Ineos Grenadier

Model reviewed: Range overview
Score: 5.6 / 10
“As a purely utilitarian vehicle, the Ineos Grenadier ticks all the boxes but if the majority of your time is spent on-road, there’s plenty of rivals that will offer a better experience for the same money or less.”

“The Ineos Grenadier is a tough 4×4 with real off-road pedigree but it’s far from cheap.” (Steve Walker)

“The on-road manners and lack of creature comforts bring compromises that the Ineos Grenadier’s coolness may not be enough to overcome.”

“The Ineos Grenadier channels the spirit of the original Land Rover Defender in a charming and capable, yet very inefficient package.”

“Its not-so-subtle nods to the original Defender will be sure to draw some fans in, although its no-compromise approach might not make it the go-to if you’re looking to show off in Mayfair.” (James Drujon)

“The Ineos Grenadier makes off-roading feel effortless. With hill-descent control, optional locking front and rear diffs and rugged BF Goodrich tyres, it ploughed along muddy ruts, clambered over tree stumps and clawed through deep ditches. Granted, the upmarket new Defender could do this, but would you really want to? The Grenadier may be more reliable than a Land Rover, too, backed up by its five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty. Still, let’s not get carried away. This is a niche vehicle with a particular set of priorities.”

“The Ineos Grenadier offers serious utility and toughness built-in, but it’s not without a few issues. It’s expensive, and if you want home comforts, you’ll need to climb up the range, where the prices become ever loftier. And regardless of what you spend, the Grenadier is deeply compromised on the tarmac, arguably more so in some regards than even a classic Defender. At that point, the idea of a new Land Rover Defender – modern styling or not – becomes rather appealing.”

“It’s sad. I really wanted the Ineos Grenadier to be brilliant. I even sort of wanted one. It’s sad. I really wanted it to be brilliant. I even sort of wanted one. But I have a feeling that building a new car from scratch has been a lot more complicated than Ineos imagined. Plus, when I see those cramped-up pedals and note that the back seats won’t fold flat because of the battery’s location, I sense that this is a car that could have done with a bit more time on the drawing board.”

“What the Ineos Grenadier does well it does really well, but you simply can’t sell a new car from a new company with this many niggles and design howlers to a discerning public, farmers, utility companies, experienced adventurers and off-roaders; they won’t come back and they’ll tell all their friends why.” (Andrew English)

“For all it owes to the Defender and G-Wagen, the Ineos Grenadier has lots of character of its own.” (Jason Barlow)
