£45k Makes my £900 investment and 24 hr road trip from Scotland to Ireland a bit more acceptable/ digestible/ palatible.

I can't see a long queue of people for these, not at that price.
I think I would rather have a Tesla or pure electric car, hybrids have a limited life time, the same as petrol/diesel.

So even at £45,000 the Suzuki might make sense, if Suzuki dealers can keep the payments down by raising the MGFV.

In many ways the Duster is a spiritual brother to the Jimny, more so than the vehicle under discussion here.

I like the Duster. But I think it is more akin to estranged 2nd cousin or someone they met at a wedding 20 years ago. Rather than a spiritual brother to the Jimny.Doctorchris wrote: If I was looking for a SUV I would look no further than a 4x4 version of the Dacia Duster.

The Duster is a Unibody car based crossover. And is built on a Renault Clio platform with a Nissan X-Trail drivetrain. And road biased independent suspension. With no transfer box.
