Per VINdown's modeling, the Can-Am Defender HD5 retains an estimated 72% of its value after five years, ranking #347 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That is 6 points above the 66% five-year average for UTV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Can-Am Defender HD5 sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $10,399 it falls to around $7,435 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,964, about $1.62 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Can-Am Defender HD5 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
