A straddled vehicle in which the increase in size of the vehicle is restrained even when a turbocharger is provided, and the exhaust gas purification performance is further improved is provided. A downstream end of a catalyst portion (62) is provided below a turbine wheel (81). When viewed in the left-right direction, at least a part of the catalyst portion (62) is provided straight above a linear line (Lw3) which passes a lowermost end of a front wheel unit (2) and a lowermost end of an engine main body (20). At least a part of a scroll exhaust passage member (65s) which wholly surrounds an outer circumference of the turbine wheel (81) is provided below a horizontal plane (Sw1) which passes an upper end of the front wheel unit (2).
