After 25,000 kilometers, we rolled up to the Gulf of Aden. Yemen was just over the horizon, and the region was as close to all-out war as it had been in a generation. I had driven from Cape Town to Djibouti, crossing the continent of Africa and testing the limits of the Grenadier wagon in the process. When the tires…

The Grenadier has already proven popular in North America, with 7,000+ preorders and the US becoming the model’s largest market. . . before a single unit has been delivered. The US and Canada are ideal regions for the Grenadier, which provides a unique combination of capability, capacity (payload and towing), and comfort. Seeing a brand new body-on-frame solid axle vehicle…

In May 2023, we took delivery of a stock INEOS Grenadier Fieldmaster in the UK. We conducted off-road tests and break-in miles before putting it on the boat for Durban, South Africa. By late June, we had the Grenadier in Johannesburg and began lightly modifying the vehicle and provisioning for our trip up Africa. Contrary to many overland builds, we…

The Grenadier is starting to arrive in consumers’ hands in several markets worldwide, including Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Southern Africa (among others). Along with that comes rapid innovation of aftermarket accessories to complement this much-anticipated overland platform. Front Runner was one of the first to bring products to market, including their Slimline II full and three-quarter racks…

At Overland Journal, we have been fortunate to circumnavigate…

Grenadier, the automotive start-up aiming to produce an off-road vehicle in the spirit of the original Land Rover Defender, recently held its second Q&A session. Executive Vice President of Ineos Automotive Americas, Greg Clark, fielded questions from the public, covering issues such as timing, driving events, and vehicle specifics.

Editor’s Note: We received no compensation of any kind for this exclusive North/South America test of the Grenadier Prototype. As I drove down the dirt access road of the Uwharrie woods, the anticipation was building. We were about to be the first media outlet in the Americas to drive the new Grenadier prototype and report on it. The goal was…

It has been a long and impatient wait for many, but the Ineos Grenadier 4WD has made the giant leap into the final stages of production, and vehicles will soon be rolling off the factory floor. Those registered for Ineos email updates would have followed the story closely and witnessed the vehicle’s progression from a much-lauded concept to a rolling…

For those with a love of adventure travel, there are few new vehicles that elicit the sense of exploration like the Grenadier. Its space efficient shape, solid axles, metric ton payload (2,200 pounds), and triple locking differentials all serve to reinforce its built for purpose ethos. However, we have not seen the Grenadier out in the wild, overlanding and proving…

The Ineos Grenadier is the most exciting SUV in decades, providing a 100% fit for purpose design for overland travel.

“Comes with buttons, levers, and switches. Remember those?” Ugh, music to my ears. The era of overland vehicles synonymous with simplicity, minimal electrics, and wipe-clean interiors is over. Or is it? Dun, dun, dunn. The Ineos Grenadier might just be the most interesting and refreshing approach to vehicle manufacturing we’ve seen in a long time. Firstly, we all have to…

There are moments in time when greatness coincides with the market—with consumer and commercial demand. The Unimog came back to North America 10 years too soon, and so did the 1993 Defender 110. However, the team at Ineos appears to have timed the release of their Grenadier exactly on queue.   I think Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Chairman of INEOS, has…

INEOS Grenadier production has been paused due to a critical component shortage caused by financial difficulties faced by one of its suppliers. This part, though unspecified, is essential for completing both the Grenadier SUV and Quartermaster models, making it impossible for the company to continue production until the issue is resolved. The supplier’s situation is closely monitored, but the production…
