A side-by-side utility vehicle includes a frame, a cockpit, a prime mover assembly having an engine, a transmission assembly, and a gear shift assembly, and an intake and exhaust system having a combustion air intake manifold and a combustion exhaust manifold. The combustion air intake manifold is closer to the seat(s) than the combustion exhaust manifold. The engine defines a cylinder head mid-point and the seat(s) define a seat beam front point, the ratio of a distance between the cylinder head mid-point and the seat beam front point to a wheel base is in the range from 0.22 to 0.49. The heat source generated by the engine is away from the driver, improving the comfort, increasing the storage space, and facilitating the maintenance.
