There are very few pure and simple off-road vehicles left in the price list. Between retired models and others that have evolved into more “civilized” SUVs, old-school off-roaders are an endangered species. However, their honor is upheld by theIneos Grenadiera model that focuses on a “boxy” style and construction simplicity and that aims to continue the philosophy of the Land Rover Defender of the past.
A model that is definitely one of a kind on the market, characterised by interiors equally original.
Ineos Grenadier, the board
If the modern trend is to reduce the presence of physical controls and group all the functions on the screens, the Ineos goes exactly the opposite way. Buttons and levers are well present on the Grenadier’s dashboard, which is inspired (even in the console positioned above the occupants) by the world of jets.
All functions can be activated physically, to be easier to manage even when wearing work gloves. However, there is a 12.3” central display for infotainment compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and equipped with a navigation system navigation specific for off-road that allows you to save the route backwards and find your way home.
Additionally, on the passenger side we find a large plastic grab handle to hold on to during more intense off-roading.
Ineos Grenadier, finishes and materials
In addition to the hard plastics, the off-road vehicle by Ineos features coverings in leather and satin steel that convey an idea of care, but above all of robustness. Recaro seats They are made of resistant fabric and are designed to be washed, while the leather ones are still available as an optional.

The overall quality is high and the assembly is solid. Overall, it feels like you are sitting in a vehicle that is designed to last.
Ineos Grenadier, the space
The square lines of the IneosGrenadier allow for maximum space (especially for the head) for passengers. In fact, you are comfortable both in the front and in the back, while the trunk It is quite large and offers a variable volume between 1,152 litres and 2,035 litres. The load threshold it is quite high, 90 cm, while the wardrobe-style doors – with a 70/30 split – are comfortable and give excellent access, but can be a drawback in car parks.
