The Can-Am Commander 700: Affordable Crossover Capability
The Can-Am Commander 700 brings the Commander’s sport-utility formula to a more accessible price point. It is built for riders who want a side-by-side that handles trail riding and property work equally well, without paying for the biggest engine or the most premium trim. With a 650cc single-cylinder engine, a versatile cargo box, 2,000 lbs of towing capacity and Dynamic Power Steering (DPS), it delivers a lot of capability for the money.
If you need more power, step up to the Commander XT 1000R or the premium Commander XT-P 1000R with accessories. If you mainly need a work vehicle for a crew, compare it with the Defender MAX XT HD9.
Engine Built for Efficiency and Torque
Power comes from a 650cc single-cylinder engine rated at 50 HP. Single-cylinder engines are compact, efficient and deliver strong low-end torque, which helps when climbing hills, pulling a trailer or crawling over rocks. The engine is well suited to trail riding at moderate speeds and everyday chores around the property, while keeping fuel costs reasonable.
Selectable 4X2/4X4 with differential lock lets you choose the right traction for the conditions. Use 2WD on firm, dry ground, 4WD for mud, snow and loose climbs, and engage the differential lock when you need every bit of grip.
What DPS Means for You
DPS stands for Dynamic Power Steering, Can-Am’s electronic power steering system. It reduces steering effort at low speeds, making it easier to maneuver around trees, rocks and tight trails. At higher speeds, it adds stability and reduces kickback from bumps and ruts. Power steering makes a big difference on long rides and for smaller drivers, and it is one of the most appreciated features on any modern side-by-side.
Utility Features
Cargo Box
The Commander’s cargo box is designed for flexibility, with space for tools, coolers, camping gear and hunting equipment. The box can tilt for easy unloading of loose material like gravel, dirt and mulch.
Towing
A towing capacity of 2,000 lbs (907 kg) lets the Can-Am Commander 700 pull a utility trailer, small boat trailer on private property or a load of firewood. For many landowners, that is plenty of capability for weekly chores.
Comfortable Two-Seat Cockpit
The cockpit seats two adults with supportive seating, a clear view of the trail and controls that are easy to reach. The Commander’s suspension is tuned to deliver a smooth, controlled ride over rough trails, while staying stable when carrying a load in the box.
Who Should Buy the Can-Am Commander 700
- First-time side-by-side buyers who want a versatile, approachable machine
- Hunters who need cargo space and power steering on long days
- Landowners who want one vehicle for work and weekend fun
- Riders moving up from an ATV who want more comfort and storage
- Budget-minded buyers who still want Can-Am quality and Rotax power
Commander 700 vs 1000R
The Commander 700 and Commander 1000R share the same basic concept, but the 1000R adds a V-twin engine with significantly more power. If you ride mostly at moderate speeds, use your vehicle for chores and want to save money, the 700 is a smart choice. If you crave stronger acceleration, ride in steep mountain terrain or carry heavy loads often, the 1000R is worth considering. You can compare both on our Can-Am inventory page.
Popular Accessories
Owners often add a roof and windshield for weather protection, a winch for recovery, LED lights, cargo box organizers, a gun rack, a rear view mirror and a sound system. For colder regions, consider a soft or hard cab enclosure and a plow kit. Our team can quote accessories with your order.

More Ownership Tips
Registration, Insurance and Permits
Depending on where you live, your side-by-side may need registration, a trail permit or an off-highway vehicle sticker. Insurance is a smart choice too, since it can cover theft, damage and liability. Check local rules before your first ride and keep your paperwork with the vehicle or on your phone.
Transporting Your Machine
Use a trailer or truck rated for the weight of your side-by-side, with sturdy ramps and quality ratchet straps. Secure it at four points to solid frame or rack mounts, never to plastic parts, and double check the straps after the first few miles of driving.
The Break-In Period
The first hours of use matter for long engine life. Follow the break-in instructions in the owner manual, vary engine speed, avoid full throttle and heavy loads at first and change the oil when recommended. Careful break-in helps your Can-Am Commander 700 deliver its best performance for years.
Protecting Resale Value
Keep the side-by-side clean, store it under cover, follow the service schedule and save every receipt. A documented service history and tidy condition make a big difference when it is time to sell or trade in for a newer model.
Riding Responsibly
Stay on designated trails, respect private property and keep noise down near homes and livestock. Pack out everything you bring in, cross streams only at approved crossings and avoid riding on wet, fragile ground that is easily damaged.
Getting Help From Our Team
If you are not sure which model or trim is right for you, tell us how you plan to ride, who will ride with you and your budget. We will compare options honestly and recommend the side-by-side that best fits your needs.
Choosing Accessories Wisely
Start with accessories that add safety and protection, such as guards, lighting and quality riding gear, then add comfort and storage items. Genuine manufacturer accessories are designed to fit perfectly, and our team can help you pick options that suit your side-by-side.
Planning Your First Rides
Spend the first few outings learning how the Can-Am Commander 700 responds on familiar, easy ground. Gradually add more challenging terrain, longer distances and new conditions as your confidence grows.
Keeping Records
Write down the date and hours or miles of every service, along with parts used. A simple log helps you stay on schedule and shows future buyers that the side-by-side was cared for properly.
Side-by-Side Driving Tips
A side-by-side feels like a car, but it is built for off-road terrain, and that changes how you should drive it. Always wear the seat belt and keep the doors or nets closed. Keep your arms, hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times, even if you feel it start to tip. Slow down before turns rather than during them, and avoid sharp turns on hills or side slopes. Climb and descend hills as straight as possible, and use low range and engine braking on steep descents.
Load cargo low and centered in the box and stay within the rated cargo and towing limits. Passengers must be tall enough to sit with their back against the seat, feet flat on the floor and hands on the grab handle. Drive at speeds that suit the terrain, visibility and your experience.
Pre-Ride Checklist
A quick inspection before every ride takes only a few minutes and prevents most problems on the trail or road. Before you set out on your Can-Am Commander 700, run through these checks:
- Tires and wheels: correct pressure, no cuts or bulges, wheel nuts tight.
- Controls: throttle returns smoothly, brakes feel firm, switches and kill switch work.
- Fluids: engine oil, coolant (if liquid-cooled) and brake fluid at the right levels, with no leaks underneath.
- Chassis: no loose bolts, damaged guards or worn suspension parts.
- Lights: headlights, taillight and brake light working.
- Gear: helmet, eye protection and riding clothes ready, plus water and a phone for longer rides.
Riding Your Can-Am Commander 700 Safely
Every side-by-side rewards riders who respect it. Before your first ride, read the owner manual and every warning label, and take time to learn the controls in an open, flat area. Wear a DOT approved helmet, eye protection, gloves, long sleeves, long pants and over-the-ankle boots every time you ride. Ride within your skill level, slow down on unfamiliar ground and never ride after drinking alcohol. Youth riders should only ride machines sized for their age, and always with adult supervision.
Formal training is one of the best investments you can make. The Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association (ROHVA) offers rider courses and free safety resources that help new and experienced riders build good habits. Many riders also follow the responsible riding principles promoted by Tread Lightly, which help keep trails open and protect the outdoors for everyone.
Storage and Seasonal Care
A little seasonal care keeps your side-by-side ready to ride. Before a long break, wash and dry it thoroughly, change the engine oil, add fuel stabilizer and run the engine briefly to circulate it, then connect a battery tender. Store it in a dry, covered space and set the tires to the recommended pressure. When the season starts again, check every fluid, the brakes, tire pressure, lights and controls before heading out. Keeping a simple log of services, parts and repairs also helps protect resale value if you decide to upgrade in the future.
Official manuals, genuine parts, recall information and accessories are available from the official Can-Am website, and our team is always happy to help you find the right parts or service advice.
