    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.

      Hey Cliff, Yes that is what he said. But in fairness it being solid axle and not independent suspension might have a part to play. The 70 series is 14,4m / 47.24ft VS the new defender which is only 12,84m / 42.13. Loads of people would prefer the solid axle we suspect.

    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.

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.

    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.

      Emerson thank you for your comment. We mentioned Toyota because it is what we are familiar with. We also mentioned the old Landrover defender which Mike is familiar with. Both these forms of utilitarian vehicles were mentioned as the inspiration for this vehicle so it would seem fair to compare. As for engine and gear box which similar utilitarian vehicles use these drive trains off-roading?

      @@africaoverland fair enough- as for the engines for off-roading, i struggle to see how that makes a difference. the stresses of high performance street cars far exceed what this application will place on one. look what the bmw x5 diesels put out and what stress they place through the 8hp. Land Rover has used the 8HP for about 10 years as well if you have a look. Discovery 4, 5 and equivalent range rovers. Driving a car across the Simpson Dessert or through the African plans doesnt make an engine /gearbox less reliable/capable. its an extremely proven platform- that's my point. One with many more years than the vdj. Which is by no means trouble free...(another point that we seem to pretend doesn't exist) Lastly if you want to see what the bmw engine platform can handle in offload abuse, look up some Romanian off road channels they have been using these engines for years in their Nissan patrols...

    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.

      @@africaoverland Yes I watched out for Tim's comment on the left foot and he seemed fine. I'm not that tall, so it may be not as much of an issue as I imagine.

      To be honest, most folks who seem to have an issue with this are either unusually tall, or (how shall I put this) on the heavy side. The Grenadier does look to have quite a compact/snug interior for such a large car. I can see many of us going on diets to get more comfortable! 🙂

    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.

      We suspect so, and Mike H has also confirmed. Mike’s 76 is in for bodywork if we find it to be bigger we will let you know here.🤙
