sorted byA gravel bike is a drop bar road bike essentially, used to be called CX but that has never really been a trendy label in the bike industry. A gravel bike has disc brakes and like a hybrid it has clearance for wider/knobblier tyres than a road bike. Traditionally a gravel bike would have a rigid fork like a road bike, but that's starting to change. And a single chainring setup is starting to become the standard (1x11 gearing etc) for gravel bikes.
MTBs traditionally had smaller wheels (not the case anymore though), always fatter tyres, always suspension (increasingly, long travel), no need for high top gears.
After some digging there is -
Drivetrain: 2 × 8
Groupset: Acera, Tourney
Suntour 63mm fork
Seems to be the same price everywhere and the rrp is not £600.

Those fat tyres will make it like cycling through treacle and the lack of mudguards will mean you get splattered in filthy black water when it rains. Commuting bikes don't need the weight or complication of suspension.
This bike would be good as a beginner's mountain bike.
But doesn't look like it has one in the picture
e-bikes have motors. (edited)
Though couldn't the Pendleton be upgraded / serviced to improve the drivetrain somewhat, it could be something simple like a new chain, or shorten the chain a little, or fit a chain guide or guard or something
