THE INEOS GRENADIER looks at first glance like a Stars in Their Eyes-type tribute to the original Land Rover Defender.
And that's no surprise: the model was dreamt up at a pub called the Grenadier, and its very existence is a tribute to Land Rover's legendary 4x4. In fact, it's what many people think today's Defender 110 should be like.
As a new car company, Ineos is well aware of what an ambitious goal it set itself. As such, its team includes designers and engineers whose CVs include the Mercedes-Benz G-Class luxury SUV. As for the engines, they come from BMW, and you can have a 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol or a 3.0-litre diesel.
Your choice will probably depend on whether you'll spend most of your time on road or off it. While both engines offer loads of power and torque across the rev range, the petrol is smoother and quieter, making it better to drive on Tarmac. The diesel, on the other hand, has just a little more power at low revs, making it easier to take on just about any obstacle.
