A wheel suspension for a motor vehicle, including a wheel carrier (2) for holding a wheel (3), a wheel-guiding control arm (4) for articulating the wheel carrier (2) to a structure, and steering member (23) for steering the wheel (3). For steering the wheel (3), the wheel carrier (2) and the wheel-guiding control arm (4) are articulated to one another in such manner that the wheel carrier (2) can pivot relative to the wheel-guiding control arm (4) about a steering axis. The wheel carrier (2) is connected indirectly to the control arm (4) in a first connection zone (20) by an integral link (5).

An in-wheel motor drive unit (11) includes: a motor portion (11A) that is placed on one side in the direction of the axis of the in-wheel motor drive unit; a wheel hub portion (11C) that is placed on the other side in the direction of the axis of the in-wheel motor drive unit; a speed reduction portion (11B) that is placed between the motor portion and the wheel hub portion and that reduces the speed of output rotation of the motor portion to transmit the resultant output rotation to the wheel hub portion; and a first arm portion (34) that is formed integrally with a speed reduction portion casing (33) forming the outer shape of the speed reduction portion, that projects in a direction perpendicular to the axis from the speed reduction portion casing, and that has its tip end pivotally coupled to a vehicle body-side member.

A vehicle may include a CVT unit or a power source which requires ambient air. An air inlet for an air intake system coupled to the CVT unit or the power source which requires ambient air may be provided in a side of a cargo carrying portion of the vehicle. The vehicle may include a rear radius arm suspension.
