    Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) has won 2021 Good Design Awards for three of its products, including the Can-Am Commander XT-P UTV, one of five models in the Commander lineup. BRP’s other 2021 Good Design Awards came for its Sea-Doo RXP-X and LinQ Modular box. In the last two years, BRP has won more than 25 international design awards for its products.

    “Good Design is based on the ideals of a design process that embodies product excellence and endurance and strong public identity,” says Denys Lapointe, BRP senior vice president of design, innovation, and creative services. “It is a perfect fit with our design philosophy and the way we approach our products.”

    The Makings Of A Good Design

    The annual Good Design Awards honors industrial and graphical designers and manufacturers from roughly 50 nations for “singular achievements in producing hallmarks of contemporary design.” Founded in 1950, the program is presented by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and Metropolitan Arts Press Ltd. Of the Can-Am Commander XT-P, Good Design says the UTV offers a “spirited, sporty ride that allows the rider to push their limits while providing the storage and utility of a working vehicle.”

    The Can-Am Commander XT-P

    Dubbed “the top dog,” the Commander XT-P is available with two or four bucket seats, including an adjustable driver’s seat. BRP says the vehicle’s lower H-points to provide riders a best-in-class center of gravity, and the XT-P also boasts a rollover protection system (ROPS)-approved cage and stiffened chassis. Other features include an adjustable steering wheel, a 7.6-inch digital display with keypad input, a Digitally Encoded Security System (DESS) with start/stop button, LED headlights and taillights, a 4,500-pound (2,041-kilogram) winch with roller fairlead, premium half doors, a full skid plate, mudguards, a full roof, and an XT front bumper.

    The XP-T is powered by a 100-horsepower (74.5-kilowatt), liquid-cooled Rotax V-twin engine with Intelligent Throttle Control and electronic fuel injection. The engine is mated to a Quick Response System CVT continuous variable transmission with driver-selectable modes such as Turf, 2WD, 4WD Trail, and 4WD Trail ACTIV with exclusive Smart-Lok technology. Also on tap are Electronic Hill Descent Control driving assistance with Sport and Eco modes, dynamic power steering, a 2,000-lb (907-kg) towing capacity, and a 600-lb (272-kg) cargo box capacity. At 29.5 x 45.2 x 10.6 inches (75 x 115 x 27 centimeters), BRP says the dump cargo box is the largest in its class. The vehicle’s XPS Hammer Force tires roll on 15-in. (381-millimeter) aluminum beadlock wheels, and an arched double A-arm with sway bar front suspension paired with an arched TTA with sway bar rear suspension.
