Dual A-arm front and rear suspension provides a smooth ride over challenging terrain and excellent hauling characteristics

XUV front suspension detail

To complement the most capable frame available in a high-performance utility vehicle, the XUV is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension.

A dual A-arm front and rear suspension provides a smooth ride over challenging terrain and excellent hauling characteristics.

The entire suspension system has been optimized to handle no cargo to maximum cargo without compromising ride quality or vehicle stability.

DUAL A-ARM FRONT SUSPENSION FEATURES INCLUDE:

203.2 mm (8 in.) of travel provides ample compression and wheel extension, which keep all four wheels on the ground for superior traction and vehicle control
17.5-mm (0.6875-in.) solid anti-roll bar with fully rubber isolated connecting links and pivots for minimal vehicle body roll and quiet operation
Heavy-duty nodular cast-iron knuckles to support the strut, constant-velocity (CV) shaft, and wheel
Maintenance-free rubber torsional A-arm pivots for long life and quiet operation
CV shaft protection from sticks that may puncture the rubber boot
Front sway bear for balanced handling

XUV rear suspension detail

Dual A-arm independent rear suspension features include:

Unequal length, dual A-arm construction for superior wheel control and travel
228.6 mm (9 in.) of total travel provides ample compression and wheel extension, which keep all four wheels on the ground for superior traction, excellent ride quality, and vehicle control
Coil over shocks absorb the most demanding terrain
A-arms made from square/rectangular tubing reduce weight while remaining rigid
Heavy-duty nodular cast-iron uprights support wheel loads with a double row of ball bearings
CV driveshaft protection from sticks that may puncture the rubber boot

Superior terrain capability

The Gator™ XUV Crossover Series Utility Vehicle has a precision-engineered drivetrain system that fully utilizes engine power, optimizing acceleration, hauling, towing, and hill-climbing capabilities. Power is transmitted from the engine through a continuously variable clutch system to the transaxle.

Key elements of the drive system include:

VARIABLE-SPEED DRIVE

Variable-speed drive

The variable-speed drive consists of two clutches and a drive belt:

Drive clutch is attached to the engine.
Driven clutch is attached to the transaxle.

Features include:

The engine braking system utilizes a tight belt for operation, requiring an idler sleeve on the primary clutch for neutral. The secondary clutch is a new build on shaft design that utilizes a cam to tune the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle. The clutch will stay engaged, providing deceleration until approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT™) air intake draws in 50 percent more air vs. previous designs to reduce heat and the amount of water ingestion into the CVT system. The system will reduce belt slipping and improve durability.
A low- and high-speed forward gear offering:
- Low range is 0 km/h to 43 km/h (0 mph to 27 mph), 825M S4
- Low range is 0 km/h to 24 km/h (0 mph to 15 mph), 855M S4
- High range is 0 km/h to 71 km/h (0 mph to 44 mph), 825M S4
- High range is 0 km/h to 51 km/h (0 mph to 32 mph), 855M S4
Ability to creep along slowly to maneuver in tight spaces
Standard full clutch enclosure with high speed fan provides longer belt and clutch life
High-ratio clutches with three cam weights for maximum belt clamp load in high torque conditions
Powertrain reduction ratios:
- The complete reduction ratios range for high gear is (8.6:1 at top speed and 42:1 at initial clutch engagement
- The complete reduction ratios range for low gear is (17.9:1 at top speed and 86.8:1 at initial clutch engagement
- NOTE: Delivery and torque to the ground depends on tire size which is a function of nominal size and pressure.

How the variable-speed drive works:

As engine speed increases, the spring-loaded drive clutch is closed by weights being forced out by centrifugal force.
As the drive clutch closes, the belt rides up to the largest diameter of the drive clutch and forces open the driven clutch.
With the belt running in the smallest diameter of the driven clutch, the speed being transferred to the transaxle is increased.
The driven clutch is designed to sense varying loads (inclines, mud, etc.) and constantly adjusts drive speed upward or downward so that engine rpm remains optimal.

Operator interface
- On-demand true 4WD system with an auto-locking front differential and dash-mounted electronic rocker switch is best-in-class; when the rocker switch is in the on (4WD) position, the front differential will automatically lock for extra traction when needed, but when the rocker switch is in the off (2WD) position, the vehicle will remain in 2WD
  - Provides exceptional traction in challenging conditions
  - Maintains turf-friendly operation in 2WD mode
  - Illuminated for low light operation
Transaxle
- Two-speed fully enclosed oil bath transaxle allows for superior pulling ability
- Cast aluminum design is the most robust in the industry
- Helical forward and reverse gears are used for quiet operation
- Rear traction assist (differential lock) is built in and can be engaged on demand
  - Allows locking the rear drive wheels together
  - Provides increased traction in tough spots
  - NOTE: Differential design reduces scuffing of the turf during turns because it allows the inside wheels to turn slower than the outside wheels
- Neutral start safety interlock for engine ignition system
- Large, sealed bearings are located inside the housing for better protection and durability
- Contains gear case for transferring power to the MFWD
- Splined shaft interfaces for maximum torque transfer and durability
- All drive gears machined from highest grade gear steel
- Protected by a skid plate
Mechanical front-wheel drive
- Electronic design is auto-locking for ease of use
  - Performs like a locking differential when engaged, but like an open differential when cornering
  - Offers positive engagement of both front wheels in forward and reverse as a differential package
  - Automatic engagement on the fly—no shift linkages required
- Protected by a skid plate and frame
Drive shafts
- Rear CV shaft diameter measures 27 mm (1.1 in.) and designed for peak engine and braking torque
- Front CV shaft diameter measures 23.9 mm (0.94 in.) and designed for peak engine torque
  Propshaft (transaxle to MFWD shaft) diameter measures 23 mm (0.91 in.) and designed for peak engine torque
- All CV Shaft and propshaft joints are maintenance free and protected by exclusive Neoprene boots for durability

Extra-durable deluxe cargo box ensures hard-working performance and longevity

Deluxe cargo box

The deluxe cargo box consists of a 15 percent glass-filled polypropylene composite material that eliminates rust, dents, and reduces noise.

DELUXE CARGO-BOX TAILGATE
