Arctic Cat hits a new level of
ROV performance with automotive-
inspired styling and rider
comfort on the 2015 Arctic Cat
Prowler 700 XT EPS. This do-everything
machine matches all-new
body styling and rider-friendly
features with a proven chassis
and engine package. The result is
a smart utility side-by-side that
delivers sporting fun, yet with the
quality, comfort and convenience
that riders expect from their cars
and trucks.
The new Arctic Cat Prowler 700 XT bodywork features
an automotive style hood with a
3.0-cu.-ft. box offering 25 lbs. of
payload that’s more usable and
accessible than previous designs.
It’s complemented by a new dash
and console layout featuring a
large glovebox, center cubby and
dash-mounted shift lever. And it’s
topped with a new LED/halogen
headlight system that provides
improved lighting options.
Arctic Cat focused on improved
rider comfort with the new design,
with emphasis on improved
ergonomics and expanded occupant
space. All-new shoulder and
foot restraints are lower profile,
easing vehicle entry and exit
while providing 3.125 in. of additional
shoulder space for both
occupants. They’re matched by
a new fully variable tilt steering
wheel that provides an additional
3.0 in. of usable clearance for the
driver’s legs, plus more ergonomically
friendly gas and brake pedals.
Vehicle entry and exit have
never been so easy and comfortable,
with an equal improvement
in driving comfort.
A new sound reduction system
on the clutch system and softer
suspension calibration further
contribute to the Prowler’s overall
improvement in comfort.
These new features are
matched by driver-friendly Variable
Assist Electronic Power
Steering (EPS) that begins at engine
idle to provide significantly
reduced steering effort when in
4WD, especially when the differential
lock is engaged. Arctic Cat
EPS reduces the torque necessary
to steer the Prowler when changing
direction with a loaded cargo
box or navigating tough obstacles
like rocks, deep mud or logs. The
result is a light steering input effort,
but with enough feedback so
the driver senses the tire contact
patch in relation to the terrain.
Power comes from the liquidcooled
H1 700 4-stroke engine
with the spot-on calibration of
Electronic Fuel Injection, now
featuring a closed-loop system
with increased performance
and mileage. That power transfers
through the Duramatic
Automatic transmission, which
features High/Low/Reverse/Park
and dynamic engine breaking. The
front locking 4WD differential
is activated with an all-in-one
2WD/4WD/Differential rocker
switch button for quick and
simple shifts.
The chassis features a ROPScertified
and Wildcat-inspired
round tube canopy. Out back, a
rugged, composite tilting cargo
box offers 600 lbs. of payload capacity
and a pickup-style tailgate
that’s built to handle work and
play. The chassis features fullyindependent,
double A-arm front
and rear suspensions boasting 10
in. of travel, 10 in. of ground clearance,
and a rear-mounted swaybar
for enhanced ride quality. |
