Rear Leg Room N1 Spec Production Model

Ever Pragmatic · Feb 17, 2023

This is the rear leg room for the 5 seat station wagon N1.. I’m 6’4 and the drivers seat is fully back. My knees were ok and there is a slot in the seat back that does give a bit of extra room. Good for short journeys but I’d not want to spend hours in the back.
The other photo is my son who is about 5’5.
I will be moving the seat back swiftly after delivery.

N1 is the commercial version, correct? That means a more upright backrest and less leg room if I recall.

Looks more than good enough.

As a side note, I would wager the ratio of Grenadier drivers : Schoffel wearers will be high. Let's just hope no red trousers!

You’re correct. To be honest, I think it’s just a wheeze for Ineos to get it to qualify as a commercial vehicle. It won’t be a problem to relocate the rear seats in to the same position as the Belstaff ones.

The whole thing looks like it’s set up for mere mortals like me/us to fettle it..

The mounts just need moving all the correct holes are there, somewhere on this forum are photos showing them all.

Busted…. My wife pointed out that Schoffel wearers may be a key demographic of possible owners / buyers. No red trousers as I’m not a land agent….!

This suggests I may not need to move my N1 rear bench seat backwards at all as the rest of the family are all 5' 5" under!

I had not. Having now looked, I did not realise there was such a online community of red trouser hating people

Perhaps the first Grenadier owners meet we have, we should all make sure we are in uniform: scruffy old boots, red trousers, check shirt and schoffel.

+1 for guilty as charged. It’s the green one for me today, suitably worn on the collar as they do.

I've at least managed to avoid the schoffel wave (be that better or worse than the red trousers).

That's the official uniform you are given when your too old to be a member of young farmers

Obviously we would all have to exchange business cards at any such meeting, some of us will be on tight leash as regards permitted use after all.

Apologies if you've already answered this, I'm working through the posts but I'm 6'5 and was curious what your opinion was of the front seat leg/foot well room. I haven't been able to see one in person yet and I've read some mixed comments on it.

If it's your car why would you be in the back seat?
