Built from the ground up on an all-new platform, the INEOS Grenadier has been designed on purpose: namely to meet the demands of its future owners for a rugged, capable and comfortable go-anywhere working vehicle.

The Grenadier is a body-on-frame SUV with coil-sprung live axles front and rear. Two engines will initially be available, both BMW-sourced 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-sixes, one that burns diesel and one that burns gas. The engines drive all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case.

“The brief was simple. We set out to design a modern, functional and highly capable 4x4 vehicle with utility at its core”, said Toby Ecuyer, Head of Design. “A design that is ‘easy-to-read’, with no ambiguity about the Grenadier’s role in life. There to do everything you need, and nothing you don’t. Nothing is for show. Modern engineering and production techniques ensure the Grenadier is highly capable, but we have been able to stay true to the essence of creating a utilitarian vehicle that will stand the test of time”.

Dirk Heilmann, INEOS Automotive’s CEO, said: “We are delighted to be able to share the design of the Grenadier so early in the process. Most manufacturers would hold back, but we are a new business, building a new brand, and we want to take people with us on this exciting journey.

Ever considered a Normal Cab Long Bed model similar to Land Cruiser 79?

I would have a serious look at it if it was going to be built in the uk but the press say that they have put the factory in Bridgend on hold while they look at building it on land that Mercedes own.

Where will it be built?. Wales Or France

Reduced electronics, post Pandemic modesty, a stealthy luxurious interior all designed and scrutinized under the most merciless of Teutonic sliderule it is most definitely a Range Rover Killer.

All very well & good saying do we want to see more of it, yes of course but more of the engine in it would be nice as I've heard all sort's about this BMW unit and would like to know how they've come about aledgedly choosing that over all others.

Land Rover thrown away the real gem and brought some useless shit. Someone has picked it up and now going to sell it. Land Rover think like oh what have we done.

Amazing vehicle, would absolutely buy one but these people are playing a game where the first person to say "Land rover defender" is a rotten egg...

Grenadier: a fish in French. The Ineos Fish.

Nothing new on this car mix between a UAZ and a 3 times the price I

The land rover lawyers are scrambling. There must be some way we can sue them!!!
