Kia? Niro?

[Mart]

Hiya Charlie. I think the Niro looks reasonable, and my next suggestion would have been to check out the MG range. Absolutely +1 for the Model S idea. Get a decent vehicle in the £30k+ range, and enormous carrying space. So can't add much to that ....

....... but ...... if you are willing to stretch the upper £40k to £50k (£60k inc VAT, but you mention possible business link?), and maybe get rid of the Yeti too ......

then how about a new Scottish BEV (scroll down to the pic of headlights, then tab across till you see the side and 3/4 front pics):

Munro - EV


Edit - Meant to say 19in ground clearance (min), so should cope with those ruts, but deliveries to start in 2024.

Intriguing. I was thinking to myself the other day that electric could work well for genuinely off-road farm trucks that never really go off the farm.
Horrible web page though. I can’t get any sense of the actual vehicle. In fact it looks to me that they’re not actually planning to build any - just get themselves bought at some point by a real manufacturer. Unfair?

Exactly my view - couldn't even find a way to actually see what the thing looked like. After a minute or so I gave up bothering. Website designers who believe that making the product they are promoting difficult to view really need to be re-educated as to what their job really is.

Agree their website is terrible.
The Munro is sort of like a retro original Landy Defender in style, but is sort of about the same size as a modern Discovery. Some pictures in this article here.
