Side-by-side vehicle having air-intake unit facing cargo carrier

A side-by-side vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle body frame including a cabin frame part surrounding a riding space in which seats for a driver and a passenger are provided;
• an engine which is mounted on the vehicle body frame and generates driving power for allowing the side-by-side vehicle to travel;
• an air-intake unit including in an inside thereof, an air-intake passage through which intake-air flows to the engine, and an air inlet through which the intake-air is introduced into the air-intake passage;
• and
• a cargo carrier having a loading space with a depressed shape in a state in which the cargo carrier is supported by the vehicle body frame,
• wherein the air-intake unit is disposed so that the air inlet is directed downward and faces a surface of the cargo carrier,
• wherein the cargo carrier includes a bottom surface of the loading space, a side surface protruding upward from a side end of the bottom surface, and a shoulder surface protruding outward in a vehicle width direction, from an upper end of the side surface, and
• wherein the air inlet of the air-intake unit faces the shoulder surface from above.
