Club Car's Urban UTV: An Alternative to Full-Size Trucks or Vans on Jobsites

Club Car says its new Club Car Urban utility vehicle combines the durability of a pickup truck and the efficiency of an electric vehicle to shuttle workers and supplies around the jobsite.

Two versions of the UTV are available: the non-street-legal XR and the street-legal LSV that includes three-point seatbelts, mirrors, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and a horn, plus an in-dash storage compartment and backup camera system.

The Club Car Urban is powered by the standard FLA T145 heavy-duty battery or an optional 9.2 kWh / 180 Ah, 10.2 kWh / 200 Ah, or 12.2 kWh / 240 Ah lithium-ion battery. The 12.2 kWh lithium-ion battery has a range of up to 62 miles. The XR can hit speeds up to 19 mph, while the LSV tops out at 25 mph. Both models have a 2,204-pound payload.

Configurable to meet a variety of customer needs, three bed options are available: a pickup bed, a van box or a pickup bed with a mesh cage. Three tire options – standard, all-terrain and turf – are also available for navigating a variety of terrain.

Club Car says one of the many benefits of the UTV is the low operational costs when compared to pickup trucks or vans. Wide-swinging cabin doors with a latch allow for easy access in and out of the vehicle. The bucket seats in the cab are adjustable.

The crash-tested vehicles include automotive-grade features, including rollover protection, an automatic parking brake and a reverse buzzer for safety. Additional features and options include different heater options, Bluetooth stereo, in-cab refrigerator, first aid kit and fire extinguisher.
