The newest member of the electric Tuatara family — a 6-seat double-cabin, dual-motor people mover built to carry a full crew safely and comfortably across demanding country, with the low running costs only electric delivers.
The Dual Cab eTuatara uses an innovative dual-motor layout — one electric motor on each axle — which removes the need for a transmission or drive shafts altogether. The result is constant four-wheel traction, less driveline drag and noise, and superb off-road performance.
With a high-capacity 26.5kWh battery and a spacious six-seat double cabin, it delivers strong performance with low running costs and minimal maintenance. It's purpose-built for moving people — crews, guests and staff — where a ute or van simply can't go. Tuatara describes it as a model that's "truly breaking new ground."
A genuine double cabin to carry up to six people safely across rough terrain.
One motor per axle for constant traction and instant, quiet power.
Option up to a fully enclosed cabin with heating and air-conditioning.
A big 26.5kWh battery with better economy than single-motor models.
No transmission or driveshafts, no oil, no exhaust — far less to service.
Quiet, clean and comfortable — ideal for farm tours and guest transport.
