    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!
    Not much good having torque from 0 rpm if your battery's flatter than yesterday's beer, and you're 1000 klms from the nearest charging station!

    The new G wagon reminds me of a Lada Niva. Does anyone remember them?

    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.

    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.

    A very capable fourby but extremely misunderstood by both mechanics and the four wheel drive magazines of the day. In fact there was a heavy bias against them.
