I had an interesting chat with a senior member of Ineos Australia last night .
Amongst other things the UK Article regarding higher pricing and more up market/specialty versions came up.
It was stressed that this related primarily to the UK.....copy paste from the chat below. (I received the ok to share it with you)
This is a UK publication & predominantly refers to other market activities.
There definitely is scope for special models, new models & for those familiar with quality of the vehicle’s engineering & equipment, these can attract higher values.
The first offering from Arcane Works (which this article touches on) the Detour is not released for Aus. Due to its bespoke styling, additional features & limited run, it will be offered at a price commensurate with its substance & style.
It is very clear that Ineos Australia at least has a clear understanding that they are in the market of the "user" of 4WDS, not the "mall crawler" customer type.
Here they are also targeting the Emergency Services, Police, Military and Mining customers as well.
It is good to get this kind of direct feedback

- Closer to home, let’s talk AUS.
- The MY25 pricing of the IG range passes on the recently obtained TCO (Tariff Concession Order).
- This resulted in a -$5k reduction in the MY25 price.
- Most AUS deliveries are MY23, MY23.5 & less so MY24.
- MY24 buyers are the only ones that face adverse value adjustment due to the TCO, yet concessions were offered on those purchases.
- The upshot is, MY25 came down & any remaining MY24 stock has a GST off campaign until the end of Sept.
- INEOS Australia has consistently worked to optimise pricing & through both the LCT exemption & now TCO, passed on the benefit.
