The first Grenadier model from Ineos Automotive, an offshoot of the British chemical giant Ineos, has already caused a lot of talk. You want for the look that, regardless of the decision of the Court of London which excluded any link with that of the mother of all Land Rovers, recalls that of the old Defender, or because it is proposed as a pure off-road vehicle and also suitable for heavy tasks, but in a 21st century key. That is, with a defined kit to satisfy road comfort and safety.
Ineos Grenadier, the radiography
The Grenadier will be physically available from the summer of 2022, so many data are not yet known but others are already known. Here’s what they are. The development, in which the off-road specialist Magna Steyr also collaborated, started with a newly designed side member frame produced by the Portuguese company Gestamp to which the latest generation rigid axles, designed and produced by the Italian Carraro, are anchored. In addition, the Brembo braking system and the steering system components made by Frap are also made in Italy. The engines, on the other hand, are German. These are the 3-liter supercharged BMW 6-cylinder petrol and diesel engines with outputs of 285 and 249 horsepower respectively, both associated with the eight-speed Zf automatic transmission with reduction gear. The permanent all-wheel drive system features a mechanical center differential and electronically controlled front and rear. To conclude this first X-ray view of the off-road vehicle conceived by Ineos it must be said that it will be produced in Hambach, France, in the factory purchased by the Daimler group where the Smart Eq Power ForTwo are produced and will continue to be produced.

Ineos Grenadier, sturdy build and boxy look
The first member of the Grenadier family, which will parade in public in mid-October in Versilia at the International Off-roader Fair, is the five-door version with passenger compartment for five people which is 4.93 meters long, 1.93 meters wide, 2 meters high and has a wheelbase of 2.92 meters. These dimensions, like the line defined by squared sections to facilitate travel in narrow sections, should not change even in the case of the version with passenger compartment for seven people and the double cab pick-up. The style of the furniture combines suggestions of the past with modern solutions. Many physical switches are embedded in the linear dashboard, as well as on the aeronautical-style console hanging from the pavilion, but also digital instrumentation and the 12.3 “central display of the infotainment system, which integrates a navigator with a specific function for the ‘off-road and that communicates with Apple Car Play and Android Auto. In accordance with the off-road nature, all standard upholstery is washable, but there is also the option of leather for the seats.
