ACCESSORIES - INEOS Automotive offers a wide range of factory-fit options, and an extensive choice of accessories that were developed in-house alongside the Grenadier to appeal to different customers and markets.

HAMBACH - INEOS Automotive’s Hambach plant is a state-of-the-art 210,000 sqm facility that employs a highly experienced direct workforce of over 1,000. Since acquiring Hambach from Mercedes-Benz in January 2021, INEOS Automotive has invested over €50m in addition to the €470m invested at the site in 2019.

DEVELOPMENT - The Grenadier’s development programme saw 350 world-class engineers subject development and prototype vehicles to a rigorous, global testing schedule, covering 1.1 million miles / 1.8 million kilometres in 15 countries, in all climates and across all terrains.

All Grenadiers are designed to be confidence-inspiring when off-road. A wheel at each corner ensures short overhangs front and rear, a full box-sectioned ladder-frame chassis offers excellent rigidity, while the engine air intake located high above the front wheel arch provides confidence when wading through water up to 800mm deep.

The foundation of the Grenadier is a full box-section ladder frame chassis. Simple, strong and stable, it’s designed to withstand daily punishment in all conditions, mile after mile. Its steel section is up to 3.5mm thick for outstanding rigidity and stiffness. As the backbone of the vehicle that supports all other assemblies, the Grenadier’s robust chassis is engineered for easy maintenance and to ensure that removing or adding components including accessories like the Side Runners or Rock Sliders is as straightforward as possible. Both Station and Utility Wagons have a 2922mm wheelbase, while Quartermaster features a wheelbase extended by 305mm to 3227mm.

CHASSIS - Maximum protection against corrosion is provided by a full E-Coat treatment (cathodic dip coating, an electro-chemical coating process), internal cavity wax application and an exterior powder coat. Paying testament to the brand’s confidence in its durability, the ladder-frame is backed by INEOS Automotive’s class-leading 12-year anti-perforation warranty.

Heavy-duty solid beam axles are essential for tackling extreme off-road terrain and carrying heavy loads. By channelling power from the Grenadier’s propshafts via a 4:1 differential ratio to the wheels, they ensure maximum traction on any surface. Developed in partnership with Carraro – an expert with over 50 years’ experience making heavy-duty tractor axles for agricultural machinery giants including John Deere and CLAAS – they’re strong, straightforward, and built to last.

INEOS Automotive has designed the Grenadier to handle the most extreme environments, and inevitable impacts. The Grenadier’s standard underride protection includes front and rear skid plates, and protection for the 90-litre fuel tank. It’s key to keeping the vehicle going, ensuring the Grenadier’s essential components are shielded when working off-road. The high-quality powder coat finish also safeguards the Grenadier’s underride protection against stone chips and off-road scrapes. The underride protection is also e-coated before powder coating to deliver a second layer of protection.

DRIVETRAIN - The Grenadier has been set up with off-road capability in mind, but without compromising driving performance, so drivers can switch from tarmac to mud without having to make any special adjustments. It is only offered with permanent four-wheel-drive. Torque and power are sent from the gearbox to the front and rear axles via an INEOS designed two-speed transfer case built by industry transmission leader Tremec, alongside constant-velocity joints and propshafts from automotive specialist Dana Spicer.

The durable, manually-operated two-speed transfer case as standard has a built-in centre differential which is lockable in both high and low range. Designed by INEOS Automotive and manufactured by Tremec, it’s been tested in the harshest environments and its low-range ratio of 2.5:1 provides greater precision, control, and increased torque. Featuring an external oil cooling system, it’s been optimised to ensure smooth running and reliability in all conditions.

In addition to the centre locking differential in the transfer case, two optional electronically actuated diff locks are available, front and rear, with 100% mechanical engagement. The front and rear diff locks can be independently toggled from the overhead control panel and automatically disengage at higher speeds to protect the drivetrain. Manufactured by global engineering specialists Eaton Industries, the front and rear diff locks are standard on Trialmaster models, and optional on all other variants.

AWARD-WINNING BMW POWER - The Grenadier has been developed to be refined on the road and extraordinarily capable off-road. Reliable and gutsy engines and a robust transmission are central to achieving this multi-role capability.

Depending on market availability, Grenadier is powered by a choice of two BMW 3.0-litre turbo-charged inline six-cylinder engines. Both the B57 diesel and B58 petrol powertrains have a proven track record, and they have been deployed in a range of vehicles from sports cars to SUVs. With EU6d and EU4 compliance, both engines meet diesel and petrol emissions standards in all markets. Every Grenadier variant can be powered by either the petrol or the diesel engine, and the selection doesn’t affect the vehicle price (depending on markets).

These two power units from BMW have an aluminium block and head and bring sophistication and refinement to the Grenadier. Over the gruelling three-year 1.1-million mile (1.8-million kilometre) test programme they have been extensively revised and recalibrated by INEOS Automotive’s engineering team in collaboration with Austrian automotive specialists Magna-Steyr.

The goal was to deliver both peak torque at low revs for optimal off-road performance, and powerful acceleration through the rev range on tarmac. This was achieved by the comprehensive reprogramming of the engine software management systems. A larger radiator with upgraded fan enhances the engines’ air temperature performance, with optimised coolant flow within the pipes and radiator.

These carefully calibrated characteristics help the driver to confidently manage the vehicle’s momentum and grip without stressing the engine, ensuring full control and ideal throttle modulation when tackling challenging terrain.

Whichever is chosen, the Grenadier’s engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox from industry transmission leader, ZF. Both the ZF8HP51 transmission used in petrol variants and the ZF8HP76 gearbox used in diesel-powered models have posted impressive track records for reliability and durability since their market debut in 2008. For their deployment in the Grenadier, Magna-Steyr recalibrated and fine-tuned the gearboxes and added a heavy-duty torque converter specifically for off-road work. While it’s every inch a rugged 4X4, the Grenadier also ticks all the right boxes on the road. The chassis combines a five-link front and rear suspension layout, complemented by powerful Brembo brakes and an accurate recirculating ball steering system.

SUSPENSION - The Grenadier is equally at home on the road as it is off-road. Central to this versatility is its suspension design, featuring progressive coil springs, robust anti-roll bars, and a sophisticated five-link setup, with a pair of longitudinal links either side of the axle and a Panhard rod. Together, these combine to provide dynamic handling and a comfortable ride, whatever the load or road.

The Grenadier’s progressive rate coil springs are made by suspension specialists, Eibach, offering superior flex with nine degrees of front axle articulation and 12 degrees at the rear. Enabling more than 585 mm of travel to maintain grip and make light work of driving over extreme uneven ground, they’re low maintenance, lightweight, durable and generate minimal friction.

BRAKES - The Grenadier’s highly responsive brake system – discs, pads and calipers – has been designed and developed by industry-leaders Brembo. Engineered to deliver confidence-inspiring performance even with the Grenadier’s gross combined fully laden vehicle and maximum trailer weight of seven tonnes, the Brembo system features 316 mm diameter vented front discs gripped by twin piston calipers, and 305 mm diameter rear solid discs and single piston calipers.

The Grenadier rides on traditional, hard-wearing 17-inch steel wheels as standard, with 18-inch steel, 17-inch alloy and 18-inch alloy options available. All use a six-stud pattern with a 130 mm Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) and are available with both Bridgestone and BFGoodrich tyres.

The Bridgestone tyres are bespoke to the Grenadier – an indication of the confidence the tyre manufacturing giant has in the longevity of the vehicle. Owners can also choose locking wheel nuts to keep the wheels secure.

STEERING - The recirculating ball steering layout features hydraulic assistance. The Station and Utility Wagons have 3.85 turns between locks for a 13.5-metre kerb-to-kerb turning circle, while the Quartermaster with its longer wheelbase has a 14.5-metre kerb-to-kerb turning circle. The result of thousands of miles of development and fine tuning, the steering provides the Grenadier driver with the optimal balance of accuracy, feedback and damping.

They may be tough and uncompromising 4X4 vehicles, but Grenadiers are equipped with range of modern integrated Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) technologies as standard, all developed to deliver optimal performance in both on-road and off-road environments.  The following are included on all models to help to keep occupants safe, relaxed and in control:

 ^{*United States, Mexico, Canada & China only}

^{† SOS Emergency Call is included for EU, Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain}

^{** All markets except United States, Mexico, Canada & China}

^{†† ADAS features not currently available in Australia & New Zealand}

The Grenadier features a comprehensive suite of infotainment and navigational features that ensure owners stay connected and oriented no matter where they venture. The powerful audio system features four 24W coaxial speakers – two mounted in the front doors, two in the rear doors, with a frequency range of 50 – 18000Hz. Deep bass is enhanced by a subwoofer as part of the Premium Sound System, standard on Fieldmaster models.

DAB+ radio, wireless Android™ Auto and Apple CarPlay® are fitted as standard to handle navigation duties using Waze, Google Maps, or whatever compatible app the driver chooses. Bluetooth connectivity and voice control allow for hands-free calls.

The Grenadier’s Central Control System, designed specifically for INEOS Automotive, displays all required information via an easy-to-control 12.3-inch touchscreen, which can also be accessed using the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel or the rotary controller on the centre console.

This means everything the driver needs to know – including road speed, gear selection and fuel level, through to tyre pressures, maps, media, phonebook, current bearing, co-ordinates, steering angle and vehicle attitude – is intuitively located in one central location.

An optional compass with altimeter is included on Trialmaster and Fieldmaster Editions, conveniently integrated into the centre console.

Off the road, owners can use INEOS Automotive’s Pathfinder navigation system. Fitted as standard to all models, this bespoke, waypoint-based navigation system has been specifically developed for adventures in the Grenadier, and uses GPS signals and co-ordinates to accurately guide drivers.

The Pathfinder navigation system has three modes:

Follow Path – follow an existing .GPX file Drivers can download existing .GPX files (an industry-standard file format with geographic information such as waypoints, tracks, and routes) to the system and then follow these routes in the Grenadier. When the user clicks on the next waypoint, the compass will navigate the driver in the direction required, towards the next waypoint. Distances, bearings and coordinates are shown on the screen to accurately guide drivers along the correct route.

Record Path – record and create a new .GPX file Drivers can use this screen to record the path that they are driving, and create their own .GPX file, so that they can share it with friends or drive the route again. During the journey, the driver can add a waypoint manually, or set up the system to do it automatically at certain intervals.

Roadbook – manually record a route This third mode is mainly used for rallies or general off-road driving. The passenger can compare the Roadbook to a handheld map or route for the planned trip, manually setting the bearing and distance using the functions on the screen.

Power is always on tap with the Grenadier’s cabin featuring a USB-A and a USB-C port, and a 12V socket as standard. Two additional charging USB-C ports in the second row and a second 12V socket in the cargo area are optionally available, as is a powerful 400W power take-off, which turns the Grenadier into a mobile generator to power a range of tools and leisure accessories.

Adaptability is built into the Grenadier from the get-go. With wiring accessible through the engine bay and interior, the Grenadier is ready for ‘plug and play’, without the need to rip out the headlining or interior panels to install gadgets or accessories. This open-source pre-wiring offers all the equipment the driver needs at their fingertips.

As standard, the Grenadier is equipped with three 10A circuits, switchable from the overhead control panel. For heavy duty applications, including light bars and winches, owners can choose the high load auxiliary switch panel option, which provides four extra circuits (three 25A and one 500A), plus four integrated, weather-proof, roof-mounted outlets.

All versions of the Grenadier are uncompromising, highly capable 4X4 vehicles. Even the standard Utility Wagon models offer everything most users will need: peerless off-roading capability, refined on-road driveability, and a functional, modern, comfortable interior. But every customer is unique, so every Grenadier can be customised to suit the specific role they will play for their owner.

As well as the pre-packaged Rough and Smooth options packs, INEOS Automotive offers a wide range of factory-fit options, and an extensive choice of accessories that were developed in-house alongside the Grenadier to appeal to different customers and markets.

These are complemented by aftermarket accessories that are supplied by world-renowned partners that share the same uncompromising built-on-purpose approach as the Grenadier. A number of exterior accessories gives owners all they need to protect and equip their Grenadier for the task at hand, from LED lights to roof-mounted bike carriers. And when off-the-beaten-track is a daily drive, heavy-duty hardware like rock sliders and bull bars provide greater protection, while sand ladders, a comprehensive recovery kit and jerry can mounts on the roof rack give owners the confidence to tackle any terrain.

Up top, owners can opt for a roof rack or cross-bars to make carrying extra kit a breeze. As well as a bike carrier, further compatible add-ons include mounts for kayaks, surfboards and cargo boxes. 

Tailor-made interior accessories provide added flexibility, practicality and durability, and whatever needs transporting, a highly adaptable cargo management range has everything for carrying and organising luggage and equipment quickly, safely, and easily. 

Accessories in the Australian and New Zealand markets will be covered by a five-year warranty, and a three-year warranty for all other markets. The accessories are designed to be fitted easily by owners, or through INEOS’s worldwide aftersales network. Customers can browse the full accessories range in the online configurator and brochure.

^{* Five-year, unlimited mileage mechanical warranty for UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Middle Eat and Asia. Five-year, 60,000 mile / 100,000 km mechanical warranty for Africa, North America & Mexico}

PRODUCTION FACILITY - INEOS Automotive’s Hambach plant is a state-of-the-art 210,000 sqm facility. It employs a highly experienced direct workforce of 1,000 with an excellent track record for the quality of its output. Its proximity to the German automotive cluster around Stuttgart gives it excellent access to supply chains, automotive talent and sales markets.

Since acquiring Hambach from Mercedes-Benz in January 2021, INEOS Automotive has invested over €50m in addition to the €470m invested at the site in 2019. The Grenadier line includes a new semi-automated paintshop, a new fully-automated bodyshop, and a new quality centre.

Across 2021/22, INEOS Automotive produced over 65,500 smart cars and almost 128,000 EQA front-end modules under contract to Mercedes-Benz. INEOS Automotive has installed all-new IT and supply chain systems for production planning, logistics and parts quality monitoring, meaning the Grenadier operation is benefiting from the latest technology and is completely independent of the smart car assembly line.

Hundreds of Grenadier production prototypes were built at Hambach and deployed for final test rounds including crash testing for certification and to validate the assembly process and build quality. The Hambach workforce underwent 20,000 hours of training in preparation for the start of series production in mid-October 2022.

DEVELOPMENT - The Grenadier’s development programme saw 130 ‘2B’ second-generation engineering prototype vehicles undertake a rigorous, global testing schedule. INEOS Automotive selected the best suppliers from the automotive industry and subjected their components through an arduous testing regime of 1.1 million miles / 1.8 million kilometres across 15 different countries, in all climates and across all terrains. The Grenadier is developed to last and engineered to keep going, year after year, and is backed up with a class-leading five-year, unlimited mileage mechanical warranty for UK, European, Australian, New Zealand, Middle East and Asian markets, and a five-year, 60,000 mile / 100,000 km mechanical warranty for African, North American and Mexican markets.

Transitioning from concept to series development marked the moment the INEOS Grenadier team was joined by experts from the 4X4 specialists Magna Steyr and AVL, the world’s largest independent company for the development, simulation and testing of powertrain systems.

Both these automotive powerhouses are based in Graz, Austria and their development teams drew on decades of experience to put the Grenadier through a gruelling development programme.

The Grenadier’s testing programme took in some of the most extreme environments. For example, off-road development locations included one of the most formidable 4X4 testing grounds in the world – the notorious trails of the Schöckl mountain north of Graz.

Engineers also successfully completed extensive cold weather engine calibration with Grenadier prototypes in northern Sweden, vehicle dynamic development in Hungary, and hot weather testing in Morocco and the Middle East.  In total, around 350 engineers from INEOS Automotive, Magna Steyr and AVL were involved in the Grenadier’s development programme.
