Never switch the drive train again.

Club Car introduces its XRT 1500 SE as the first fully automatic, on-demand, rough terrain 4x4 utility vehicle that seats four people. The XRT 1500’s exclusive IntelliTrack technology automatically transfers power to the wheel or wheels that need traction. This fully mechanical system senses four-wheel situations and adjusts itself without any levers, buttons or switches.

The vehicle has four forward-facing seats and comes equipped with a rustproof twin I-beam aluminum chassis, a fully independent front suspension, automotive-style 4-wheel disc brakes and all-terrain tires. The UV has a 1,600-lb. total capacity and a 15.3-ft. cargo box with an 800-lb. bed load capacity. It also has a certified rollover protective structure (ROPS) and an adjustable tilt steering column. The XRT 1500 SE has a maximum speed of 25 mph.

The UVs are available with a 20-hp, 614cc Honda gas engine or 20-hp, 719cc Kubota diesel engine. Price of the XRT 1500 SE is $11,800 with the gas engine and $12,950 with the diesel. Contact Club Car, Dept. FIN, Box 204658, Atlanta, GA 30917-4658, 800/258-2227, www.clubcar.com.
