Today on TheStraightPipes, we dive into the world of the 2024 Ineos Grenadier, a rugged off-road beast with a BMW engine under the hood. This vehicle, born out of the passion of a billionaire chemical company owner, brings back the spirit of the Land Rover Defender, despite facing initial patent denial from JLR. The Grenadier's unique steering feel, reminiscent of a remote control airplane, adds a quirky touch to its driving experience, making it stand out in a sea of modern SUVs.
Stepping inside the Grenadier, you're greeted with a customizable interior featuring different trims like the Field Master, exuding a sense of luxury and functionality. Built in France by Magna Steyr, known for their work on iconic vehicles like the G-Wagon and Supra, the Grenadier combines German engineering with British heritage, creating a truly unique driving sensation. Despite its floaty steering and manual reset requirement, the Grenadier's BMW engine delivers reliable performance, making it a promising contender in the off-road vehicle market.
On the exterior, the Grenadier boasts a steel front bumper, winch, and skid plate, showcasing its readiness for rugged terrains. While lacking front and rear lockers, the vehicle offers off-road and waiting modes, enhancing its capabilities in challenging environments. Inside, the rotary dial, wireless Apple CarPlay, and off-road gauges provide a blend of modern technology and classic design, catering to both tech-savvy drivers and off-road enthusiasts. The Grenadier, with its unique blend of old-school charm and modern features, proves to be a refreshing addition to the off-road vehicle segment, offering a driving experience like no other.
