The search for a replacement for the revered previous-generation Land Rover Defender workhorse continues; as the world waits for the launch of the Ineos Grenadier in January, another 4x4 utility contender has broken cover, the battery-electric, Scottish-built Munro, which will also be on sale in 2023.

Named after the collective noun for the 282 hills and mountains across Scotland above 3,000ft in height, the £50,000 (€58,000), all-terrain, five-door crew-cab pickup will carry up to one tonne and five adults across all terrains.
