Exploring The Ineos Grenadier 4×4

The INEOS Grenadier 4×4 is a new vehicle for off-road enthusiasts who want a rugged experience with a well-designed interior that offers comfort. In 2017, INEOS Chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe identified a gap in the market for a utility 4×4. The INEOS Grenadier is the result of his idea. The INEOS Grenadier combines hard-core off-road capability with a luxury interior that provides ultimate comfort.

An important fact about the INEOS Grenadier is that the drivetrain and the engine are BMW even though the vehicle is made in Hambach France and the brand is British. Since under the hood is BMW, EuroMotion is well-equipped to provide Ineos Grenadier servicing. As a service provider, we wanted to write this article to inform you of the features, how the Grenadier is unique, and service information.

Customizable

The Grenadier is often called a “blank canvas” because it is designed to be highly customizable, allowing owners to tailor the vehicle to their specific needs by adding accessories and modifications. The vehicle comes with a minimal base configuration that can be extensively customized to fit individual requirements.

In the end, you can build it out from a basic, robust platform to suit your lifestyle, whether it is off-roading, work use, or a combination of both. 

The INEOS Grenadier is designed for those who demand rugged capability without compromising on personal style, such as:

  • Enthusiasts looking for a dedicated off-road vehicle with a classic design aesthetic

  • People who need a vehicle for challenging terrain and heavy-duty use, like overlanding or farming

  • Drivers who prioritize functionality and durability over a smooth on-road ride

What are the Key Differences Between the Grenadier and Other Utility SUVs?

Here are some of the key differences between the INEOS Grenadier and other utility SUVs:

  • Old-school design: Unlike most modern SUVs with sleek lines, the Grenadier has a very boxy, utilitarian design that hearkens back to older off-road vehicles.

  • Solid axles: Most SUVs use independent suspension for better on-road handling, but the Grenadier utilizes solid axles front and rear, which are better for off-road articulation.

  • Recirculating ball steering: This older style of steering is used due to the solid axles and provides a heavier feel, which is ideal for off-road situations.

  • Minimal tech features: While other SUVs boast advanced driver assistance systems, the Grenadier focuses on basic functionality with less emphasis on tech.

  • Interior design: The cabin is designed for practicality with ample space and rugged materials, prioritizing durability over luxury amenities. 

Interior Design

The interior is designed to deliver the space, practicality, and versatility owners need as it incorporates the modern technology and comfort expected of a vehicle for the 2020s and beyond. This is truly between utility and luxury comfort.

 

Seats

The Recaro seats are extremely comfortable with exceptional support. They feature 8-way manual adjustment and increased lateral support to keep you comfortable and secure. The low-profile cushion bolsters make it easy to get in and out of the seats. You can choose from a variety of hard-wearing trims, including supple full-grain leather with optional heated front seats.

Steering Wheel

The Grenadier’s multifunction steering wheel offers both comfort and control. You can use your infotainment system, phone, and cruise control without taking your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road. A unique feature is the “toot” button located next to the powerful horn, made to politely alert cyclists or walkers or to greet fellow Grenadier drivers.

Both a Front and Overhead Operational Panel

The Grenadier includes operational panels both in the front and overhead for different functions. The overhead console controls operate the off-road settings. All buttons are easily operated with a gloved hand.

Front Console:

The front console has a 12.3-inch touchscreen, manual controls, and a lockable center console with buttons, switches, and dials for controlling the vehicle’s systems. Other features include:

  • Touchscreen: The touchscreen can be controlled with manual controls on the console. The main screen can be reconfigured to show off-road driving data and control entertainment functions. 

  • Manual controls: The console has manual controls for the touchscreen, as well as buttons, switches, and dials for controlling the vehicle’s systems. 

  • Lockable center console: The center console can be locked and used as an armrest. 

  • Cupholders: The console has a couple of cupholders. 

  • Transmission shifter: The center console has the BMW ZF transmission shifter. 

  • Shift lever: The center console has a shift lever for locking in 4-wheel high or low. 

  • Knobs: The center console has a knob for scrolling through the touchscreen.
