Ineos Grenadier

[mbalbritton]

Any of you heard about this vehicle? Some pretentious bitch came into my wife’s place of work and the lady was driving one of these.

Apparently some guy bought the tooling for the old Land Rovers and is building modernized versions for STOOOOPID amount.

I just hadn’t ever heard of them. According to Wiki they’ve only made something like 4500 of them in their first year of production, 2023.

INEOS identified a gap in the market for a stripped back, utilitarian, hard-working 4X4 engineered for modern day compliance and reliability. We’re building a serious off-roader from the ground up ready for all American conditions.

$80k for a “stripped down utilitarian Off-Roader”

Bullshit, this a Soccer mom vehicle.

We have one in cnc4x4. It is built very well. Very solid construction.

Very expensive but works well on easy to moderate trails

Checked one out back in December when it ran through the carwash I was at. Cool yes, stupid expensive also yes.

They are honestly pretty well built and nice inside, but nowhere near 100k nice--pretty much like a real land Rover.

I thought they were electric/hybrid. My son's place kicking coach just got one. Sold his Shelby Raptor and got it. I'll never understand, other than he makes bank.

Several around here.

But also several cyber trucks, escalades, G-wagons, and range rovers. All more expensive, and some triple the cost

I look at them like kioti to Kubota

USA marketing office is in Raleigh
Twin turbo BMW I6. Pretty rugged and proven engine and transmission.
They've had some supplier issues and growing pains...but nice trucks.

And for sure not as ghey as a Braptor truck for daily commuting

This.

There’s a handful running around here too.

Saw one cruising around uwharrie last year. Looked pretty cool. I probably wouldn’t buy one though.

Guy two doors down from me has one. I thought it was a defender.

I've always liked the styling. I hope other auto makers would catch a clue. Everything doesn't need to be huge bulks of vehicles. Lots of auto makers seems have gone over board with aspects of branding. Bring back smart, functional, basic styling that doesn't look like a Pinewood Derby car or Feminine hygiene product with wheels.

Thanks a lot….. now I have lost my only fans ads for this bs on fb

Saw them last Oct at Overland Expo East. It's a more pricey Land Rover Defender. Meh

not even in the same league

JLR shat all over the 'defender' name/lineage/heritage/legacy/soul whatever. there is no new defender.

That statement sounds reminiscent of “Mopar or No Car”

Theres a dealership off main st in high point. Its def cool looking.

 

[jcramsey]

Not exactly apples to apples but Grenadier still cheaper than a Himilaya Land Rover though.

I had know idea these companies were out there. Kinda cool, pricey but cool.

 

[Atla]

I'd drive one, just so you peasants would know I'm richer than thou
