Delivers quick acceleration and provides a top speed of more than 77 km/h (48 mph)

The Gator™ XUV590M Crossover Series Utility Vehicle is powered by a 586-cc (35.8-cu in.), inline twin-cylinder, electronic fuel-injected (EFI) gasoline engine. The engine is electronically controlled through an engine control unit (ECU) to ensure optimal engine performance.

The engine offers the following performance and reliability features:

• 23.8 kW (32 hp*) at 5600 rpm
• 77 km/h (48 mph) top speed
• Electronic fuel injection (EFI) with engine control unit (ECU)
• Liquid cooled
• Designed for cold-weather starting (tested to -28.9°C [-20°F])
• Wet-sump lubrication system
• Spin-on oil filter and oil pan drain accessible through skid plate for easy servicing
• High air-flow air filter
• 875-W (65 maximum amp) charging system for accessory capability (see engine section for alternator output curve)
• Spark-arresting muffler is United States Forest Service (USFS) approved
• Low fuel consumption and large 28-L (7.4-U.S. gal.) fuel tank
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliant

Four-wheel independent suspension provides unparalleled ride over challenging terrain and excellent handling through corners

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
• CV shaft protection from sticks that may puncture the rubber boot
• Anti-dive front suspension geometry provides a solid platform for confident braking
• Optimized steering geometry using ADAMS CAR simulation to minimize steering effort and maximize terrain feedback

Independent rear suspension features include:

• 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
• Unique, independent rear-suspension design ensures a great ride and protection for the CV shafts
• Adjustable coil-over shocks absorb the most demanding terrain
• 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, lower A-arm, and upper link to support the high stresses of the shocks, CV shaft, and wheels with the toughness to survive impacts from boulders
• 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.

  Power steering for excellent handling characteristics and low steering effort

The Gator™ XUV590M Utility Vehicles are equipped with rack and pinion steering with power steering. These automotive-type systems exhibit excellent handling characteristics, as well as responsive steering and low steering effort.

Automotive-type, rack-and-pinion steering features include:

Optional electric power-assist steering (EPAS) system. Features of EPAS include:

• Anti-kickback feature reduces the amount of steering unwinding when traversing difficult terrain.
• The system is speed sensing and adjusts steering effort as the speed of the vehicle changes.
  • As speed increases there is less steering assist for improved road feel.
  • As speed decreases steering assist increases to give lower steering efforts for improved maneuverability.
• A warning/functional light on the instrument panel provides self-diagnostics and a warning light in the situation of no assist.
• Torque sensor measures steering wheel input so the on-board computer can provide the appropriate output for various driving situations.
  • Steel ball-bearings secure the steering shaft and delivers smooth, responsive operation
  • Tight turn radius of 3.7 m (12.3 ft) for excellent maneuverability
  • Completely sealed rack-and-pinion for long life
  • Low steering ratio (lock-to-lock steering wheel rotations) provides more responsive steering and less operator input
  • Shaft U-joints are phased for a smooth, uninterrupted motion of the steering wheel
  • Ackerman steering design provides more responsive steering, decreases tire wear when used on hard surfaces and is turf friendly (see description below)
  • Minimal bump steer eliminates unintended vehicle direction changes when traversing terrain and permits less feedback to the steering wheel (see description below)

The tire scrubbing, which also creates unwanted heat and wear in the tire, can be eliminated by turning the inside wheel at a greater angle than the outside one (Ackerman steering).

NOTE: Some competitors use parallel steering instead of Ackerman steering.

Bump steering defines the change in the forward steering angle (thus wheel position) as the suspension travels through its full motion. A large amount of angular change (5 degrees to 7 degrees) will alter the vehicle's direction and excessively move the steering wheel.
