A utility vehicle, which includes a seat and can travel on rough terrain, is provided. The seat includes a sitting part that can seat three passengers side by side in a right-left direction that is a width direction of the vehicle, and a backrest part. The sitting part includes a first sitting part in a left region, a second sitting part in a right region, and a third sitting part in a central region, in the right-left direction. The third sitting part includes a protruding part protruding upward of the first and second sitting parts. The height of a sitting surface of the third sitting part relative to sitting surfaces of the first and second sitting parts monotonously decreases from rear to front.

Vehicle and vehicle seat

A utility vehicle includes a pair of left and right wheels; a drive source that drives the wheels; and a control device capable of individually controlling rotational speeds of the wheels, wherein in a case where the control device determines that a predetermined tight turn execution condition has been satisfied, the control device executes tight turn control for controlling the wheels so that a rotational speed of an outer wheel becomes relatively higher than a rotational speed of an inner wheel in a turning direction of the utility vehicle.

Utility vehicle

A utility vehicle includes an electronic control unit configured to control electronically controlled suspension devices. The electronic control unit is disposed in an internal space formed between a front panel and a dash panel and is located at a higher level than a seat portion of a driver seat. In a vehicle width direction, the electronic control unit is located toward a driver seat region of the dash panel with respect to a center region of the dash panel.

A utility vehicleincludes a vehicle body, seatsR having seat bottomsand seat backsattached to the vehicle body, and an electric component boxhaving an access openingpositioned at the rear of the seat back. The seatR further has a detacherthat detachably attaches the seat backto the vehicle body

A vehicle includes wheels, suspension links, a torsion bar, and electronically controlled dampers. The suspension links support the wheels. The torsion bar generates a force to resist a tilting of the vehicle in the body roll direction. The electronic control dampers connect the torsion bar to the suspension links. At least a portion of each suspension links is located in front of the corresponding electronically controlled damper.

Vehicle

A utility vehicle includes a wheel, a vehicle body frame supported by the wheel, a suspension device connecting the wheel to the vehicle body frame, and an acceleration sensor mounted on the suspension device. The suspension device includes: a below-shock absorber member including an arm swingably connecting the wheel to the vehicle body frame; and a shock absorber connecting the below-shock absorber member to the vehicle body frame. The acceleration sensor is mounted on the arm.

An instrument panel for a leisure vehicle includes a display including a first region including a central part of the display, the first region being configured to display a predetermined image set by a user or a video from a camera installed in the vehicle. The display also includes a second region including at least a part of a peripheral part of the display, the second region being configured to display travelling information indicating a travelling condition.

Instrument panel for leisure vehicle

A protection device of a vehicle suspension device includes a vehicle body frame, a wheel, a knuckle that rotatably supports the wheel, a suspension arm that connects the vehicle body frame and the knuckle and is configured to be swingable up and down along with up-and-down movement of the wheel with an end portion attached to the vehicle body frame being a pivot point, a shock absorber that has an upper end attached to the vehicle body frame and a lower end attached to the suspension arm, and is configured to buffer swinging movement in an up-and-down direction of the suspension arm, and an absorber cover attached to the suspension arm and covering a periphery of the shock absorber.

Protection structure for vehicle suspension device

A utility vehicle includes a vehicle interior, a front panel that defines a front side of the vehicle interior and extends in a vertical direction, a floor panel that defines a lower side of the vehicle interior and extends from a lower side of the front panel to a rear side, and is provided with a tunnel portion extending in a front-rear direction on a center side in a vehicle width direction, a propeller shaft that is disposed in the front-rear direction in the tunnel portion and extends to a front side with respect to the front panel, and a cover member that covers space between the propeller shaft and the tunnel portion on a front side of the tunnel portion.

A utility vehicle includes a seat, and a back panel with at least a part of the back panel located behind the seat. The back panel has a box portion that has an opening facing a cabin, and a lid covers the opening. An electrical component is housed in the box portion.

A utility vehicle includes: a seat; a back panel having at least a part disposed behind the seat; and a battery disposed behind the back panel. The battery is disposed above a seating surface of the seat.

The invention provides a mounting structure for a power unit of a utility vehicle. The mounting structure includes a pair of left and right front support portions supporting a front end of the power unit, and a rear support portion supporting a rear end of the power unit. The front support portions and the rear support portion are disposed to cause a centroid of a triangle connecting the front support portions and the rear support portion to agree with a centroid of the power unit in a planar view of the power unit.
