Powertrain 570-cm3 (34.8-cu in.) gasoline engine
The Gator™ XUV560E Crossover Series Utility Vehicles are powered by a 570-cm3 (34.8-cu in.), V-twin gasoline engine. The carburetor is tuned for rapid throttle response, reliable cold-weather starting, smooth mid-range power delivery and quiet idling.
The engine offers the following performance and reliability features:
* The engine horsepower information is provided by the engine manufacturer to be used for comparison purposes only. The actual operating horsepower will be less.
Digital instrument display (fuel not on 560E models)
Sealed under-hood storage
In-dash cup holders and sealed glove box
S4 optional under-seat storage
Spacious operator’s platform (shown on XUV590M S4)
The cargo box consists of a high-density polyethylene copolymer composite material that eliminates rust, dents, and reduces noise. This large, one-piece design has rounded inside corners to ensure material removal when tilted. The composite box is highly ribbed and supported with a welded, steel-ladder structure to ensure hard-driving performance and longevity. The three highly styled exterior pieces are made of TPO for extra durability.
Tailgate handle
Tailgate pivot and removal feature
Removable lanyards
The tailgate can be opened or removed for easier cleanout and to carry longer items. It features truck-like performance and can be operated with one hand.
The tailgate’s pivot point is made of hardened steel for durability and designed for tool-free removal. The standard lanyards can also be disconnected without tools to remove the tailgate for convenient loading and unloading tasks.
Integrated handle for manual cargo box tilt (both sides)
Tilted cargo box
The cargo box ease of use is critical to performing tasks quickly and efficiently. Starting with the truck-style tailgate, the removal of content in this cargo box could not be easier. The manual release also functions as the lift lever, done in a smooth, one-step motion. It can even be tilted from both sides of the vehicle. To reduce the overall effort of lift, the pivot point of the cargo box is closer to the center. The combination of easy-to-use attributes makes this cargo box best-in-class.
For servicing the vehicle’s systems, the cargo box is easily removable. With the removal of two bolts, the cargo box can easily be detached from the vehicle frame.
Integrated tie-down point in cargo box bed
Additional tie-down points
The cargo box offers integrated tie-down points for increased versatility. Tie-down points are located in the following areas:
Cargo box rail system
Box mat
Cargo box wall extensions (shown on RSX)
