Australasia Grenadier Delivery & Wait Times in Australia.

This is a very good point. Sandy Taupe for the Troopy's hit the mark. No option like that for Granadier.

What's the solution, custom colours?

Wrap it?

Exactly. You nailed it. As did Toyota, and Land Rover.

Show me a Grenadier colour that will wear Melville and Moon in the scrub as well as a Land Rover colour

Wrap it?

Seems to be the play. Especially if you want to do two tones like they had initially. Custom paint vs wraps?

Raptor coat it. You know you want to!
Ineos I think deliberately tried different colours/shades to what's out there in other brands.

How long until we see a Granadier in Sandy Taupe?

According to IA rep back in Feb, as part of the first "update" of the Grenadier (2025?), an additional 6/8 colours added to the options

Hi (from a long term lurker, first time poster),

I've got a Grenadier on order, contact signed and apparently (mostly) built, in batch and hold awaiting parts/QA, shipping & customs etc. so I'd guess still another 6 months off.
I was an early hand raiser and paid that fee a year a couple of years ago, then spec'd/ordered this time last year (with a further fee paid), signed the contract late last year but still no car.

At first I was promised JUL last year but the date kept creeping out, it became SEP, OCT, DEC and then nothing. Then MAR this this year, then APR and then nothing again.

I bought the vehicle via my business and did need it after my previous vehicle died and I got a pretty average settlement (warranty means nothing if you don't shave the cash to go to court!) I've depended on it arriving but the delays have ran me out of business and I've moved on.

I'd still like the Grenadier if it ever shows up but as I bought it though my business which is now wound down the sales contract is effectively null and void. I've tried contacting the delivering dealer to have details updated and a new contract issued for personal purchase but no luck and they don't seem to be able do do anything with Ineos.

Anyone else going though something similar? And if so how have have you gone about it?


Cheers,

Paul

I would speak to INEOS Australia - they do have some ability to help, and have made some changes directly along similar lines to you for my order.
Initially you could only make the reservation in a personal name, I am pretty sure there was no ability to make it in a business name, so the original agreement would of been with you personally and INEOS, not your business and INEOS. I would think that INEOS would have to honor that agreement.

Hi Davman,

I’ve done everything via my business right back to expression of interest, nothing has been personal. All my correspondence, reservation fee, deposit and final contract have all been via my soon to be defunct business.

Speaking to anyone has proven difficult though my local dealer is trying to help, they’re not having much more luck than I am though…

I would keep that business registered until it is cleared up
Once the business is closed there will be nobody to give the refund to and nobody approved to correspond

Hi Paul,
I changed from private to business before I got the contract last November. I would send an email to Ineos customer support. Tell them to actualize your address data as soon as possible and keep on asking if you do not get an answer within five working days. Then call them and make it clear that they have to escalate your needs to a higher level.
You have to be more a Terrier on this to make it work. Sad but true...

Hmm, my initial deposit then contract was in a personal name plus business details. There were fields for both. I didn't think you could have ONLY a business name. They still needed a first and last name of a human. The only real time anything gets locked into business or personal is at registration of the vehicle. The final invoice will be made out to whomever you choose. Many companies like mine might have their trading name on the deposit or contract documents but might request Ineos use a different legal entity name (such as a trust) on the final invoice.

Trust me, you will be able to change it. I did.

Unfortunately not an option, it’s been a merger of sorts with my new rule and what’s left of my business will be wrapped up for EOFY.

Perhaps it’s because I’ve never provided personal details, nothing but business…

Hope so but not looking good so far…

I just realised that the defender on the far right in my pic from yesterday looks to be the new 130. No wonder it’s arse is sagging

I just got on live chat and was told delivery will be 6-12 from time of paying deposit for delivery in Australia. I guess we already knew as much though.
