Ineos Automotive has revealed the exterior design of the Grenadier, its forthcoming, no-nonsense 4x4 vehicle.

Built from the ground up on an all new platform, the Ineos Grenadier has been designed to meet demand for a rugged, capable and comfortable go-anywhere working vehicle.

Created to fulfil the vision of adventurer and Ineos Group Chairman, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the Grenadier will be built to handle the world's harshest environments.

The Grenadier project started by identifying a gap in the market abandoned by a number of manufacturers: For a utilitarian off-road vehicle. This gave birth to the engineering blueprint for designing a modern, functional and highly capable 4x4 vehicle with utility at its core.

The development programme for the Grenadier will be moving forward, with prototype testing of its capability and durability now on the march towards accumulating 1.8 million test kilometres on and off-road over the coming year.
