Monaco or Explorer
Overland-E now also shows the interior of the electric Gen2. That looks modern, but also functional and, like the rest of the cars, is available in two versions.
Overland-E is an interesting, unique newcomer to EV land. Instead of a somewhat dull crossover or a hypercar with so much power that it somehow becomes boring again, the British brand brings two true all-rounders on the market. Sporty and fast, sure, but also with the ability to conquer inhospitable terrains. That is allowed far from civilization, because according to Overland-E, the Gen2 will reach 750 miles, or more than 1,200 km, on a battery charge in the best case scenario. That figure belongs, as we know since August, to a version called Overland-E Gen2 Explorer 750. There is also a 450 version of the Explorer, which has the same mileage (724 km) range. The Explorer is the roughest version, with the largest battery pack. The Explorer is recognizable by its extra ground clearance, the ‘water tanks’ on both sides of the body and the winch in the nose, but especially by the spare wheels on the back. This has consequences for the interior, which can only accommodate two people because of the enormous extra tires. The interior, which by the way has a somewhat loose approach to the term ‘inside’ due to the lack of doors, can be cleaned with a high-pressure sprayer if desired.
This is of course also possible with the interior of the other version, but you may then cause permanent damage to it. The Overland-E Monaco is slightly more equipped for ‘normal’ use and therefore also more luxuriously decorated on the inside. The extra wheels are missing, so that an optional two-seater rear seat can be supplied. The dashboard looks the same again. We see screens, but also robust materials and large, clear buttons. Unlike the Explorer, the Monaco is only available in one version: a 450, with a range of 724 km.
The steering wheel is on the left on the cars shown, which is striking for a British product. It shows how much Overland-E focuses on the international market, just like the prices. They are denominated in US dollars. The Overland-E Gen2 Monaco 450 should cost about $140,000, roughly 145 grand in euros at the time of writing. Remarkably, the Explorer 450 is a lot less expensive, at $120,000. The version with 750 miles of driving range logically costs the most: in this Explorer trim, Overland-E asks $ 150,000, or more than 155,000 euros. There will also be a ‘Racing Spec’, which is apparently intended for competitive use. It is not yet known what the implementation will cost.
