The intake device has: an air intake duct ( 15 ) connected to the engine; an air cleaner device ( 21 ) connected to an air-intake upstream end of the air intake duct and stored in the storage box; and an extended air intake duct ( 16 ) connected to an air inlet of the air cleaner device. An air inlet ( 16 A) of the extended air intake duct is located above a lower face ( 81 ) of the cargo bed and between the seat and the cargo bed.
1. A utility vehicle comprising:
a chassis;
at least one seat row provided on the chassis;
a cargo bed provided behind the at least one seat row;
an engine provided on the chassis;
an intake device for supplying combustion air to the engine; and
a storage box for storing equipment of the engine, wherein
the intake device has:
an air intake duct connected to the engine;
an air cleaner device connected to an air-intake upstream end of the air intake duct and stored in the storage box; and
an extended air intake duct connected to an air inlet of the air cleaner device,
wherein an air inlet of the extended air intake duct is located above a lower face of the cargo bed and between the at least one seat row and the cargo bed outside of the storage box.
2. The utility vehicle according to claim 1 , comprising
a side cover for covering a side of the chassis in a vehicle width direction, wherein the air inlet of the extended air intake duct is directed toward the side cover from an inner side in the vehicle width direction at a fixed interval.
3. The utility vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the air inlet of the extended air intake duct is directed toward a backrest of the at least one seat row from a rear side of the at least one seat row at a fixed interval so as to open toward the backrest.
4. The utility vehicle according to claim 1 , comprising:
a V-belt continuously variable transmission linked to the engine; and
a cooling duct connected to the V-belt continuously variable transmission and supplying cooling air to the V-belt continuously variable transmission, wherein
an air inlet of the cooling duct is located in the storage box.
5. A utility vehicle comprising:
a chassis;
at least one seat row provided on the chassis;
a cargo bed provided behind the at least one seat row;
an engine provided on the chassis;
a V-belt continuously variable transmission linked to the engine; and
a cooling duct connected to the V-belt continuously variable transmission and supplying cooling air to the V-belt continuously variable transmission, wherein
an air inlet of the cooling duct is located above a lower face of the cargo bed and between the at least one seat row and the cargo bed outside of the storage box.
6. The utility vehicle according to claim 5 , comprising a side cover for covering a side of the chassis, wherein the air inlet of the cooling duct is opposite to the side cover from an inner side in the vehicle width direction at a fixed interval.
7. The utility vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein the air inlet of the cooling duct is opposite to a backrest of the at least one seat row from a rear side of the at least one seat row at a fixed interval so as to open toward the backrest.
