854-cc (52.1-cu in.) diesel engine

The machine is powered by an 854-cc (52.1-cu in.), 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-cycle diesel engine. It produces 48 Nm (35.5-lb-ft) of torque at 2600 rpm.

The advanced engine delivers superb starting, idling, and throttle response during operation.

The engine offers the following performance and reliability features:

• Indirect-injection diesel with glow plugs ensures fast starts in cold temperatures
• 17.1 kW (22.9 hp*) at 3600 rpm
• Overhead valve design for greater efficiency and fuel economy
• Spin-on oil filter for easy servicing
• Quiet operation through the entire rpm range
• Molybdenum-coated pistons
• High-stiffness cylinder block and gearcase
• High-flow water pump and optimized water jackets maintain a steady operating temperature and eliminate hot spots
• Full-pressure lubrication system
• In-line mechanical fuel pump
• Five-point, rubber isolated for quiet operation and minimal vibration
• Dry replaceable dual-element air cleaner with remote intake and a restriction indicator
• See-through coolant recovery tank permits the operator to check the coolant level without removing the radiator cap
• Open front grille allows proper air flow and ventilation to the radiator.

XUV front suspension detail

To complement the robust frame, 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.

M-trim units with factory-installed cabs and R-trim units have heavy-duty front and rear shocks installed from the factory.

• A higher spring rate and higher preload force versus standard springs prevent the vehicle from sagging with a heavy payload.
• These heavy-duty shocks help with the heavier weight of the cab and when attachments are installed, like blades.

Dual A-arm independent front suspension features include:

• 201 mm (7.9 in.) of travel provides ample wheel travel to keep all four wheels on the ground for superior traction, excellent ride quality, and vehicle control
• Heavy-duty nodular cast-iron knuckles support the 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
• Coil-over shocks absorb the most demanding terrain

XUV rear suspension detail

Dual A-arm independent rear suspension features include:

• Unequal length and dual A-arm construction for superior wheel control and travel
• 231 mm (9.1 in.) of total travel provides ample wheel travel to 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
• Rear sway bar for lateral stability
