Abstract

The application discloses a side-by-side utility vehicle. The side-by-side utility vehicle includes a frame, a cockpit, a prime mover assembly, and an intake and exhaust system. The cockpit is defined by the frame, with a steering mechanism and at least one seat arranged inside the cockpit. The intake and exhaust system includes a first intake manifold and a first exhaust manifold. The prime mover assembly includes an engine, a first shift assembly, and a second shift assembly. The engine has at least one cylinder. The cylinder is closer to the rear wheels than the second shift assembly, and the second shift assembly is closer to the seat than the cylinder. The first intake manifold is closer to the seat(s) than the first exhaust manifold. The engine defines a first location point and the seat(s) defines a second location point, the ratio of a distance between the first location point and the second location point to a wheel base is in the range from 0.22 to 0.49. The heat source generated by the engine of the application is away from the driver, improving the comfort, increasing the storage space, and facilitating the maintenance.
