Clever Consoles
There’s nothing superfluous inside the Grenadier. Any unnecessary electronics were stripped out, in favour of analogue controls. All the buttons, switches and dials are clearly labelled and purposely spaced, so they can be used with wet hands. Or gloves.
The overhead controls operate the off-road settings, and are separate to the rest of the console (to keep things simple when the terrain gets difficult). We’ve even positioned them so co-drivers can lend a hand if they need to.
Seating
We know owners will be spending a lot of time in their Grenadiers. So we’ve made our Recaro seats as comfortable as they are durable. Designed for long journeys, as well as jumping in and out all day.
Keeping things analogue, we made the seats mechanical; with levers to make adjustments, rather than motors. And to make sure the upholstery lasts just as long as the construction, the materials we’ve chosen are water-proof and stain-proof.
Open-Source Connectivity
The Grenadier connects to a winch just as easily as it connects to a smartphone.
The plug-and-play connectors mean you can add any third-party items, without rewiring. And Apple CarPlay/Android Auto come built-in, so all the technology in your pocket can be used on the 12.3-inch touch screen. Which means your navigation will always be up-to-date.
