Sea-Doo’s 2027 lineup is stretching in two directions at once.
At the accessible end of the personal-watercraft range, the new Spark X brings a 110-horsepower Rotax 1000 ACE engine to Sea-Doo’s lightweight platform. At the other end, the RXP-X, RXT-X and GTX Limited move to a 350-horsepower Rotax 1630 ACE engine, with a limited RXP-X Senna 350 sitting at the top of the range.
The result is a lineup that gives Sea-Doo several very different stories to tell: entry-level fun, freestyle performance, high-speed riding, luxury touring and family boating.
For Canadian shoppers, the breadth may matter as much as the headline horsepower.
The Spark gets a serious performance step
The Spark has long been Sea-Doo’s lightweight, accessible entry point.
For 2027, the family gains the Spark X and Spark X Trixx, both using a new 110-hp version of the Rotax 1000 ACE engine.
BRP says the 110-hp engine gives the Spark X a 15 percent higher top speed while improving acceleration, responsiveness and power-to-weight performance.
The Spark X also includes Sea-Doo’s Intelligent Debris Free system, which lets the rider reverse pump flow to help clear debris without entering the water. A speed regulator and boarding step are standard on the Spark X, while its Blue Mist and Deep Black presentation is designed to distinguish it visually from the rest of the family.
Canadian pricing shows how Sea-Doo is positioning the new machine.
The 2027 base Spark currently starts at C$8,849 on Sea-Doo’s Canadian site. The Spark X starts at C$13,599, while the Spark X Trixx is listed from C$13,349, before applicable transportation, preparation, registration and taxes.
That creates a clear ladder inside what used to be thought of primarily as Sea-Doo’s budget-oriented family.
The Spark can still be the entry point, but the Spark X gives riders a way to buy materially more performance without immediately stepping into a larger GTI, GTR or full-size performance platform.
At the top, 350 horsepower becomes the headline
Sea-Doo is also raising the performance ceiling.
For 2027, the RXP-X, RXT-X and GTX Limited are offered with the Rotax 1630 ACE producing 350 hp.
The Canadian starting prices currently published by Sea-Doo are C$29,549 for the RXP-X 350, C$29,149 for the RXT-X 350 and C$29,749 for the GTX Limited 350.
Each uses that output differently.
The RXP-X remains the race-focused model, built around sharper handling and a more aggressive riding position.
The RXT-X combines high performance with a more stable open-water platform and three-rider capacity.
The GTX Limited takes the same 350-hp headline into a premium touring package with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, premium audio and comfort-oriented equipment.
Sea-Doo is also offering the limited RXP-X Senna 350, created with Senna Brand as a tribute to three-time Formula 1 world champion Ayrton Senna. BRP says 1,991 units will be available worldwide, referencing the year of Senna’s third world title. In Canada, Sea-Doo currently lists the limited edition from C$34,949.
That combination of exclusivity, motorsport branding and maximum factory horsepower gives Sea-Doo a halo product well beyond the normal model-year update.
The 2027 lineup is not only about speed
The performance numbers will get the attention, but some of the quieter changes may matter more to everyday owners.
Sea-Doo is expanding availability of its 10.25-inch touchscreen display to additional PWC models, including the GTX and GTR-X.
On the Switch pontoon side, 2027 marks five years since the platform entered the market.
Switch models with 230- and 300-hp powertrains gain availability of the larger 10.25-inch display. Switch Sport models receive rear corner doors, while certain Switch Cruise configurations add factory double-bimini options. BRP also says 230-hp Switch models receive a larger 176-litre fuel tank, and all Switch units get an updated automatic bilge pump.
Those are less dramatic than a 350-hp engine, but they reinforce how Sea-Doo is developing the lineup across recreation, touring and family use instead of relying on one performance story.
What the lineup means for Canadian shoppers
Sea-Doo now has a wider performance and price ladder for customers to navigate.
That makes intended use more important.
A first-time owner looking for lightweight simplicity may still be best served by a base Spark.
A rider who likes the Spark’s size but wants more acceleration now has a clearer factory option in the Spark X.
Someone shopping primarily for rough-water speed may be looking at the RXT-X.
A performance rider focused on buoy-course handling may prefer the RXP-X.
And a buyer who wants premium touring comfort can reach the same 350-hp output in the GTX Limited.
The horsepower figure alone does not tell shoppers which machine is right.
Hull design, rider capacity, storage, technology, ergonomics, price and intended use all matter.
That is why model discovery needs to move beyond simply listing year, make and model.
What dealers should watch
The 2027 announcements also arrive while dealers may still have prior-model inventory to merchandise.
A new 350-hp engine or a new Spark X can create immediate excitement, but it can also change how shoppers perceive outgoing units.
That does not automatically make a 2026 machine a poor buy.
It makes comparison more important.
Dealers that clearly explain the differences between 2026 and 2027 models can give shoppers a reason to consider both. A customer may value the latest engine. Another may prefer the economics of an outgoing unit if the feature difference does not matter to the way they ride.
The strongest retail story is not “new is always better.”
It is helping the customer understand what changed and whether that change is worth paying for.
The bigger Sea-Doo strategy
The 2027 lineup shows Sea-Doo trying to protect both ends of its market.
The Spark continues to create an accessible path onto the water, while the Spark X adds a more aspirational step inside the same lightweight family.
At the top, 350 hp gives the brand a new performance headline and a premium halo.
Between those points sit recreation, tow-sports, touring and Switch products designed around very different owners.
That breadth gives Sea-Doo more than one way to attract attention — and gives Canadian shoppers more reason to compare the lineup carefully before choosing their next ride.
