An engine unit that enhances air intake efficiency of an engine air intake passage for sending air into a transmission case housing a continuously variable transmission. The engine air intake passage supplies air to an engine arranged in a lower portion of a vehicle body. An air cleaner cleans outside air to be sent to the engine air intake passage. A transmission air intake passage sends air into the transmission case. The transmission case is adjacent to the engine in a vehicle width direction. The engine air intake passage extends upward from a front portion of the engine. The transmission air intake passage extends upward from the front portion of the transmission case in the vehicle width direction of the air cleaner and the engine air intake passage.
