As a reminder, the Ineos Grenadier is modern 4×4, designed to take on the roughest and harshest terrain. The company Ineos has a chemical manufacturing background, with big boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe being a fan of the classic Land Rover Defender. The story behind the Grenadier’s gestation is a fascinating one.

The new Grenadier will be available to order from the 18th May 2022and there will be one model. More body styles will be launched at a later date, but for now, the Grenadier station wagon is the starting point. It’s a 5-seater which Ineos says offers a balance between payload and passenger carrying.

There’s an emphasis on vehicle customisation, with customers able to spec and configure to their heart’s delight, but Ineos is also offering two pre-configured editions called Trialmaster and Fieldmaster. These models feature additional accessories for customers who like to venture outdoors. The Trialmaster gets extras likefront and rear diff locks,BFGoodrich All-Terrain tyres,a raised air intake, exterior utilitybelts, and an auxiliary battery.The Fieldmaster has things like a rear-view camera, puddlelamps, power heated door mirrors,auxiliary USB power outlets, 17-inch alloy wheels (with the option to upgrade to 18-inchalloy wheels), Safari Windows, leather upholstery, carpet floor mats and heated front seats.

Engine power comes from BMW and customers will have a choice of either a petrol 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder or a diesel 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder. For the petrolheads, these are the B58 and B57 motors. Both models will feature 8-speed automatic gearboxes from ZF.

Outputs of 210 kW and 450 kW are claimed for the petrol model, while the diesel is said to deliver 183 kW and 550 Nm. 90 litre fuel tanks ensure commendable range.

As far as capabilities go, the Ineos Grenadier looks to rank among the best in class, with some impressive figures. The vehicle comes with permanent four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case and centre locking differential as standard.
