What Is the 2025 Ineos Grenadier?
The Ineos Grenadier is a boxy, off-road-focused mid-size SUV that takes its inspiration from classic Land Rover Defender models. It debuted for 2024 as the first vehicle from the upstart automaker. The Grenadier’s sole engine is a BMW-sourced 282-horsepower, turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder that’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All Grenadiers come standard with solid front and rear axles, full-time four-wheel drive with low-range gearing, and a locking center differential. Despite its throwback styling and uncompromisingly rugged nature, the Grenadier is positioned (and priced) as a luxury vehicle. Its interior is high-quality but deliberately utilitarian — equal parts modern and vintage in its design and layout. The Grenadier’s rivals include the Land Rover Defender, Lexus GX and Mercedes-Benz G-Class. It could also be cross-shopped against high-end versions of the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler and Toyota Land Cruiser. The Grenadier also comes as a crew-cab pickup truck called the Grenadier Quartermaster.

Should I Buy the 2025 Ineos Grenadier?
The Ineos Grenadier is an unashamedly rough-and-tumble take on a go-anywhere SUV. Its off-road prowess is among the very best, but that capability comes at the cost of on-road tractability and refinement. In particular, the steering is vague and doesn’t self-center after cornering. Driving the Grenadier is like driving a rugged truck from decades ago – and that unique character, along with its high build quality, is a key part of the Grenadier’s appeal. It’s an acquired taste, not to mention a pricey one, but it serves its niche market quite well.
