The Ineos Grenadier is an off-road vehicle developed by the British company Ineos Automotive. The conception and design started after Ineos founder, Sir James Ratcliffe, saw the end of the Land Rover Defenders and decided that a new generation of off-road vehicles was needed. Development of the Ineos Grenadier began in 2017, and the first prototype was publicly unveiled in 2020. The Ineos Grenadier is known for its rugged properties and its ability to withstand the toughest environments. The off-road vehicle is equipped with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder inline engine supplied by BMW and is available in both petrol and diesel variants. This powertrain provides more than enough power to tackle demanding off-road adventures.
