Grenadier vs G-wagon: Rear picture

[BD1]

Just saw this on FB:

Must be in South Africa - that’s a Gauteng Province licence plate on the G-Wagon

IA Management might be looking at the old LR assembly plant....

Definitely Going to offer tons of easy access to the back. I’ve never owned a split door like that - my 80-series was up and down split And my Disco was one big door.

Brothers from another mother, the familial resemblance is definitely quite strong.

Rectangular box with large access door/s

Great comparison photo - I have a 2008 G and the rear door is just like that. Can be tricky to get large objects in, the Grenadier looks better. I have an order in for a Grenadier and I've seen them in the flesh - fantastic car

The G in the picture has some trays or gun boxes fitted - the floor of the actual boot is lower that it seems in first glance at the pic, obviously

Coming from a Nissan Y61 the split barn doors are quite useful. Not sure if the opening is the same between the Gren and the Patrol ( in the pictures i have seen it seems that is a tad smaller ) but for day to day very useful.

I will miss the horizontal split tailgate, but a vertical split rear door haas its own uses, for me, kid door/dog door.....

There are so many underestimated door concepts!

Had both door types LR vs Isuzu. Give me vertical split rear doors in preference

My thought as well. Good to see how much wider the Grenadiers door is.

I thought they wanted to build a decent vehicle!

I used to have the horizontal split on my LC100, after having vertical split in my 200 I'd never go back

You could actually, if you wanted to. Steve built his 110 from scratch w a galvanised chassis, Ashcroft transmission and brand new parts incl. engine, gearbox etc. More importantly , he put it together in true craftsmenship..and was offered 10k on top of the RRP back then..after having been to the Sahara w it several times. Impressively capable vehicle, once put together properly with some minor upgrades..

IA mgmt. brought the German number plates along..probably not without an afterthought..

@MrMike although you’re about to

My 200 is a GX (current drive) , they only have vertical split doors same as the IG
