New Ineos Grenadier review! The Ineos Grenadier is a new off-road capable, rugged SUV with the styling and ethos of an old-school Defender. Today I'm reviewing this Ineos Grenadier and I'll show you the many quirks and features. I'm also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it's like to drive.

5:37 “you don’t want just all buttons and switches because if you did, it would end up looking like an aircraft control panel.” That’s exactly what I want.
-
“Here’s why you don’t want that.” That, sir, is precisely why I want that.
-
The "toot" button feature with the bicycle logo is specifically there because Ineos sponsors a cycling team :-) it's the little things that make the package great...
-
Glad to see there’s guys out there with enough money and ambition to do something like this. From the manual handbrake to the exterior design and the switches. It seems like what a lot of us want. I know it’s a luxury car and niche, but seriously if they could get this in the 50-60k area they’d sell like crazy I think
-
In the era of boring cars with minimalistic non practical interiors, this one clearly is a breath of fresh air. The interior is heavily inspired from an aircraft cockpit, and I gotta admit this is cool !
-
"looks like an aircraft control panel" you say that like it's a bad thing.
-
What a terrible time to be poor
-
This is not an SUV Toy, this thing is capable! And the interior with all its buttons is EXACTLY what I would prefer! Plus a BMW engine … to put it short: I want one!
-
5:36 An interior looking like a fighter jet cockpit is exactly what we want, Doug.
-
Actually love how the interior looks really like an old school airplane cockpit
-
LOVE IT - love the buttons, the build quality, the ruggedness, what a great SUV!
-
Watched this video yesterday. Driving down a single track road for work today and meet a Grenadier headed the other direction. Couldn't believe I immediately saw one in the wild, much less on a narrow road in a Colorado forest. I want one
-
Doug: "Giant array of buttons and switches 👎" Everyone else: Clean, simple, and good looking design 👍
-
Doug showing the most stylish center console in "off road" suv segment saying "this is why you don't want all switches" is very funny to me
-
Proper hand brake and physical buttons, yes, that is exactly what I want!
-
The button panels in this car are absolute perfection. They way they're grouped, spaced, labeled, positioned, everything. It's beautiful.
-
Doug has never dropped the ball so hard in any video I’ve ever seen of his complaining about the consoles and switch gear. That set up is outstanding !
-
The Grenadier actually started when Ratcliffe got denied by Land Rover for his old Defender to be serviced as they were discontinuing the Defender. Ratcliffe then combed through all the dcouments he could on the Defender and discovered that Land Rover had actually failed to patent the classic Defender shape and style. So Ratcliffe stole it, won the legal case and thus the Ineos Grenadier was born. Dude is a legend.
-
A utilitarian vehicle that answers all our questions and is designed the way we want it, with the traditional functions we expect. I LOVE THIS THING.
-
I specced out and ordered one of these as soon as they were allowing it. Just had to wait for the dealer network to be built here in the U.S. I should be picking up my custom ordered Ineos in about a month. Great looking and driving SUV.
