Improved SSV Performance & Power
Through the constant pursuit of increased performance and power, Can-Am has further solidified its position as the mid-horsepower sport UTV leader by increasing the Maverick X3 DS Turbo’s horsepower to 135, up 15 horsepower from the 2022 model. Following the trend of breaking new ground, the Defender is now the pinnacle of working performance for suspension performance and unrivaled tire clearance in the utility-recreational category, and comes stock with 30-inch tires.
The increased horsepower and handling on the Maverick X3 lineup was achieved through advanced drivetrain parts, such as the addition of a new Turbo assembly, new Turbo Injectors, a new Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and calibration package, along with a new Drive Primary Clutch for faster acceleration and quieter driving experience. For 2023, the Maverick X3 X ds Turbo RR package now comes equipped with a Sport Roof and four-point retractable harnesses.
