Why an electric powertrain is all wrong for off-road vehicles
Will it be electric?
From what I have read, after 2020 Land Rover will have an electric option in each model range if you so wish to buy it. They will still be selling petrol and diesel powered vehicles though, with the electric vehicles complementing these.
I so wanted to respond to the nong in the comments below the article!Quote:

The new G wagon reminds me of a Lada Niva. Does anyone remember them?
Yes my mother had one for years.Quote:

I very nearly bought a Lada Niva as my first car... Lol!
Nothing wrong with the Niva.
My son had one for a while - the two door layout caused it to be traded after the first kid arrived. As scarry commented, QC was not their strong point. But they were cheap for what they did.
tough as hell, great offroad, err umm horrific build quality, who could forget.
I sure do. I had one. With wife and two kids on board and trailer at the back we toured in it. At home it was my daily drive and Vic Alps explorer.Quote:
