Navigating the bustling streets of New York City may not seem like the ideal showcase for an off-road vehicle like the… Ineos Grenadier, especially with its rugged, utilitarian design. While it excels in adventurous terrains and challenging landscapes, the crowded urban environment can be restrictive for a vehicle of its stature. Nevertheless, should you venture beyond the city limits to explore upstate's lush parks or the scenic trails of the nearby Adirondacks, the Grenadier truly shines. Its high off-road capability equips it to tackle rugged paths, rocky terrains, and whatever nature throws its way.
Inside, the Grenadier offers a roomy and functional interior, ensuring comfort for both passengers and gear, making it suitable for weekend getaways or outdoor explorations. With its focus on customization, you can tailor the vehicle to suit your individual needs or personal style, which can enhance the ownership experience. For those who crave adventure beyond city life and enjoy the prospect of weekend escapades into the wild, this vehicle has much to offer. Just be prepared for its robust presence in tight urban settings, as it may require some acclimatization to maneuver through the city’s confines.

I am incredibly impressed that a new car manufacturer can build a vehicle this solid. It helps that they are using an award-winning BMW engine and transmission but the fit and finish is excellent. These were released in December of 2022 in Europe so the 2024's are not the first year for Ineos. I purchased mine used with only 7,800 miles for a deep discount.
Make no mistake - … this is an offroad vehicle first that also has decent road manners. I am a car enthusiast who has owned over 50 vehicles. In the offroad category, I have owned Landcruisers, Jeeps, Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover and Defenders. I would expect a healthy inventory of used Ineos Grenadier's on the market shortly because buyers are going to fall in love with the looks and not realize what they are buying.
The good - the looks are exceptional and yes, it looks like a classic Defender, which is the attraction. You get the classic looks without all of the headaches. The powertrain is fantastic. It won't win any races but it's so much better than a Jeep or classic Defender. Plenty of power and it never feels slow. The fit and finish is excellent. Everything is over the top solid. Close a door, press a button, flip a switch (my favorite) and it screams "solid". The seats are very comfortable - mine has the factory Recaro seats. For having the aerodynamics of a refrigerator, the cabin is surprisingly quiet, and the ride is acceptable even for non-offroad buyers.
Things that everyone will hate: The Ineos has some quirks that are irritating. 1) There are some key settings that reset back to default every time you start the vehicle. The worst is the speed warning that emits four clicks every time you exceed the speed limit by 1 mph. You have to switch this off every time you start the vehicle. There is a shortcut button you can use to get to this menu option quicker, but it's still time consuming and everyone will want to turn this off. There is so much chatter on this from owners that I'm holding out for Ineos to give us a firmware update. 2) The steering is about as good as a stock Jeep which means it's horrible. You can buy steering stabilizers like everyone does with a Jeep to make this better. I'm just surprised that Ineos did everything else so well and they didn't solve this. 3) The gas mileage is horrible - expect 13mpg in town. No one buys a vehicle like this for gas mileage but then it's paired to a fairly small gas tank. That means you're only going to get about 250 miles of range out of a tank. The gas mileage doesn't bother me, but the small tank does. 4) The turning radius is the worst I have ever experienced. You can get used to it but pulling into parking spaces is an interesting challenge at first.
Things that people who are buying this as a mall crawler will hate: 1) The tech is kept simple for a reason, but many people will miss things that have become standard. You have to press the button on the key fob to lock and unlock the vehicle. There is no start button - you have to use the key and turn it. (when was the last time you did that!). 2) The stereo isn't great - even the premium one. 3) It's really tall - I have the Leitner 3/4 roof rack on mine which only adds 2-3" and I need 7 feet of clearance. Most parking garages are a no-go. 4) Not that anyone would ever admit to doing this, but this vehicle cannot handle distracted driving. If you take your eyes off the road to fiddle with your phone, you will be in another lane, or a wall, or another vehicle. You have to concentrate to drive this vehicle. Distracted driving is a never recommended but if you just can't resist, don't buy this vehicle. For the sake of everyone else on the road, please be honest with yourself.
Don't buy this vehicle new. I would recommend that for all vehicles, but it works especially well on this one. The new car warranty is an impressive 5 years, 60,000 miles. Mine depreciated $21,000 in 8,000 miles and less than a year. Trust me - buy it used. For the reasons above, there are going to be a lot of low mileage examples of these available.
Make sure you get the right options. I would highly recommend these options with 1-3 an absolute must if just for resale value:
1. Safari Windows - Must Have
2. Front and Rear Differential Locks - Must Have
3. High Load Aux Switch Panel - Must Have
4. Heated Seats - some of the best I've ever experienced - crazy hot - Must Have
5. Checkered Plates
6. Access Ladder
7. Spare Wheel Storage - there isn't a lot of storage and this helps
8. Exterior Utility Belt - this is a great idea when you're camping to attach things to your vehicle
9. 3/4 Leitner Roof Rack - Don't get a full roof rack - the wind noise is terrible and don't get the gorilla rack (OEM) - also really bad wind noise and it sits up higher.
I'm not a fan of any snorkel. I think it diminishes the look, creates wind noise and for those of you who don't know, it doesn't allow you to drive into deep water. A snorkel is used to raise the intake while you are on a dirt road to help keep dust out of the intake. It does not change your wading depth. For hardcore off-roaders it makes sense, for everyone else, I would skip it.
This is one of my favorite vehicles I have ever owned. I've always wanted a classic defender but avoided them due to the headaches that come with them. The Ineos solves all of that with a modern twist on the classic with a reasonable price (especially used!). Sir Jim Ratcliffe - my compliments. Thank you for having that beer at the Grenadier and executing your vision. Next time I'm in London, the Grenadier Pub is on my list.
