Digital Cluster & Tilt Steering Wheel

The smart new Digital Panel alerts you to all major vehicle functions with seat belt, parking brake alarms, overheating and intermediate gear control indicators. The modern, white LCD display provides excellent visibility at all times. Designed to match the bold style of the Sidekick, the ergonomic steering wheel can be adjusted to fit your posture for easier handling and greater comfort. 

LED Headlights & DC Outlet

Let your Sidekick lead the way with cutting-edge LED headlights that offer improved illumination for outstanding visibility. Optional LED available for four LED lights for even greater visibility. Charge your phone or other electronic device on the go with convenient DC outlet, or use optional lighting equipment when out in the field as well.

Half Doors & 60:40 Split Bench Seating

Half doors keep out dirt, brush and other unwanted elements while making it easy to get in and out. Shoulder guards on the ROPS help keep everyone inside the vehicle during operating. The split-bench seat style is ergonomically designed to provide hours of working comfort. The seat design provides the appropriate space for both driver and passenger.

Storage

Large compartments under the split-bench seats are ideal for storing tools, tie-downs and personal items. A convenient cup holder keeps your beverage tumbler or travel mug secure and always within reach. A large glove box on the passenger side provides quick and convenient access to personal items and frequently used gear, and  is equipped with a lock for securing personal items.

Speed Sensitive EPS

Light at low speed and firm at high speed, the Sidekick’s speed sensitive 45A EPS (electric power steering) offers exceptional steering control, improving not only handling, but also stability. Standard on all RTV-XG850 series models, the EPS ensures outstanding performance even during full payloads.

Cargo Bed

The Sidekick really shines when you’ve got a big job to do. Its heavy-duty steel cargo box can carry up to 15.2 cubic feet or half a ton (1,000 lbs.) of tools, firewood, gear and supplies. Plus, with a seriously smooth suspension and extra ground clearance, the Sidekick won’t bottom out. So go ahead, load it up!

54 HP Gasoline Engine

The Sidekick’s quick acceleration and high transport speed – up to 40 mph – comes from a powerful 54 HP gasoline engine. Idle Speed Control (ISC) and highland correction ensure stable power for any situation. Equipped with a CVT-Plus transmission, this rugged, water cooled engine provides plenty of torque for an astonishingly quick and smooth acceleration.

Engine Brake

The Sidekick’s one-way sprag clutch and centrifugal clutch provides engine-assisted deceleration, letting you concentrate on steering rather than braking and giving you dependable control down steep slopes. 

Selectable Full-Time 4WD - Sidekick

The selectable full-time 4WD system ensures outstanding traveling performance, even under heavy loads, providing superior traction. The 4WD system can easily be turned off when 2WD is enough for current driving conditions.  

Front & Rear Independent Suspension

Even when fully loaded, the Sidekick won’t bottom out. Front and rear independent suspension delivers a smooth ride with plenty of ground clearance. Equipped with high strength Urethane bushings throughout the suspension for increased durability.

CVT-Plus Transmission

The Sidekick is equipped with Kubota’s worry-free CVT-Plus Transmission. The centrifugal clutch keeps the heavy, double-cogged belt tight for minimal slippage, ensuring fast response and excellent belt durability. Fully shielded to keep out dust and water, the CVT-Plus also cools the CVT belt with a large cooling fan for even greater durability.
