Scotland's electric Munro off-roader is tentatively headed to America

Inside, there's not a lot going on — and that's intentional. Munro fitted its off-roader with individual front seats, a simple-looking flat dashboard, a three-spoke steering wheel, manual windows, and a tablet-like screen where you'd expect to find the instrument cluster.

Development work is ongoing, so the model's specifications haven't been finalized yet, but Munro quotes an output of 376 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from an electric motor that spins the four wheels via a two-speed transfer case. Maximum driving range checks in at 168 miles, which is hardly a stellar figure, or about 16 hours of what the company calls"off-highway use." Properly configured, the SUV canabout 7,700 pounds and it offers a 2,200-pound payload.

Munro has started taking deposits for its electric SUV. Pricing in the United Kingdom starts at £75,000, which represents about $87,900 at the current conversion rate. Pricing for the American market hasn't been announced yet, but the company has its sights set on our shores. It signed a deal with Wyre, a company that specializes in leasingthat Munro is targeting"Canadian forestry businesses, Floridian farms, Texan oil fields, and gold mines in Nevada.
