differential offer a 4-mode traction system providing multiple choices for varying terrain or tasks. Users, via a separate front-and-rear toggle switches, can select between a 2x4 open rear differential for tight turning and turf protection, a 2x4 lockable rear for improved 2WD traction, a 4x4 open rear for more maneuverability in rugged terrain and a 4x4 locked rear for maximum traction. The rear differential is gear-on-gear to the transmission for better response, no maintenance, better efficiency and fewer components.

ECO, WORK AND NORMAL DRIVING MODES

SELECTABLE DRIVE MODE

Select from three driving modes that are designed to optimized performance on a variety of terrain as well as saving on fuel consumption

ADVANCED VERSA-PRO BENCH SEAT

PICK-UP INSPIRED SEATING

The VERSA-PRO bench seat offered on the XT package includes a truck-like flip-up passenger seats with sealed/waterproof under seat storage. It uses a reinforced seat cover with thicker vinyl and a special material finish to be more resistant and offer a premium look. The Defender vehicles’ high-quality seat cover is designed to endure the everyday use on the farm, job site and trail. In addition, the XT driver seat features 3-in (8 cm) of adjustability (forward/rearward) for added comfort and better entrance / exit.

OPEN DASH WITH REMOVABLE TOOLBOX AND UNDER DASH STORAGE
