Ineos Grenadier, do you reckon it'll take off?

She's an expensive bit of kit when kitted up with the useful accessories. Probably 135k on the road with LCT etc. Admittedly about on par with the new Defender and not as xxxy as a 300 series. But compared to a dual cab ute Ineos are clearly after a different market segment. Cheers

VX300 around $120k,Sahara $140,drive away,less fleet for some.
Although there are more expensive models with a lot more kit,but the VX is pretty loaded with kit.

But a 9 to 12 month wait.

If you deduct the resale value off the purchase price the VX isn't that expensive.

I thought they might be dearer by now. Right in that case Ineos might be restricting it's market but it will still get plenty of takers. Especially if they are still producing them in 3 to 4 years time when those that held back might lay out their hard earned. Cheers

Do you think that they meant to call it the TrialMaster or the TrailMaster…?

They will sell no worries I recon.

Amongst many challenges for smallish manufacturers,one of the biggest will be reliability,if they can get that sorted,that is be up with the best,then they will soldier on and do very well.

Whatever they call it it doesn't matter, It is still a much better option to replace an older Defender with than JLR's new Pretender offering [bigwhistle]

From what i have read the Inios has been built from the ground up with durability and capability as the main design criteria and IF I had the quids I would order one in a heartbeat [thumbsupbig]

I was away over the ANZAC long weekend and ran into a bloke wearing an Ineos Grenadier "world tour" t-shirt - it listed all of the places they'd had the car for testing, including Australia. A quick check of their website shows that it's not one of the t-shirts available on-line. So ... was this something they gave out to people who test drove a Grenadier or were these guys Ineos engineers?

FYI, they weren't driving a Grenadier ....

That said, the Trialmaster/Trailmaster has some impressive standard kit, including an auxiliary battery.
