This is one of the areas we still need to explore. This series of videos gets me closer to planning a trip

Awful noise aka ‘music’ makes this unwatchable

Already on it

Nice fortuner ❤

Great in depth narrative of the Ineos. I plan on delivery of mine in a couple weeks.

What a bunch of good people. Trips with you guys must be fun, more fun and even more fun. And it was very honest opinion of the car and good points what need to be made different.

Thank you for your interesting review. I am seriously considering replacing my 2021 3.0l Defender D250 110 which has been very reliable and comfortable over several long overland trips in Morocco, Europe and Iceland. I am looking for the Grenadier to give me a lot more comfort than my older 'classic Defenders' and also feel more part of the driving experience than my current 110. What would be really helpful in making a decision to buy a Grenadier versus keeping or replacing the Defender is to understand how the Grenadier is on and off-road fully loaded for an overland trip. I have yet to see any such reviews. Any help or links on this point would be much appreciated.

If you want to know the quality of the car... try it in the desert and mountains of Saudi Arabia... I don't think it's better than Toyota!

Nice 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great review! The most thorough I’ve seen!

Had mine just over a month now, 2000+ miles and rising. My only real criticism is the fuel economy, which is worst than my old LR110CSW 200Tdi running on SVO, its well screwed together, very comfortable and can be very fast for 2.7T! On the road it is quiet, smooth and easy to drive.

The most expensive utilitarian vehicle every made. I so wanted to grenadier but the price is ridiculous. Instead of getting a few on the road; they done the opposite and charged so much they created more a ranger Rover for the rich. Dumb

So now I know what or rather whom Moira Rose sounds like; the first driver! Can just picture him saying, "a disgruntulllled paingwaaan!"

Did I hear 13.5 m / 44.3 feet turning radius? If so, not as good as what I had expected/hoped for on a clean sheet off road design.

Awesome video guys. Easily the most in-depth walk around and discussion I’ve seen on TH-cam from real enthusiasts. This is basically the only car on my radar that I would look at purchasing to replace my Defender. I’m definitely excited to experience one first hand.

Did they ever fix the visibility out of the side windows especially in the rear seats?

New... "Hands free" descent...

Ok, this model, at least, so way too "upmarket" for an actual off-road user.

Has this man ever driven a car?! He’s appalling!!

Also drove it my negatives 1) Foot well is tight 2) No lumbar support 3 No center arm rest at rear 4) Drive seat adjustment is fiddly 5) Rear view camera is tiny for such a large screen. Otherwise what a car.

Best review of IG to date.... well done lads.

Lol the Ineos guy had no idea what priming the engine is for when you ran out of fuel. Semi worrying....

Comprehensive review. IG is the 'dogs nuts' especially in terms of offroad capability. The ONLY issues I have is in terms of durability of the engine/driveline and cooling system in HOT offroad conditions, especially when towing. This will be a deal breaker for many people in OZ, which we will not get a good read on until 2-5 years down the track. Long range fuel tank and water storage is also an issue given the lack of underfloor space. Battery is higher than the old Defender (passenger's seat box) which was never an issue even in deep water crossings.

A $7000 Russian made Lada Niva 4x4 can do 80% of what this can do. This car is way too expensive for who they want to sell to. I think this will be a bust especially since you can get a Jeep Wrangler or Ford Bronco or certain off-road pickups for half the price

If a Defender and a Hummer had a baby

Great review guys , what about the oil filter , is it easily accessible ? also can a catch can be fitted to the engine breather on the diesel ?

Wheel studs or wheel nuts? Where does the long range fuel tank fit?

I think I’d like it more if it wasn’t trying so desperately hard to look like a Defender. It just ends up looking like a Chinese knock off defender, my biggest concern is it’s from a company that’s never made a car before which brings its own issues, but if sales after the initial buzz aren’t what they hope will they get bored and pack it in?

Hey guys. BMW nutter here. 6:37 is a an oil cooler. They're notorious for leaking badly and you need to replace the hoses and o rings often. Even as a BMW enthusiast, I'm a bit disappointed they chose a BMW engine for harsh off road use. They're not dependable enough with their plastic cooling systems, constant gasket oil leaks, PCV valve issues and timing chain issues. I wouldn't be a fan of owning one for too long if I was using this vehicle in extremely harsh, remote areas.

V6?? Are you sure??? From BMW??? 😮

Er.... Inline 6 not v6

This is a brilliant car, BMW engines are good i don't think they can cause major problems, remember when land rover was owned by BMW the defender at a point in time was fitted with BMW engines , this a good car, also their are not that many landrover dealerships in remote areas of Africa

Got my test drive booked, just waiting for the software upgrade and then again so in love with my 110 😜

Great vid guys... but you've triggered me haha when are people going to realize toyota vdj engines are as unreliable and complex and anything else. Far out, the toyota obsessive wank fest is getting old. If they didnt have a long rectangle body no one in their right mind would bother with one. The bmw engine has been proven for longer than the toyota (if you actually check your facts), as has the 8hp ZF gearbox they are using. Do some research and see how reliable and bullet proof that powertrain is. See what other cars its in and what sort of power and torque its been producing/coping with. The fear of "overlanding" reliability is just defunct. It no less risky that taking a 200 series, or 76/9. learn to fix/trouble shoot what you have, rule number one of remote touring. No car is perfect. You also dont have to drop the purchase price again on top to make it useable. You can drive straight to the tracks with a warrantee.. You can literally throw a second battery in this (hook it right up to the pre wired ctek), bolt your roof topper on, throw your fridge in, plug it straight in and hit the tracks equipped with factory lockers, winch, snorkel, great performance on and off road and genuine comfort. How a toyota wagon is even in the question with this is beyond me.

It’s not a ‘compact V6’. It is a straight six.

Awesome review. Best and most comprehensive review I have seen, anywhere. Thanks lads! Mine will arrive soon in Australia. Super excited! 🎉

Good review. I appreciate you sharing.

BMW common rail injection engines like the bb57 as fitted to the Grenadier are self priming just cycle the ignition a couple of times should do the trick. I>e> turn on wait 30 seconds then crank turn off then repeat a couple of times.

Nice 214270

45:15 in, lack of an insulated shield for the positive battery terminal is a surprising omission given the battery location. That would be high on my priority list to fix.

Good ramble guys. Mine is due July/August. Going for the 2 seater commercial utility wagon. It can be registered as a commercial vehicle so doesn’t attract 1st registration luxury tax here in the U.K. Not sure whether the Trialmaster and Fieldmaster are exempt, so worth checking out before going that route. The 2 seater has a flat floor the whole way through to the steel mesh cargo bulkhead behind the front seats. A competent fabricator can then make a split level shelf, so rifle cases can be stowed out of the way of prying eyes, leaving the top deck for other lighter kit. I also spoke to Red Winches who produce the bespoke winch for the Grenadier. My concerns were that the supplied (expensive) winch was somewhat limited by the 15m rope capacity. However, they thoroughly tested the winch and it never let them down. But they also pointed out that the winch is a self recovery winch, NOT a general recovery winch, so think carefully before hitting that option box thinking you’re getting a full on winch with 50m of line. Under European legislation, fitting a winch to a vehicle as OE fitment is incredibly difficult, as Red Winches and Magna Steyr found to their cost, particularly when trying to comply with Pedestrian Impact regs. This is why the Grenadier winch is fitted in the front chassis cross member as opposed to externally. BUT, and here’s the kicker, you can fit your own winch as an aftermarket item as long as it’s for “Off Road Use Only”, and Red Winches are about to announce their new Nomad winch which can be ordered with an Ineos fitting kit. This will offer double the rope capacity as well as leaving Ineos litigation free since the winch will be an aftermarket item and not OE. Apparently the electrics box where the rear seats would be is meant to be waterproof, but I’ve yet to clarify that with my supplier. The auxiliary battery also lives in the same space. Makes sense (to me) to put all that in one place.

That was a great rig Tim! I see you constructed your drawer system yourself. Any tips on the design or templates to follow? Thanks!

The left leg position is a deal breaker for me, Ill know more when I get a test drive later in April...

Engine Bay and layout on 7.01 reminds me of a Landrover Discovery 2 4.0/4.6. The pulleys and ABS unit

I can't get past the light grey headliner and pillars. I hope they bring out an all black interior option, even at additional cost. It reminds me of the LC79 grey interior, which I have always hated and which I know many others do also. They 'almost' nailed it.

Brilliant review fellas! Good to see you back on the channel. Your reaction to the Grenadier’s capabilities mirrored my own, I was blown away, radical indeed! Can’t wait to get one.

Is the back cargo space bigger than a 76 series? Any difference if you remove the rear seats?
