The Munro 4x4, now badged the Series-M, is the upgraded electric off-roader from Munro Vehicles, the only volume production car company in Scotland. This UK-built electric 4x4 pairs a durable Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery pack that accepts up to 130 kilowatts of DC fast charging (a 30-minute full charge) with an estimated 200-mile on-road range, plus a tougher, more comfortable, and safer package than the pre-production MK_1 it replaces.
What is the Munro Series-M electric 4x4?
Munro Vehicles recently unveiled the upgraded version of its pre-production MK_1 all-electric off-roader. Renamed to the Series-M, the new model features important design changes, a new battery pack, and enhanced comfort-focused in-vehicle amenities. This updated UK-built vehicle includes a durable Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery pack, which can accept up to 130 kilowatts of DC power, enabling a faster, 30-minute full charge. Although Munro has stayed tight-lipped about the exact battery capacity of the Series-M, its driving range on asphalt is estimated to be 200 miles, making the Munro electric 4x4 a serious working tool rather than a novelty.
A rugged new design built for work
The Series-M also boasts a significantly improved and modern design compared to the MK_1. It showcases a distinctive face with dual headlight assemblies on both sides, bringing considerable differentiation from its predecessor. The height of the nose has been reduced too, thereby improving forward visibility. An added feature to the utility spec truck is the "exoskeleton," which can be used to mount various types of equipment, catering well to targeted sectors like construction, agriculture, rescue, defense, and outdoor maintenance.
How comfortable and safe is the Munro 4x4?
Apart from its stunning exterior, the Series-M is also revamped internally. After deriving feedback from early customers, Munro has incorporated an adjustable steering column with steering wheel controls and upgraded the seat rake and height adjustment. Furthermore, the Series-M is now equipped with more sound-damping features, airbags, brakes with ABS, stability control, and traction control, which the MK_1 lacked. These updates ensure a comfortable and safe driving experience while reflecting Munro's commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in the EV market.
