2027 Can-Am Defender MAX LIMITED CAB HD11 6MVC

Meet the 2027 Can-Am™ Defender MAX Limited HD11 in —a full-size utility UTV that looks ready for fun even when it’s on the clock. (And if you’re the type who likes choices, this model also comes in Dusty Navy, Dark Wildland Camo, Hybrid White, and Sandstone.)

Under that tough work-ready attitude is a Rotax® ACE 999cc inline 3-cylinder, 4-stroke engine that brings serious muscle to the day: 95 hp and 70 ft-lbs of torque, kept cool with liquid cooling and fed by fuel injection (regular gas—no drama, just ride). Hit the button for electric start and let the CVT transmission with Can-Am’s PDrive do what it does best: smooth power delivery whether you’re creeping along in low range or stretching its legs in high. With selectable 4X2 / 4X4 and three driveline modes, plus a front diff lock via Quick-4Lok™ and a rear unlocking differential, it’s built to keep you moving when the trail turns sloppy or the jobsite turns sketchy.

This is the MAX, meaning bring the crew. Two rows and seating for six with a folding vinyl bench, headrests, and four cupholders—because the only thing better than a capable machine is one that makes it easy to share the ride. And when the ride gets rowdy, the steel frame, hard cab canopy and hard doors, mud guards, CV boot cover, front bash plate, and full-length skid plate all work together like a suit of armor.

It’s not just brawn—it’s composed, too. Independent double A-arm suspension front and rear with 12 inches of travel helps keep things controlled, while power steering and a steering wheel layout make it feel natural from the first turn. Those aluminum wheels wear aggressive 30-inch XPS Trac Force knobby tires (30x9-15 front, 30x10-15 rear) for confident bite, backed up by dual hydraulic disc brakes at both ends.

Need it to carry its share? You’ve got 850 lbs of payload, a bed rated for 700 lbs with integral tie-down hooks, and 2,500 lbs of towing capacity on a receiver hitch. Add in LED lighting, DESS security, a fuel gauge and temp warning light, plus Rockford Fosgate® audio with four speakers, Bluetooth®, and mobile app instrumentation—and your “work” UTV starts sounding a lot like a “let’s go again” UTV.
