Versions - Sisu XA-180
- Original six wheeler, carries crew of 2 and 16 troops
- Sisu XA-185
- Upgraded version, carries crew of 2 and 18 troops. Has bigger engine and improved power transmission.
- Sisu XA-200
- The 200 series looks little different from older variants, has more armour than the original series and lacks the amphibious capabilities but can wade through water that is up to 1.5 metres. The improved armour protects the passengers against up to 14.5 x 114 mm small arms fire. It is also equipped with modern optical aids like periscope and night vision. The armor upgrade was initiated after the realisation that the previous armor was inadequate, according to some reports even modern armor-piercing 7.62 x 54 mm R machinegun ammunition could pierce the older 180-185 models in certain spots. Originally XA-202 was developed for Communications and Command, later XA-203 was made as a temporary replacement for XA-185 before the AMV 8X8 replaces it.
