THE GRENADIER STORY
BUILDING ON PURPOSE
Since we started our journey to build a utilitarian 4X4, we’ve come a long way. We’ve established INEOS Automotive as a serious contender in 4X4 development and manufacturing. We’ve partnered with some of the biggest names in the automotive industry. We’ve made our way from vision to prototype. We’ve secured a world-class production facility and delivery team. We’ve delivered customer Grenadiers to customers all around the world. We’re building our double cab pick up, the Quartermaster. We’ve started work on our Chassis Cab. And we’re planning future BEV and Hydrogen models.
ORDER YOUR GRENADIER
MAY 2022
After 1.1 million miles of testing, we launched the production version of our capable and rugged 4X4. At the front of the queue, ‘reservists’ who’d put down money last October to reserve their spot. Around the world, customers were able to use our online configurator to build their Grenadier. In many/most* markets, they could price and order them online, too.
RESERVATIONS OPEN
OCTOBER 2021
We gave our long-term supporters the opportunity to place their reservation first, two weeks before opening to the general public. The response was very positive, with people keen to be first in line when orders open in early 2022. Sales, servicing and pricing information was also shared. And we launched the first iteration of our configurator, with more features, options and accessories still to come.
OUR PRODUCTION FACILITY
DECEMBER 2020
To ensure the highest standards of production, we needed a world-class manufacturing facility. So we secured a site in Hambach, formerly owned by Mercedes-Benz. The perfect base to produce the Grenadier.
DESIGNED FOR WORK
JULY 2020
INEOS Automotive revealed the exterior design of the Grenadier to the world. The vehicle has been designed to meet the demands for a rugged, capable and functional go-anywhere working tool.
ENGINEERING PARTNERS
DECEMBER 2019
Transitioning from concept to series development is always a major milestone. It marked the moment the INEOS Grenadier team was joined by the 4X4 specialists, Magna Steyr, to engineer the production vehicle.
NAMED BY YOU
SEPTEMBER 2019
When we asked members of the 4X4 community to name our new vehicle, 6,000 of you replied. You told us the answer was right under our nose. The Grenadier, after the London pub where it all began.
WORLD-CLASS ENGINEERING
FEBRUARY 2018
Our 200-strong team of expert engineers started working full-time on the vehicle from our offices in Stuttgart. Fusing British design with German engineering precision.
A PUB, A PINT AND A PLAN
THE BEGINNING
Over a pint at the Grenadier pub in London, INEOS Chairman and 4X4 enthusiast Sir Jim Ratcliffe had an idea. The vision for a stripped back, no-nonsense, utilitarian 4X4 was born.
