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.

Cargo box tailgate

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.

Cargo box tilt and removal

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 points

Additional tie-down points

The cargo box offers integrated tie-down points for increased versatility. Tie-down points are located in the following areas:

• Flip-up D-shaped rings in all four corners inside the cargo box bed
• Multiple points along the edge of the cargo box side walls
• Tie-down bars on either side of the cargo box with optional cargo box rail kit. This kit also provides a mounting system using accessories that possess the 25.4-mm (1-in.) quick clamp.

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.

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

XUV rear suspension detail

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.

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.
