There will have to be electeickery to comply with the law re OBDII diagnostic compliance, and doubtless emissions will also mean theres a likely fair load. That said, they do seemed to have kept reliability and repairabibikty at the front of their minds.
On the plus side, no engineer, even a drunken Ferrari engineer with no physics O level, could make electrics less reliable than a JLR product.
Sorry about the Fail link, but when I googled for an update that was the first to appear. But, hey - doesn't it look fantastic. The big nobs at JLR must be sheeting themselves - they only sell 95k LR vehicles a year (likely a lot less this year because of the virus) and for someone to appear with what is likely a hugely hyped, superior product, with engines, drivetrain and design of very serious provenance, and proper 4x4 architecture, at a very competitive price must be a serious concern. Ineos reckon to produce 25,000 in the first year, all of which will be bought by people they'd like to sell a Defender to.
And you know, I've no sympathy. They've had it their own way too long and grossly mismanaged the company in recent years - remember them getting caught betting every penny on their own diesel engine, just as the bottom dropped out of the market? - and if that's the best they can do they deserve a good kicking.
And very, very interestingly, Jim Ratcliffe is betting that hydrogen will be the future for that size and type of vehicle, so it has been built with future fuel cell technology in mind. Handily, hydrogen is a by product of some of the industrial processes that Ineos already use, so rather than letting it go to waste simply being burned off he intends to commercialise that for vehicle use. Double win. Fair play to the guy if he pulls it off.
