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

the Ineos Grenadier appears to be coming in equal or in some cases cheaper than some Defender models listed.

I think they’ll be significantly more than we think here. We are the arse end of the world and pay more than most.

Yes we are but the Rump is the juiciest and tastiest part

SWMBO's Rubicon has a panel of pre wired and fused switches which terminate under the bonnet and under the passenger side dash in a set of pigtails. Just connect up your accessory and go, they are also clever enough to be programmed to remember their setting on restart or to default to either on or off. A very handy idea that saves people screwing up their wiring and makes accessory installation quick. None of them are 500A though, I think the biggest might be 40A

Introducing the Interior

I quite like some of their ideas... (Pre-wired spare switches)

Oh and in the video "if you want one, you can reserve one starting in October"... Not exactly a delivery date, but it must be getting closer one would think.

Doesn't appear to have a speedo - or is it in the niche ahead of the steering wheel?

I like the saddle leather.

Given that it turns out that some of the new Defenders will have an on-demand Haldex system like my 10 year old CR-V this thing is looking better and better.

There is a speedo located in front of the driver - it a slimline screen, hard to spot at first.

Also - from the video - the diff lock is on the roof I think. I remember the Ineos video saying “comfort controls like the heater are on the dash, driving controls are on the roof - we want to keep them completely separate”

I've been watching stuff on Ineos for some time now & have been really impressed with the concept. They have now (finally) revealed the interior.......makes me want one even more

Brilliant! And the interior. I want one…but…

BUT is there an EV or Hydrogen version on the way? If not it’s a deal breaker.

Already a thread running on the Grenadier under 'Non Land Rover Vehicles - European Manufactured.
They are working with Hyundai on an automotive fuel cell.
Ineos are involved with hydrogen production.....
