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 (shown on XUV590 engine)
The variable-speed drive consists of two clutches and a drive belt:

586-cc (35.8-cu in.) gasoline engine
Radiator
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:
* The engine horsepower information is provided by the engine manufacturer to be used for comparison purposes only. The actual operating horsepower will be less.
Instrument panel and backlit switches
Sealed under-hood storage
Ergonomically placed controls
In-dash cup holders and sealed glove box
S4 optional under-seat storage
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)
Optional accessories for the cargo box include (see price pages or JDConfigurator for complete list):
| Length | 82 cm (32.3 in.) |
| Width | 120.9 cm (47.6 in.) |
| Depth | 29.7 cm (11.7 in.) |
| Volume | 0.25 m3 (8.9 cu ft) |
| Weight capacity | 227 kg (500 lb) |
| Dump angle Bed height (from ground) |
45 degrees 76.3 cm (30 in.) |
CAUTION: Carrying extra-long cargo that extends beyond the box can adversely affect stability.
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.

XUV590M with power steering
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.
Optional electric power-assist steering (EPAS) system. Features of EPAS include:
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.
The exclusive, convertible cargo rack design offers rear seating for two passengers and with a flip of a lever, expands the cargo capacity of the XUV560 S4 and XUV590 S4 by 48 percent.
The convertible cargo rack design offers the ultimate in flexibility for multi-passenger seating capacity and utility.
Most of the time a vehicle is only transporting one or two people, but at any given moment a third or fourth passenger may come along. The quick and simple convertible cargo rack can be switched back and forth in seconds with a flip of a lever. It provides comfortable rear seating with choice of ample leg room or 48 percent more cargo capacity.
