that uses the same platform. Both versions can charge at up to 102.3kW – hardly cutting-edge, but decent enough for the size of the batteries. A heat pump is standard, so those ranges shouldn’t plummet in winter.
The Lone Range model will also be offered in N Line and N Line S trims, which will arrive in 2024 with 19in wheels and bespoke styling elements.
