Ineos Automotive exists because Sir Jim Ratcliffe wanted the old Land Rover Defender back and decided to build it himself. The Grenadier is the result: a ladder-frame, live-axle expedition 4x4 with BMW straight-six power, up to three locking differentials and a cabin of aircraft-style switches — deliberately mechanical where modern SUVs are digital. On-road manners improved with the 2026 steering revision; economy and refinement remain the price of the mission. A five-year unlimited-mileage warranty sweetens genuinely specialist ownership.
