• Premium quality

• Maximum Capability

• Insane value

Labor and luxury for less money.

It was only a matter of time before the folks at CFMoto took aim at the Cowboy Cadilliac segment. The 2025 UForce U10 XL Pro is their take on popular premium four-door utility rigs like the Can-Am Defender Max Limited and Polaris Ranger XP 1000, and it’s executed to great effect.

Whether you opt for the well-equipped and insanely affordable base model or step it up to the premium HVAC-equipped “Highlands” version, buyers stand to save thousands of dollars over the current industry favorites without sacrificing capability or refinement.

Or that’s what the marketing materials would have us believe, at any rate. If you’re considering taking the leap to a CFMoto yourself, here are the cliff notes you’ll want to know before jumping into the UForce U10 XL Pro with both feet.

How much power does it make?

CFMoto claims their UForce U10 XL Pro makes 88 horsepower and 69 pound-feet of torque from its 998cc inline triple engine. Those numbers either meet or exceed both Polaris’ Ranger XP1000 and Can-Am’s HD10-powered Defender models on both fronts, which we’re sure is no accident.

That power is routed to the ground through CFMoto’s proprietary “OmniDrive” CVT system, which offers both high and low ratios as well as 2WD, 4WD, and 4WD lock modes. CFMoto says the engine is tuned to emphasize medium and low-end torque to maximize the UForce U10 XL Pro’s towing capacity.

What makes it special?

As is often the case with CFMoto’s rigs, value is the main appeal here. The UForce U10 XL Pro represents CFMoto’s most premium and capable offering, bringing serious working capacity, sharp looks, and a tough stance to the scene with a starting price of just $18,999.

Its working specs of 2,500 pounds of towing, 1,000 pounds of cargo, and a standard 4,500-pound winch all match what’s on offer from the competition, be it Polaris, Can-Am, or a Japanese competitor, but you get it all for a hell of a lot less cash. The fact that CFMoto throws in a touchscreen display, a factory sound system, and an electronic dump bed as standard equipment only sweetens the deal.

Why do I want it?

You want a four-door utility rig for work, hunting, or trail riding, but you don’t want to shell out the cash for a Defender Max or Ranger Crew. CFMoto’s UForce U10 XL Pro goes toe-to-toe with both alternatives in terms of working capability, but it does it for a lot les money.

It’s also worth pointing out that the U10 XL Pro comes well-equipped from the factory even in its most basic trim compared to the alternatives. An 8-inch TFT touchscreen display comes as standard equipment, for instance, as does a factory stereo, a 4,500-pound winch, and an electronic tilting cargo bed.

Folks looking for an affordable-yet-premium HVAC-equipped rig will also find considerable value in CFMoto’s “Highland” trim package, which does a solid impression of Can-Am’s “Limited” trim, complete with a fully sealed cab, premium upholstered seats, sound deadening, power windows, and color-matched body panels.

Why don’t I want it?

Most folks who shop utility machines like the UForce U10 XL Pro rule it out for one fundamental reason: it’s made by a Chinese brand. That’s understandable, as the “made in China” association for many of us here in the US still translates to “second rate” and/or “unreliable,” although we’d argue neither applies to CFMoto’s latest products.

That being said, CFMoto’s factory warranty (and available four year extended warranty) still aren’t enough to bring some folks to the table, namely out of fear the machine is going to end up spending more time at the dealer getting fixed than out getting stuff done.

We’ll also point out that if you’re looking to customize your rig, there are fewer options out there for the U10 XL Pro (and CFMoto in general) in the aftermarket. Some companies like ThumperFab are slowly building out their catalogs to include control arms, racks, and bumpers, but the options are still comparatively limited.

What trim do I want?

The 2025 CFMoto UForce U10 XL Pro comes in two trims: there’s the standard version, and then there’s the premium “Highland” trim. The two are identical in terms of power, hardware and working capacity, but the Highland is effectively CFMoto’s answer to Polaris’ “Northstar” or Can-Am’s “Limited” models.

As such, the Highland trim comes with a considerable $8,000 price increase, but includes a fully sealed cab with power windows, a luxury interior, a factory HVAC system, additional sound deadening, and Apple Carplay as part of the 8-inch TFT infotainment system.

Compared to its mainstream competitors, either trim is a smoking deal in every measurable way. We’d argue that the Highland trim is the real steal of the two, however, as its $26,999 MSRP undercuts the HVAC-equipped competitors by a $6,000+ margin.

If I like this… what else should I look at?

Most folks buy the UForce U10 XL Pro as an affordable alternative to a Can-Am Defender, so we’d recommend starting there. If you want an even burlier and more capable rig, Polaris’ Ranger XD 1500 is also worth checking out. We’d also flag CFMoto’s own UForce 1000 XL as an even more affordable six-seat alternative with identical working capacity.
