INEOS GRENADIER OFFROAD TEST and REVIEW

A decent 4wd review, at last! Good on Ineos for letting go and trusting their vehicle and someone we listen to.

Landrover fitted the ZF8HP to the D4 in 2012 so landy owners are well aware of how good they are off-road, good to see you pushing the vehicle in real world conditions.

I’m loving this vehicle, as long as it proves itself reliable over time it’s a winner.

your the first person i've seen take this on something more than a dirt road with small bumps. So nice to see it could actually handle it and probably just needs a lift.

2 best reviews of the Grenadier - last week for on road and general impressions, this week for off road. Quality, Ronny, well done.

Well that was the quickest 14 minute video I think I have ever watched. Can't wait for more.

Automotive journalists don’t really provide much that you can’t garner from a press release. Especially when the manufacturer is shoving shrimp cocktails and beers down in front of them at the end of each and every day of their initial press “reviews.” I think there’s a ton of value in someone buying their own rig for reviews and hopefully consumers will catch on at some point

This is the most relevant test of the Grenadier I've seen yet (even though Australia of course fits perfectly for it =). And since it's a series, a lot of it lies still ahead. Great and thanks.

I think the grenadiers offroad capability is totally real world oriented. Good for about everything you come across while traveling or driving backcountry for whatever reason you might have.

transfer case used in grenadier is gear driven instead of your usual chain drive , thats why it lets you use all 8 gears

Amazing for a stock vehicle. Looking forward to mods.

Terrific review with real off-roading assessment - not just the gravel road seen in so many other reviews. I have had a Land Rover Defender for 27 years and it is mighty capable when driven correctly and intelligently. It has excellent clearance, the best approach angles, fantastic balance with the weight being low, and because the body is aluminum and light, gets good fuel economy. It has fantastic low range and pulling power, and with locked diffs has gone almost anywhere I directed it over the 27 years. Occasionally an alternate route was sought since its a Land Rover and not a tracked tank. But what to move on to when sadly the time comes to replace her? Virtually any car can drive along a gravel road, so it was exciting to watch this review by a fellow Aussie truly go OFF-ROAD in Australia. I have wondered for over 12 months about functional clearance and 4WD capability, and this footage and commentary has been very helpful. Thanks mate. Rob - Perth.

Awesome review. Thanks for the extensive test Ronny. Im so impressed that as soon as my lease is up on my current car I'm buying the ute version of this. Wow

I think with portal axles ( here in Germany on Aftermarket available) and Lift this Granadier could scare some Jeep Drivers. Great Review 👍

I have a Jeep grand Cherokee. same gearbox with the 3.6L V6 Petrol. Full time 4x4 with locking center diff with 4L. lovely car. highly underrated.

Ive had mine since October 23. Did the sand dunes you were on and forgot to put on off road or the centre diff. However, it handled it beautifully. Then i did the trip again at the grenadier day but remembered the offroad. Just great, so easy at Lancelin.

Would be great to have a touring / towing review 👍

Good work🤌 appreciate you being unbiased and also looking at all the details. A review like this is worth so much more than people driving a car for a few hours on a track prepared by the manufacturer 🤝

You’re spot on with the diff locks. They engage and disengage instantly, but… the stupid computer needs to detect different rotation speeds across the axle to realise they are unlocked. I noticed this on mine straight away, its fine if you have space but if you’re in a heavily rutted track you can’t always climb out of the ruts or turn a corner that isn’t there! That said i still love the car, it really is very good. Looking forward to the report with the lift and the 34’s. If you like it I’ll lift mine too.

Mate, loving the videos keep em coming, have been intrigued by this machine and following since its conception, so far it’s meeting the hype
