The INEOS Grenadier is intended to be a tough vehicle that capable of life in true wilderness. With a ladder chassis, a wheel in each corner, a big powerful engine, and beam axles, the car is intended to be practical. Let's take a deeper look at what INEOS offers on its Grenadier.

INEOS Grenadier; Off-Road Capability

Flinging around a mountain pass is not a big deal with the Grenadier. The car delivers robustness and effortless rigidity off-road. The six-studs wheels of this vehicle are wrapped in Bridgestone Dueler H/T off-road tires to give it 10.3 inches of clearance. It offers a 35.5-degree approach, a 28.2-degree break-over angle, and a 36.1-degree departure.

he ground clearance in this car is claimed to be 264mm with a wading depth of 800mm. The engine can produce up to 281 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. The BMW's B58-series six-cylinder engine in the Grenadier has been remapped for low-down, progressive delivery of torque, which is simply what you need for off-road adventure.

With those capabilities, the INEOS Grenadier is built to conquer the wild. It is carefully engineered to go anywhere. The roof is able to support up to 330 pounds, all while carrying five people. The car has an amazing solidity with the ladder frame chassis, thick suspension, and other earth-moving equipment.

Comfort

The Grenadier, which was designed by Toby Ecuyer, has a boxy proportion, flat bonnet, upright windscreen, external door hinges, steel wheels, and round headlamps. The interior takes a rugged approach. It mixes durability and practicality with plenty of comforts and the latest technology. The focus of the Grenadier is to be easy to operate in whatever conditions.

The focus of the design is to boost ease of use. The layout is logical and each switch is labeled with writings rather than icons. The car feature a stack of toggle switches and a row of toggle switches on the handling for the front and rear electronic locks. There are some extra panels available in the INEOS Grenadier roof to control electronic extras like roof lights.

The 12.3-inch touchscreen display for the infotainment system can also be controlled through a rotary dial in the transmission tunnel. The system supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to boost its usability. An off-road pathfinder is also provided to highlight the car's main use and capability.

Cabin

According to Ecuyer, the car's cabin is inspired by heavy machinery and maritime setups which features big buttons and controls. The center stack is dominated by chunky physical buttons which are intended to be easy to operate. The interior is made uncomplicated and easy to manage.

The designer explains that the starting point was to collage utility vehicles. The cabin has a maximized space for storage which make your daily items like phones, wallets, and keys can be stowed. The Grenadier Station Wagon is a five-seater with batteries and storage boxes under the seats.

Overall, the interior of the INEOS Grenadier is designed to be rugged and easy to wipe clean. The rubberized car floor can be hosed down and has drain plugs to help you get rid of the filthy runoff. Securing tools and trying down luggage is easy because of the tie-down hooks on the boot.

Two Pre-Configurations Options

The Grenadier is offered in two pre-configuration called the 'Fieldmaster' and the 'Trialmaster'. The Fieldmaster is designed specifically for those who have an adventurous lifestyle. On the other hand, the Trialmaster is specified with extreme off-roading in mind. Both editions of the Grenadier will get the 'Smooth Pack' as standard.

The standard Smooth Pack includes puddle lamps, an auxiliary USB power outlet, a rear view camera, and power-heated door mirrors. An additional 'Rough Pack', which adds front and rear diff locks, a raised air intake, exterior utility belts, auxiliary battery, and BF Goodrich All-terrain T/A KO2 tires, will be available for the Trialmaster edition.

Cost

Both the Trailmaster and Fieldmaster editions of INEOS Grenadier are priced from £59,000. However, the two-seat utility wagon has a cheaper price, £49,900, while the five seats start from £52,000. Considering the capability, the prices offered by INEOS for their Grenadier are pretty reasonable.

The Grenadier is made for affluent lifestyle-focused buyers who expect more utility than sport. The car is simply tough and reliable for an off-road adventure. It is a serious offroader and utilitarian that will get the job done for you. It is also made to last with the high-quality components and components from automotive experts and will keep you going for years.
