The Munro Vehicles MK_1 is an electric off-roader from Scotland. Aimed at mining and agriculture, company plans to sell in the U.S. and Canada next year.

There will be three choices of LNMC packs, all powering a single electric motor. The Utility trim fits a 61.2-kWh, motor output is 295 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of peak torque, estimated range is 113 miles in adverse conditions on the WLTP cycle, 141 miles in ideal conditions. That motor can be paired with an 82.4-kWh pack in a Range trim that extends range to between 152 and 190 miles.

The pack is placed in the 5-mm-thick galvanized steel frame in three pieces, one large piece between the rails, two smaller packs outside the rails — yes, we have questions about that. The max charging rate for the small battery is 70 kW, upped to 94 kW for the large battery, able to replenish either pack from 15% to 80% in 36 minutes.

The e-motor sends its power to a two-speed transfer case that routes power to the live front and rear axles, because the company didn't want the complexity of a computer managing e-motor output on two axles. The truck will come with a center locking differential, locking diffs at both axles will be optional. The nearly 19 inches of ground clearance and brief overhangs result in a cliff-climbing 84-degree approach angle, 51-degree departure angle, 31.6-degree breakover angle, and 31.

. Owners who know they plan to do a lot of towing can option air springs that improve stability when pulling. The plan is to start with the five-door five-seat SUV on a 130-inch wheelbase, hand-assembling 50 units next year. In the UK, prices will start at £49,995 before VAT, a little over $61,350 U.S. Some of the initial batch will cross the water for testing in the U.S. and Canada. In 2024, Munro wants to move to a dedicated factory in Glasgow and build 250 units, with an eventual eye on 2,500 units of annual production across three body styles, the second one a pickup.
