INEOS Automotive Press Forum

We certainly embrace change; however, we also believe that in some instances, the old-school way is the way to go. This also seems to be the vision of Sir Jim Radcliffe – the man behind the incredibly appealing and nostalgic Ineos Grenadier. This isn’t often mentioned, but the Ineos Grenadier is the spiritual successor to the old Defender. When the old Defender was axed, Sir Jim Radcliffe wanted to purchase the model but Land Rover refused to make one. Since he couldn’t get it, he made his own version of it. https://www.topspeed.com/2023-ineos-grenadier-vs-2023-land-rover-defender-110/

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6KytzUM5lU This gentlemen has long popped up in my YouTube feed. A friend and I do like to joke that he is "coked out" all the time because the quality of his content is generally terrible. I was shocked to see him get Grenadier access from Regal Automotive, I guess any publicity is good publicity. A few on this forum will likely have eye twitches as he discusses "FieldStream Grade" rather than Fieldmaster Trim and the "Aparture" angle. Always a clown show rushing to content. His new Landcruiser 250 video was also riddled with errors. Does this mean USA awareness of the Grenadier and INEOS brand is about to increase dramatically?

I am a little bit behind on reading my magazines, (people make me work). Another article in LRM, featuring a green, petrol Fieldmaster.

'massive' and 'ultra polluting' - baaaaf. Don't agree with either of those. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/article/2023/08/23/the-paradoxical-success-of-the-grenadier-the-ultra-polluting-4x4-made-in-france_6105389_19.html

INEOS Grenadier Pricing to Start at $73,100 The BMW-powered throwback SUV is priced to take on the vehicle that inspired it, the Land Rover Defender. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43916167/ineos-grenadier-suv-pricing/

'The automotive industry went through a significant change in late 2019 when Land Rover announced that it'd be building an all-new Defender. It wouldn't be a mechanically simple, body-on-frame near-tractor, but instead, follow the same tech-laden unibody recipe as its sibling in the fifth-generation Discovery and other newer Landies. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing (the new Defender rips off-road), but it was a massive change of pace for a nameplate that had become so beloved around the globe for the past several decades.' https://www.thedrive.com/car-reviews/2023-ineos-grenadier-prototype-review-specs-price-options-impressions

The Ineos Grenadier is an outstanding outlier among off-roaders Conceived six years ago in a London pub, the INEOS Grenadier 4WD wants to be the Land Rover Defender’s spiritual successor – and its competitor. But before winning over buyers, it must first conquer the wilderness. https://www.theceomagazine.com/lifestyle/automotive/ineos-grenadier-car/
