Kawasaki have unveiled the 2022 model of the popular entry-level, 4X4, side-by-side, the Mule SX 4X4 XC.
Just like the Mule SX, the SX 4X4 XC can fit in the bed of a full-size pickup truck only this time it has four-wheel-drive!
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Belt-driven automatic transmission with forward and reverse provides excellent riding capability. Rear differential lock for maximum traction.
SMOOTH, RELIABLE POWER
The MULE SX 4×4 XC is powered by a 401cm³, 4-stroke, OHV, air-cooled engine. Compact, lightweight and durable, the engine is extremely reliable.
IMPRESSIVE CARRYING CAPACITY
The MULE SX XC’s 905mm x 1,044mm x 245mm (L x W x H) cargo tray holds a sizable 181kg. Cargo bed features a two-lever tailgate release system for easy opening and closing.
TOUGH & RUGGED
All-steel front bumper is a standard feature, offering protection to the front of the vehicle. It is positioned close to the body for a sleek, integrated look.

DASHBOARD
The dashboard contains all indicators, information and buttons to operate the MULE SX 4×4 XC. Spaces available for additional accessories and buttons.
FUEL RANGE
A 16-litre fuel tank gives the fuel-efficient MULEs ample operating range. The fuel tank filler inlet position makes refuelling easy.
BRIGHT HEADLAMPS
Dual halogen headlamps cut a bright path. The Halogen headlamps (the same sporty units used on Kawasaki’s Teryx and Teryx4 models) contribute to the no-nonsense styling.
COMPACT DIMENSIONS
Like its Mule SX sibling, the Mule SX XC’s compact dimensions allow it to easily fit in the back of a full-sized utility / truck. The 4WD Mule SX XC track measures 1,080 mm (front) and 1,050 mm (rear) with a wheelbase of 1,780 mm. The Mule SX XC has a tight turning radius of 3.6 metres (2WD and differential unlocked) for compact manoeuvring in tight spaces.
KAWASAKI STRONG:

Engine air supply enters the air cleaner box via a snorkel intake routed in the overhead frame, ensuring the engine is provided with a steady supply of clean air.
STEERING WHEEL
Thick-grip steering wheel puts all controls within easy reach of the driver. The shape of the wheel is designed to minimise fatigue and maximise control.
HIGH GRIP 26 INCH TYRES
26” bias-ply tyres contribute to superior off-road handling. The massive tyres also add to the rugged, sporty image.
