XUV front suspension detail
To complement the comfortable operation station, the XUV560 and XUV590 Series are equipped with four-wheel independent suspension. This unique suspension set-up provides an unparalleled ride over challenging terrain and excellent handling through corners.
The engineering team, in collaboration with engineering firms that consult with Formula 1®, NASCAR®, and INDYCAR® teams, built a capable suspension system for class-leading operator comfort no matter what the terrain.
Dual A-arm front suspension features include:
- Dual, wide arch A-arm design provides maximum front-wheel control, precise steering, and maximum ground clearance out to the wheel
- 203 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
- Adjustable coil-over shocks absorb the most demanding terrain
- Solid anti-roll bar with fully rubber isolated connecting links and pivots is tuned to provide the most agile and predictable handling
- Camber during compression to compensate for body roll and to maintain an optimal tire contact patch for improved cornering grip
- Increasing vehicle width during compression for additional stability.
- High-strength ASTM 80-55-06 ductile cast-iron knuckle and upper A-arm to support the high stresses of the shocks, constant-velocity (CV) shaft, and wheels
- Automotive-style, fully boxed and welded, high-strength steel, lower A-arms to minimize unsprung mass and maximize strength
- Maintenance-free, rubber torsional A-arm pivots for long life and quiet operation

Optional Fox™ Shocks are available to factory install
Exclusive aluminum-body, high-pressure monotube FOX racing shocks
- Fully adjustable spring preload for different driving styles
- High-pressure nitrogen gas is separated from the damping oil by an internal floating piston (IFP). The separation prevents aeration (frothing) and viscosity degradation of the oil which improves damping consistency and performance fade.
- Pressure and heat generation in the monotube is less than a traditional twin-tube shock, allowing for better vehicle control in aggressive conditions.
- The single aluminum shell of the monotube design allows for more efficient heat rejection and lower overall unsprung mass.
- Mounting the shaft end of the shock to the suspension arm lowers the unsprung mass of the suspension system, leading to improved suspension response.

Precision-engineered drive system optimizes acceleration, hauling, towing, and hill-climbing capabilities
The Gator™ XUV Mid-Size Crossover Series Utility Vehicles have 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 (shown on XUV590 engine)
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:
- Ability to creep along slowly to maneuver in tight spaces
- Standard full-clutch enclosure with a high intake and exhaust ensures a dry belt when crossing water
- High-speed fan on drive clutch provides longer belt and clutch life by keeping components cool
- TEAM® industry clutches provide high performance and longevity
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.
Four-wheel drive (4WD), transaxle, mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD), and constant-velocity (CV) shafts
XUV590 transaxle
XUV560/XUV590 MFWD
4WD
- Selectable 4WD system with a limited slip front differential and dash-mounted electronic rocker switch
- Provides exceptional traction in challenging conditions
- Maintains turf-friendly operation in two-wheel drive (2WD) mode
- Combined with rear traction assist (differential lock), provides excellent traction in challenging conditions
- More control descending hills with 4WD engaged, as all four wheels help slow the vehicle down
- Clutch engagement still necessary to prevent free coasting
Transaxle
- Low, high, neutral, reverse, and park transaxle
- Automotive-style, integrated park position in transmission
- To shift out of park, service brake must be pressed to release the parking solenoid. An audible click will be heard and allows the vehicle to shift out of park into the desired gear.
- Low range for maximum torque delivered to the wheels for hauling, pushing, and pulling
- High range for maximum vehicle speed
- Cast-aluminum design for lower weight
- Helical forward and reverse gears are used for quiet operation
- Rear traction assist (differential lock) is controlled with an electronic rocker switch
- NOTE: Locked differential design may increase scuffing of the turf during turns because the rear wheels are turning at the same speed through a turn.
- 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
- Vertically oriented oil drain for easy maintenance
- Protected by a skid plate
MFWD
- Electronically selectable by the operator
- Offers limited slip functionality for precision steering and great traction while pointing and shooting out of a corner.
- Near instantaneous torque to the front wheels after engaging switch
- Vertically oriented oil drain for easy maintenance
- Protected by a steel skid plate and frame
Drive shafts
- Front and rear CV shaft diameter measures 23 mm (0.9 in.) and designed for high engine torque
- Propshaft (transaxle to MFWD shaft) diameter measures 23.8 mm (0.94 in.) and designed for high engine torque
- All CV shaft joints are maintenance free and protected by exclusive inboard and outboard thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) boots for durability. TPE material is more puncture resistant than neoprene, which is used by many competitors.
