ICON EV added three commercial electric utility carts to its current lineup on August 27: the compact i20sX, box-bed i20uX, and flatbed i20uX-F. The i20uX product page lists a 1,460-pound total payload, 1,100-pound cargo-bed rating, and 2,000-pound tow rating. ICON has not posted a starting price or range figure for any of the three models.
Golf Cart Search compared ICON's live specifications with the current Cushman Hauler XL specifications on September 3. On paper, the i20uX and i20uX-F trail the electric Hauler XL by 140 pounds of total load capacity and 100 pounds of bed capacity. ICON claims 500 pounds more towing capacity than the electric Cushman configuration with the four-wheel brake option.
One ICON figure needs clarification before a fleet uses it in a bid specification. The company's i20sX announcement says its cargo bed carries 350 pounds, while the detailed i20sX product page lists 330 pounds. The comparison below uses the detailed product-page figure and identifies the difference rather than treating either number as independently tested.
What did ICON announce on August 27?
ICON published separate August 27 announcements for the i20sX, i20uX, and i20uX-F. Its active utility category now contains those three models.
The i20uX and i20uX-F share most of their published operating specifications. Each has two seats, a 6.3 kW motor, 450-amp controller, 51-volt 160-amp-hour lithium battery, four-wheel disc brakes, and an electromagnetic parking brake. ICON lists the same payload, cargo, towing, dimensions, ground clearance, and 15.1-foot turning radius for both.
Their rear bodies and curb weights differ. The i20uX has a 59-by-45.3-by-12.2-inch aluminum box with hydraulic tilt and a 1,429-pound curb weight. The i20uX-F has a 70.9-by-45.3-inch hydraulic flatbed and weighs 1,340 pounds.
The i20sX is the smaller cart. ICON gives it a 5 kW motor, the same 51-volt 160-amp-hour battery, a 690-pound total payload, a 500-pound tow rating, and a 31.5-by-44.5-by-12.2-inch cargo box. Its 110.6-inch overall length is 25.2 inches shorter than the two larger models.
The i20uX had appeared publicly before the August rollout. Golf Car News previewed it on June 19 as an upcoming addition with nearly 1,500 pounds of payload and up to 2,000 pounds of towing capacity. The dated ICON announcements establish the three-model lineup and provide the current product-page specifications; August 27 was not the i20uX's first public mention.
How does the ICON i20uX compare with the Cushman Hauler XL?
The i20uX sits close to the Hauler XL on published load ratings, but the vehicles trade places across the three main measures.
| Published specification | ICON i20uX | ICON i20uX-F | Cushman Hauler XL ELiTE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total payload or vehicle load | 1,460 lb | 1,460 lb | 1,600 lb |
| Bed load | 1,100 lb | 1,100 lb | 1,200 lb |
| Towing capacity | 2,000 lb | 2,000 lb | 1,500 lb with four-wheel brakes |
| Overall length | 135.8 in | 135.8 in | 138.88 in |
| Overall width | 49.6 in | 49.6 in | 47.25 in |
| Cargo area | 59 × 45.3 in box | 70.9 × 45.3 in flatbed | 68.5 × 47.2 in flatbed |
| Ground clearance | 6.7 in unloaded, 6.3 in loaded | 6.7 in unloaded, 6.3 in loaded | 5 in |
| Published starting MSRP | Not listed | Not listed | $12,649 |
ICON calls its figure "Total Payload Capacity," while Cushman uses "Vehicle Load Capacity." Both companies publish a separate bed rating, but neither product page supplies a shared test protocol. The 140-pound comparison therefore describes the manufacturers' current specifications, not a controlled load test.
The rear cargo dimensions also need a like-for-like reading. ICON's i20uX uses a sided box that is 9.5 inches shorter than the Cushman flatbed. The i20uX-F flatbed is 2.4 inches longer but 1.9 inches narrower than Cushman's. Bed shape, tie-down points, hydraulic operation, and the load's center of gravity can matter more than a single length measurement.
How much does the ICON i20uX cost?
ICON has not published an i20uX MSRP. Its product page directs buyers to an authorized dealer for a quote without listing a base price, destination charge, or price for the optional LSV package.
Cushman's $12,649 figure is a starting MSRP for the Hauler XL line, which includes gas and ELiTE lithium powertrains. It is not a delivered transaction price. Without an ICON MSRP, the public specifications cannot establish which vehicle costs less after configuration, freight, dealer fees, taxes, or accessories.
Does the ICON i20uX have enough range for fleet work?
ICON has not published an i20uX range figure. Its current product pages also omit charging time, maximum speed, usable battery energy, and performance at the published load limit. ICON describes all three carts as suitable for commercial properties, municipalities, airports, campuses, resorts, and industrial facilities.
The 51-volt 160-amp-hour battery description does not answer those questions by itself. Range depends on usable battery capacity, speed, grade, temperature, tire setup, cargo weight, towing, stops, and accessory loads. A fleet comparing bids would need a duty-cycle estimate based on its own routes and shift length.
Cushman's product page publishes a 16.5 mph speed for the standard Hauler XL but does not provide a comparable range figure in its main specification table. Paper payload and towing ratings alone do not establish how either vehicle performs through a full loaded shift.
Is the ICON i20uX street legal?
ICON lists an optional street-legal LSV upgrade with a 17-digit VIN for each model. That wording does not mean every i20uX arrives as an LSV or can use public roads without additional paperwork.
Cushman separates its standard Hauler XL from a street-legal Hauler XL LSV, currently listed at a $18,499 starting MSRP. The LSV version has a published 25 mph speed and standard safety equipment for its road-use configuration.
Buyers should confirm the exact VIN classification, title documents, maximum speed, certification label, installed safety equipment, insurance requirements, and local road rules for the vehicle being quoted. Our LSV vs. golf cart guide explains why a cart with lights and seat belts is not automatically a federally compliant low-speed vehicle.
What should a fleet quote confirm?
ICON's published numbers make the i20uX and i20uX-F plausible alternatives in the heavy commercial-cart category. A purchase comparison still needs information that is missing from the public product pages:
- delivered price with the required bed, brakes, charger, tires, and LSV equipment;
- payload and towing definitions for the exact configuration;
- expected range and recharge time under the fleet's loaded duty cycle;
- battery, vehicle, and corrosion warranty terms;
- service coverage, parts availability, and repair turnaround time;
- and the 330-pound versus 350-pound i20sX bed rating in writing.
The ICON model directory and Cushman model directory provide broader brand and model context. For work sites that may need higher speed, four-wheel drive, or rough-terrain capability, the golf cart vs. UTV guide covers the category differences that a specification table cannot resolve.
