New "Suzuki" hybrid 4x4

I personally think Suzuki missed a golden opportunity with the new Jimny. They hit the mark with the current trend for retro styling, but then went and fitted what is an old design petrol engine. They didn't even attempt to make it a hybrid to dodge the pending emissions levy. It should have been 100% electric, then they could legitimately charge £30k+ for it and had a high demand eco vehicle.
But that's Suzuki, evolution not revolution.
Electric 2CV been around since the hippies, but modern propulsion packages are being developed as kits, got my eye on this one.
Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

Just imagine a "retro electric 2CV" with the same tray as an electric vehicle.

Not my sort of thing at all. Looks dull and boring and just another white goods tbh.
Did someone say £46k??? Surely a typo??
