Subaru EFI Engine

You'll get more power and efficiency from your Carryall utility vehicle with our new Subaru 404cc overhead cam engine with electronic fuel injection. It boosts horsepower by more than 30 percent and increases fuel efficiency by almost 50 percent over our previous gasoline engines.

Aluminum Frame & Chassis

Your Club Car vehicle is built from the ground up for quality and endurance with our exclusive aircraft grade all-aluminum rust-proof fram and chassis. This rustproof, corrosion resistant frame is lightweight and strong and carries a 3-year warranty.

IQ Plus

The IQ Plus drive system enables electric utility vehicles to handle many of the tough jobs that once required the strength of gasoline-powered vehicles. The 48-volt system continually provides testing and diagnostic feedback, so you can adjust performance settings based on user needs.

Limited Slip Differential

If you’re looking for a compact, versatile utility vehicle with off-the-beaten-path performance, then consider adding an optional Limited Slip Differential. With its best-in-class 14.0 hp rated Subaru® gas engine with EFI, you’ll conquer new terrain by automatically delivering traction as needed without damaging turf and operating in areas typically reserved for 4x4s.
