The Vanderhall Brawley is an electric subcompact off-road vehicle produced by Vanderhall Motor Works.
In July 2021, Vanderhall decided to go beyond its current business profile, which focused on the production and sale of small, three-wheeled sports cars. [1] The Brawley took the form of a classic all-electric four-wheel all-terrain vehicle for a change.
The vehicle is equipped with an extensive suspension system that allows for competitive driving on off-road, which is facilitated by 18-inch alloy wheels equipped with 35-inch tires with a thick profile and deep tread. [2] It has a glazed roof and doors, from which the upper part of the body can be optionally removed. [3] The minimalistic styled passenger compartment is distinguished by a triple arrangement of analogue clocks as well as a series of switches in the center console. Following the example of other models of the company, the steering wheel gained a three-spoke form.
Production and sales of the Brawley was scheduled to begin in 2022, with reservations being collected just after the debut in July 2021.
