The 2026 Mule SX 4x4 XC LE is a compact, rugged two-seater utility side-by-side built for practical jobs, property work, and trail chores. Under the hood is a 401 cc air-cooled, 4-stroke single-cylinder engine with fuel injection, delivering reliable low-end torque for hauling and towing. Transmission is a smooth CVT with selectable 2WD/4WD and a dual-mode rear differential with lock ideal for muddy, rough, or uneven ground. The bed handles up to ~400 lb of cargo and the UTV can tow about 1,100 lb, while still fitting neatly in the bed of a full-size truck thanks to its compact footprint. Added touches like cast-aluminum wheels, 4 LED headlights, a roof, and special graphics give it a more finished, utility-ready appearance without sacrificing practicality.
