Hmm. I don't mind the restyle. Pure EV will make more sense in the UK and Europe than it will here, IMO. Currently in the US EVs are hard to sell, so it may not go there either, but who knows? Good to see the Gren selling well there.
Hydrogen fuel cell? Heck, even OKA are working on that tech. No infrastructure though. Yet.

So, not PHEV then, well not really. Interesting approach. Run the gennie to charge it up for the next day. People in campsites are going to love that. Prolly not the use Ineos envision it being put to, but you know people.

Cummins are also doing a heap of R&D on Hydrogen powered engines.Quote:

... at the Melbourne caravan and camping show.
That intrusion into the left of the driver's footwell is unbelievable - this was a clean sheet design, right? So how did that massive fail happen? - and on its own means I'd never buy one of these.
Also surprisingly cramped in the driver's seat, much like an old Defender really, and far less rear seat legroom than my D4.
Between this and the new Defender I'd take the Defender.
Looks awfully like a Freelander 2 ....Quote:

The side-on view, if the Freelander had square corners added to it to make it look more like a G-wagen.Quote:
