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

That shot of the two together is interesting. It sure looks like the rear passenger door is bigger, so access to the rear seats should be easier. Hmm, on further inspection it looks like that's the case for the front as well....

Departure angle "looks" better. I don't have the specs handy but the whole car "looks" bigger overall, but that could be a product of the curvature of the panels and the wheels.

Reckon that's the most interesting pic of the car that I've seen so far.

EDIT: I mean the one taken from the passenger side. The one from the driver's side almost reverses that size impression, but that's perspective.

The drivers side one I was cramped by poles in the shed so I used it to show the height difference.

The shot from the passenger side was further away from a normal height.

In thinking about it. If I had to summarise this. It's exactly what I wanted LR to build as a defender replacement. It's like the people who designed it really got it - and weren't corrupted by the business.

Yeah, I got that. From the "normal" height shot it seems to me that the height difference is mostly the roof, hard to be sure. I'm going to blow that shot up to fill my screen.

I'm looking forward to seeing one at the 4x4 show. Without having seen one it's hard to judge, but maybe it's not just a replacement for the Deefer, but the Disco as well.

As a now single bloke it doesn't suit me, but a single cab ute, if they build one, that's a whole other story.

The other thing the guy from ineos said.. if you want the diesel buy the diesel. The issues that we're seeing are other manufacturers that haven't got their stuff together.

There certainly doesn't seem to be much if anything on the web about it.

If he means what I think he means, that's a bold statement.

Ineos have included as standard a large water trap. He also claims BMW doesn't have DPF problems like other manufacturers. Certainly there is little evidence of the web of it.

Interesting as I was leaning to the petrol before that.

Looking at the photo taken with the woman driving, I understand why the speed is not registering infront of the driver as per the traditional Defender. The steering wheel is smaller and chunkier than that fitted to the old Defender and would obscure any info infront of it. The use of manually selecting gears is interesting.

Good point. What's the HUD like Steve?
