Scotland's first volume produced car in 40 years promises unmatched 4x4 ability - without an engine...
. There may be dozen of electric SUVs out there, but you’ve never seen an electric off-roader quite like this one.
Three years later, the Mk_1 is that car. It’s powered by an axial flux electric motor - lighter, more compact and more efficient than a radial flux, says Munro - and will be offered with two outputs: 220kW or 280kW . The battery pack is made up of 35 Lithium NMC modules housed underneath the Mk1 and is guaranteed to deliver 80 per cent of its original energy capacity after eight years or 100,000 miles. Which is a lot of off-roading.
With the project aiming to deliver the most capable electric 4x4 available, a lot of big decisions had to be made in the Mk1’s development. Unlike a lot of EVs, for example, this Munro doesn’t use a ‘skateboard’ electric architecture with a motor for each axle. Instead, the single motor is centrally mounted that then powers a ‘robust, proven and easily maintained mechanical four-wheel-drive system’.
People will probably still be looking in 30, 40, 50 years’ time, too. When so many electric SUVs seek to emulate the one that preceded it, there’ll be no mistaking the Mk_1. ‘Form follows function’ is the design idiom, with Munro adamant that ‘if a vehicle does the job, then it will look the part’. Obviously it’s got to have really short overhangs for venturing off the beaten track, and those quad LED will keep the darkest paths illuminated. There’s no doubting its intent, either.
