Our 2024 Ineos Grenadier Finally Arrived And It's As Strange And Epic As I Thought!

The Ineos Grenadier is more than just a re-imagined Land Rover Defender, it's an SUV that puts off-roading and a boxy cabin ahead of just about every other priority. Acceleration? It's slow. Braking? Plan ahead. Fuel economy? It has "some MPGs." Steering? Think of that more like an opportunity for an upper body workout. What then is the appeal? You mean, aside from it looking like an epic off-road bread van? That would be the engineering behind it all.

The Grenadier sports a body on frame design, solid axles with coil springs, a 2-speed Tremec transfer case with a lockable true center differential, front and rear lockers (of course), an available front and rear winch, and more buttons and switches on the dashboard than a 737.

The best thing about Alex is that he lacks any detectable amount of pretension in his reviews. I doubt he has any at all, and that is a refreshing quality in this corner of the internet especially.

You know, despite being an anachronism in many ways (shape, handling, drivetrain, manual safari glass, gate, lack of automation) this thing has what so many other vehicles don't: personality. The designers clearly knew exactly what they were trying to build, and they made intentional sacrifices to do it. Even if this vehicle is not for me (I'm more of the Subaru variety of off-roading/winter-roading), I just love that it's not like everything else. I mean, look at all the buttons and switches. It's just its own thing, and in these homogenous 2020s, that's so great.

Tractor-like ride quality and those gigantic cluster and roof buttons would be exactly why I would love to get one of these 😂. Such a cool vehicle!

Congrats on the new Grenadier ❤ I would definitely want to see you meet up with TFL at their ranch to see that baby off-road. That would be awesome !!!

I just noticed the color while you’re driving. That’s a beautiful green! Very nice spec, Alex.

I know this is just ridiculous but that coloured steering wheel just tops it off like the cherry on a cake. Gorgeous. I like this thing.

The power outlets and accessories on the exterior is a very nice touch.

Thanks. Excellent review as usual. You speak as if you are reading off a teleprompter and attention to detail is admirable. Love your work Alex!

[VegaVenturing]

Congrats, Alex! I think you're gonna love it. We LOVE ours! Can't wait to get ours out into the forests more often once my day job settles down. Looking forward to seeing more content from you on the Grenadier. There are very few quality content creators making Grenadier content right now. Keep up the great work!

[billsims]

You offered some details that so many others have not. Well done!

[Tinrs]

That toot button ♥️😂♥️😂
i had to rewind and look at that several times ..made me laugh💯😂

[vernonbennettiii]

As usual, an AMAZING amount of information! Thank you! Looking forward to your meet up with TFL!

[joetacchino]

Can’t believe you can already get these here.

[jrodriguez]

You seem very knowledgeable. I would like if you could continue to compare and contrast to other vehicles like the G wagon or Toyota LC. Thanks

Very cool. Looks like an overlander's dream.

What a beautiful vehicle! I love the color. I've wanted one of these since I first saw the concept several years ago. It's got everything that's lacking in 99% of modern vehicles; character, personality, authenticity. No cookie cutter/design-by-committee here. Looking forward to future videos.

The Grenadier is fantastic!! It's everything the new Land Rover Defender SHOULD have been. I think my only disappointment with it is the glaring lack of a manual transmission, at any trim level. I really kind of despise the cheap, plastic BMW auto shifter sticking out of the center console. It's even more out of place when you notice there's a manual e-brake and manual transfer case shift lever on either side of it. Aside from that, the Grenadier is fantastic!! The aircraft-style switches are awesome!!

[horuslupercal]

Mine is do in Q4 this year mine is the same color and everything as yours! super excited

Alex’s transformation into a Cotswolds sheep farmer was so gradual that I didn’t notice—until he got himself a modern-day Defender. Congratulations on the purchase. All that’s left is to pull up sticks and move the entire Auto Buyers Guide crew to southwestern England!

Thanks for sharing your unique vehicle.
