INEOS Grenadier: Old-School 4×4 With Modern Tech

INEOS Grenadier started in 2017 when Chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe identified a gap in the market for a utility 4X4. Accordingly, he decided to do something about it while sitting with friends, and they outlined a plan to create an entirely new vehicle! Since then, they worked hard, and they succeeded because they made things happen, and they made it happen! Find out more about INEOS Grenadier the 4X4 built on purpose.  

About INEOS Grenadier  

After 4 years of challenging work, Chairman Jim Ratcliffe said that the car is ‘more’ than envisaged 4 years ago. INEOS Grenadier team developed the car in partnership with industry experts, working with some of the world’s finest suppliers (BMW, Magna Steyr, ZF, Carraro) to take the vehicle capability further. INEOS Grenadier had an Old-school 4×4 with modern tech, using BMW engines, and it will be on sale in 2022.
