Abstract
A vehicle includes an engine main body positioned behind a seat and at least partially in the center of the vehicle width direction; a first air cleaner positioned above the engine main body so as to define and form a part of an intake passage of the internal combustion engine; and a second air cleaner disposed upstream of the first air cleaner so as to define and form a part of the intake passage, in which the second air cleaner is positioned outside the first air cleaner in the vehicle width direction. This configuration can relatively shorten the length of an intake passage including an air cleaner in vehicles, including vehicles that are frequently used on rough terrain.
