Ineos Grenadier customer cars arrive at dealers
Discussion
I believe the cars are being held until around the 28th Feb for collection, although customers have been allowed to view their cars. Which are now arriving at Swiss dealers.
There is also a big media event happening in N Scotland, but restrictions apply until the 8th Feb, so unlikely to see anything published before then.
Simply loving that blue colour
Walk around of a customer vehicle at a dealership.

I guess of note, there were some very vocal PH users that seem to have nothing but hatred and contempt for this vehicle, swearing blind it would never see the light of day and that they were infallibly correct on this (you know who you are, or I could link thread/post user names
)
I wonder, are any of you prepared to eat humble pie and say you were wrong?

I much prefer the look of that to the current LR offering...
What about prices?
ETA: Would prefer it without the snorkel!
Like all things currently, prices are strong.What about prices?

They are priced comparably to the new Defender, but don't go as high. Which puts them slightly more money than Toyota Land Cruiser or a good spec Ford Ranger. Although they are of higher spec/performance than a Land Cruiser or Ranger.

You'd have to be mad to buy one over of a Land Cruiser. Depreciation off a cliff I think.
Kind of a mad comment. The Land Cruiser only comes with a low powered slow diesel engine and is way behind in almost every area. Plus it's fugly. Its not as if we get the 70 Series here in the UK.Depreciation is only 1 part of buying. Looking at your car history, it clearly hasn't been your primary concern either, so why post about it like this? It's not as if you have a crystal ball and predict the future either.

I still don't really get it, I think I'd still just by an old Defender or similar if I wanted a "real" off-roader. Fair play to them for getting it to production though.
News flash, you can't buy an old Defender new.Frankly your argument could apply to any car, so why don't all car makers toss in the towel if it is pointless making new cars. Everyone should just buy used ones
As a huge Land Rover lover, the Grenadier is way better spec and way more capable than the old 110.

Think it's fantastic these are being built in Britain. A fantastic vote of confidence in brexit Britain from arch brexiteer Jim Ratcliffe creating all those high paid, high skilled jobs.
Well done Jim...!
I'm sure I'm due a parrot here, or this comment is strongly tongue in cheek but are they not built at the old Smart factory?Well done Jim...!

Except they're being built in Hambach, France- https://ineosgrenadier.com/en/gb/explore/the-grena...Well done Jim...!
I might need a parrot too, if I've missed the joke on this one!

The LC (Prado) does, at least, have proven reliability on its side. If you were buying a Grenadine as a working or expedition vehicle then you'd certainly be comparing it to the Land Cruiser (or a Hilux)
As a fun weekend 'lifestyle' vehicle, then the Toyota is a bit boring in comparison.

I'd agree that the Grenadier is better specced, not sure about more capable and I'll be curious to see how reliability is once they start getting used.
Like I say, I think they're cool but I don't think I'd be interested in buying even if I had the money.
