Looks pretty airbaggy to me.

It is, but the deployment of the bag goes backwards away from the handle mount, I think this is why the handles are designed the way they are
You can purchase the parts via Ineos, very expensive. You'll need to contact your dealer to organise this.
And there might be some issues with the side/curtain airbag…
No, the air bag deploys the same left or right, the fixings are there for the handle, remember it's a global platform so many of the parts/systems are the same.
Crazy expensive. I think @emax gathered the prices a while back. I’m thinking the aftermarket might come up with something because I really think I would benefit from one.
I saw it posted on an Australian page, close to $1k AU for the parts.
question is, on the side opposite the steering wheel, is there an airbag behind the panel with the grab handle?

getting in or out?
Airbag is just above the handle, deploys from the slot just below the "air bag" sign on the dash, so anything attached to the handle could potentially be a missile
In. I’m not tall and would prefer to not yank on the steering wheel.
Getting in and out isn't too bad, I agree a handle would be great, coming from a 200 series there are adjustments to be made in may ways, entering and exiting are just someI've just jumped out of my relatives Prado. So much easier getting in with the grab handle and similar to Krabby, I'd prefer not to manhandle my saddle steering wheel.
See picture of Prado.

Even the new Prado has it, so it's not a new regulation thing. Just lack of clear information from Ineos on why it can/cannot be done and justification of the costs involved.

P.s forgive me for posting non Grenadier pictures
Yep that's how it's done. I'm 5ft9 and 61 years ; no side steps.
