E-Z-GO® introduces the Liberty LSV, and updates
the Freedom RXV, for those who need a vehicle equally suited for
the golf course or the neighborhood
AUGUSTA,
Ga., June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
E-Z-GO®, a Textron Specialized Vehicles business, is
launching the new street-legal Liberty LSV, as well as a newly
updated model of its Freedom RXV that couples a stylish new look
with a comfortable ride.
The Liberty LSV is the industry's ultimate luxury street-legal
vehicle. With a top speed of 25 mph, the Liberty LSV meets all
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards for an LSV
and can be operated on public roads with posted speed limits of 35
mph or less in most states -- and it's equally at home on the cart
path. Built on a compact wheelbase, the Liberty LSV combines the
convenience and comfort of four forward-facing seats with maximized
maneuverability for confident handling. Outfitted with a backup
camera, operator protective structure, a pedestrian warning system,
and seatbelts, and available with an optional state-of-the-art
infotainment system, the Liberty LSV adheres to both FMVSS 500 and
SAE J2358 standards, making it the perfect vehicle for traveling
wherever the day takes you.
The Freedom RXV, well known in the industry for its reliability
and performance, is receiving a fresh new design for the 2024 model
year. The 2024 model sports a stylish new front end with integrated
LED headlights, and a modernized, ergonomic dash that offers
drivers and passengers plenty of space for smartphones, cups,
balls, tees, golfing gadgets, and other personal items. The Freedom
RXV is available in two- and four-passenger models, with the latter
receiving a new modular canopy equipped with a water management
system to keep passengers dry in rainy weather.
"These new models answer our customers' call for vehicles that
are equally at home on the golf course and in the neighborhood,"
said Adam Harris, vice president,
E-Z-GO for Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc. "Whether you're
finishing up the back 9 or getting the kids to a swim meet, the
Liberty LSV and updated Freedom RXV make the trip more fun." E-Z-GO
vehicles are designed and manufactured by Textron Specialized
Vehicles Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company.
The Liberty LSV is exclusively powered by Samsung SDI lithium
batteries, proven over many years in
E-Z-GO's industry-leading ELiTE series of lithium-powered vehicles.
Compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, Samsung SDI technology
is more energy-efficient, better for the environment, and makes
owners' lives easier. The batteries enable the Liberty LSV to
provide consistent power and performance regardless of the
vehicle's level of charge, and also charge up to twice as fast as
traditional batteries. The batteries require no maintenance and are
backed by an 8-year battery warranty – the industry's longest – for
additional peace of mind.
The Freedom RXV is available in an ELiTE model with Samsung SDI
lithium battery technology, or with E-Z-GO's exclusive EX1 gas
powertrain. The EX1 is a first-of-its-kind engine, purpose-built
for golf-car applications to optimize fuel efficiency while
providing riders with a smooth, quiet and refined ride. To further
enhance efficiency, the smart engine management monitors the
electrical system and turns off accessories when not in use.
Like all E-Z-GO vehicles, the Liberty LSV and Freedom RXV are
manufactured in the brand's hometown of Augusta, Ga. where it has operated throughout
its 69-year history.
Whether you want to escape the day, take your family on an
adventure or are looking for a golf cart you can count on ride
after ride, inside an E-Z-GO, it's always good to go. These new
models will be available for order June
6 through your local dealer. For more information about
