Club Car offers new utility vehicle
Club Car announced Aug. 3 the introduction of an entry-level utility vehicle. The new Club Car Carryall 242 is the most compact, economical utility vehicle in the company’s long history.
“This versatile vehicle replaces the Carryall 232, with significant refinements that reflect customer feedback,” said Kurt Meyer, commercial/industrial marketing manager. “It’s a smart choice for college and medical campuses, security, apartment complexes and many other users.”
Designed to navigate tight, congested areas, the Carryall 242 delivers the tightest turning radius in its class. It also offers best-in-class ground clearance for clearing curbs, best-in-class speed of 17-19 mph and best-in-class tires. Its tilting bed box carries 800 pounds, and the vehicle is easy to transport and store. In fact, it fits into the back of a pickup truck.
With an MSRP starting at $6,071, the Carryall 242 is available in gasoline- and electric-powered models. The gasoline model is powered by a Kawasaki FE350 10.4-hp.engine rated at 3,600 rpm (per SAE J1349) and boasts a 7-gallon fuel tank, the largest of any entry-level utility vehicle. For those who prefer to go green, the electric-powered, zero-emissions Carryall 242 has a 48-volt electric system with six 8-volt PowerDrive batteries. The intelligent IQ electric drivetrain system delivers excellent low-end torque, speed and range. An optional Single Point Watering System, which can be built into the vehicle during the manufacturing process, makes battery maintenance quick and easy.
The Carryall 242 is also the only entry-level utility vehicle built on a rustproof aluminum frame, and it offers the following improvements over the Carryall 232:
More leg room and increased comfort, thanks to a shorter, more ergonomically designed dash and a spacious bench seat
Pedal start
An improved optional canopy kit with predrilled holes in the cowl that make mounting the canopy and windshield a snap
Expanded lighting options
Expanded choice of colors: beige, classic blue, dark gray, green, red or white
A front cowl with an automotive painted finish for improved color matching with the rear body
