2024 Ineos Grenadier 4x4 Review and Off-Road Test

Acoustic warning for exceeding speed limits unfortunately have become mandatory for new cars in Europe due to some EU legislation. And it is required to do at least 3 operating steps to deactivate it.
Enjoy your freedom in the US!

Grenadier has the diesel engine option but I doubt it is coming to the States.

Who tf is buying these? Rich people yes, but that’s only so many sales, so the rest of people buying any vehicle over $60k are financially illiterate and overextending themselves. And that’s MILLIONS of Americans. Stop buying new cars

The Grenadier downhill assist speed is set and controlled with the cruise control +/-, and the trip computer is controlled by the end of turn signal stem. It toggles in the tiny “remaining range” box.

The Ineos for me !!

Defender 2.0 is the new Defender

“…window de-frogers…” sold.

Great review but the MPG is a bit of a coffin nail.

My local SoCal dealer has 23 Grenadiers collecting dust on the dealership lot. My hunch is that customers who pre-ordered didn’t follow through with their purchase due to higher finance rates, poor fuel mileage, life changes, etc.

Great video. Great angle, great settings. You're getting better and better. And the explanation of the vehicle in detail. By the way, nice story about the background and creation of the Grenadier.

Fusilier is pronounced “fuse-il-leer”
Love the show by the way!!

I saw one of these behind me in Silverdale yesterday afternoon. Looks cool up close.

Not very happy with no traditional dash! That center screen would be much better if you can use the entire thing for Car Play and Nav...

Throwing shade on the African continent is the most white American thing ever.

UPDATE: I just spoke to Ineos and they say owners should have received a service email (The week of June 17, 2024) with information on an update to remove the over-speed warning. It will require a dealer service to reflash the system. (Sorry, no OTA option.)

Bloody terrific channel, and such balanced views on the vehicles that you’re reviewing makes a fresh change from so many other ego-fueled “critiquers” as opposed to valid reviewers such as yourself.
The Land Rovers that we used on the farm were Series I & II, so seeing the plush accomodation the Ineos owners get is sweet music to my kidneys!😏

Oddly enough, I actually saw one of these on the road down in Riverside County in southern California a few weeks ago.

Someone talk me out of trading my 2022 Frontier for this please

When will you finally say a t-shirt that says "legs, torso, proportionate" on it?

The off road track was disappointing as i could do it with 4x2 SUV

I was wandering when you take it for off road review. And there it is. Great review. Greetings

consider that Toyota has blowing engines problems ... there is no alternative ...

Congratulation on this review! I just loved it, including the video and audio quality, impressive job! It brought me to my childhood memories in Europe where would virtually go anywhere we wanted with a Defender, seating in the back bench seats. I was considering buying a 4Runner TRD Pro as I felt it had the best off-road capabilities in the US market. Nevertheless, seeing the Ineos I am now doubting. I would really like to ask you whether you would be able to make an off road test video comparing the top 2-3 4x4 with the best off road capabilities. I believe it would be really interesting to know the Top of the Top in the US. It's a pity that most options are SUVs or trucks and that old school 4x4 are mostly gone in the market but I believe Ineos came to fill this gap of small off-road enthusiasts!

Please run a stock 4Runner trd pro on the new mountain course

First review I've seen that actually talked about where the axles came from. Nice. I'm happy with the 4Runner I currently own, but a million miles from now when road salt has rotted it to death, it'll be nice to have another option in the market to consider. Granted it's a bit of a jump in price. This is quickly becoming my favorite review channel.

Over 90k cad for this and it’s missing a lot of standard features. Having the no speedo is pretty dumb. Taking that away and then adding a speed limiter noise is weird. Like you said for them not going with the Dana and going with the tractor one is not ideal for North Americans. Trying to get the parts from Europe not idea.

Too bad they didn’t have the option for the diesel like Australia does

The speed warning feature is due to the latest EU regulations. But it beats me why it's enabled on US-spec Grenadiers.

INEOS with no hesitation

Another great review! Idk, I still can't love the look of this truck. Just saw it in person 2 days ago. It's like a half Land Rover half Jeep lol. Maybe some day it will grow on me.

Hey Ryan, why don't you do some actual reseach? INEOS did not decide on ADAS... it is the law in Europe now. There is a software update to ba able to disable in the US if you do not have tow package.if you are going to test off road, then one would assume, you would actually use the trim level (with lockers) made for doing so and not the post version for around the village.but kudos to you over all for getting off road unlike 90% of reviews. My Grennie will aarive in Sept built up in custom configurator with steelies and lockers rear AND front.

It's way too expensive and has way too many things that can break. Bring back simplicity.

Boy, 15 mpg is pretty disappointing given the advancements in technology. My 80 series also has solid axles and full time 4wd. Its also shaped like a brick and may even have a worse cd and frontal area, it also has a much simper and more inefficient engine and half the gear ratios and it too was rated at 15 mpg. Before a lift and re-gear I was easily getting 15 mpg highway as well, (now I am down to 13-14). I also don't have to use premium fuel. 15 mpg on premium...oof. I can understand getting poor city mileage because that's just the physics, but how did they manage to also get such terrible highway economy? Ineos doesn't seem to public their final drive ratio, but they do publish their low range and we have the numbers for the ZF8HP. Doing the math (53.81 published crawl ratio / (2.5 x 4.71) = 4.57 final drive. Okay. 4.57 gears will do it. How strange they need such a short final. My math says that at 70 mph you are spinning that engine at nearly 2300 rpm and Utah legal speeds of 80 you are doing 2600 rpm. For perspective my 80 series with 33 inch tires and 4.56 gears is doing 2500 and 2800 rpm respectively....which is also really high.

Man that land cruiser looks much better

Yes the price is certainly 2.0 as the Grenadier costs €170k+ in my country. Insane pricing.

This SUV is ok. I don't like homages that basically copy originals. I like the Bronco way more!

This is a really balanced review, Ryan. I don’t think I’ve seen your channel before. Just a couple of details (like speed adjustment on Downhill Assist), but pretty well researched and evaluated against the design objectives and intended buyer criteria. Way better than most of what I’ve seen, with the exception of hardcore specialists like Dirtbox or Ronny Dahl - and for a more general audience. Also really nice production quality. Very funny you did this on a Fieldmaster - you’ll have to test out the Trialmaster and take it up a notch on the course - that would be fun. I guess what a lot of people miss on the reviews is how to think about it, and based on that frame, to appropriately evaluate it. People are so used to the softer road-oriented SUV’s that have maybe been modified with a lift and bigger wheels, that they just don’t know how to process the Grenadier experience. But what would you do if you were driving a Unimog? It would make no sense to whine about return to center or turning radius. It’s a machine built for a specific purpose and buyer. These things aren’t quirks in design - they are the result of the engineering that HAS to be the way it is to achieve the design brief. So for those of us who want that (and by definition it’s not a large group), we’re actually kind of surprised it’s as smooth and “civilized” as it is - but that’s just the cherry on top for us. You did a nice job capturing that.

ineos didn't choose to put the driver assistance tools on. Its an EU requirement from 7th July 2024. All new cars from the EU have to have it from then. And it cannot be disabled. Apparently, the US is looking at adopting similar but at a later date. Ineos are reported to have a software update coming specifically for the US to make it possible to disable and remember that
.

Great review, I agree with you, I wish all manufactures would incorporate the "Toot" feature. I hope you review the Ineos electric version when it arrives. I would go with Toyota due to Ineos' unique parts, dealer locations, and as anybody knows, NEVER buy the first edition of any vehicle. Plus this is a brand new manufacturer.

These are not cheap, but i appreciate that Ineos went for practicality and not full lux. With the state of car prices, this is good value, and somewhat attainable for normal people.

Sorry, just had to laugh at your pronunciation of Fusilier.

Land Cruiser has the better value, but the look of the Grenadier is so much better.

Much better off road course than TFL’s!

You can lift the back seat bottoms before lowering the seat backs.

P.s. you can turn off that speed nanny, and it has tripmeters. RTM.

Seat adjustments are manual as they wanted to keep things as simple as possible. As he navigates through all the screens looking at tire temps, slip angles, blinker fluid levels…

This is exactly what I want!

I get the not complaining about daily driver things because it isn't a daily driver, but it's also very expensive.

I have seen them in real life, they are beautiful, id probably just go with a resto Defender for the price tag.
