Is the 2024 Ineos Grenadier Fieldmaster the BEST new luxury SUV to BUY? 

So a defender, a g-wagon and a bmw got really drunk one night...

I have done 2000 trouble free miles in mine in the last 3 weeks. 6 hrs in it today no problems, no squeeks, no rattles, no problems. The only problem is parties expecting a BMW X5 in the way it drives, it is a 4x4 not a car on stilts. This is a vehicle that feels like it can drive through and over as opposed to around. It will sit at 80 mph all day. If you have tools you can actually take it apart in 5 minutes, unlike so many of the competitors. Something that I will be keeping for a looong time.

Bring it on Wasn't expecting this one JOE. Love the rugged boxy look

Been following INEOS for a few years now. Glad to see they got this BEAST up and running for release here in the States. Nice to have an alternative European SUV thats not over 100k👍

All manual seat controls is a dream come true. Love it!

I've been enjoying the Ineos videos on Harry's garage. It looks legit, including how the back doors open old school (like an Isuzu Trooper). And great to see that buttons are coming back. Btw, the off road screen shows Attitude, not Altitude. Great to see Ineos has made its way over here. Big kudos for getting this on your channel.

“If you see a G wagon stuck in a parking lot” lol! 😂

Thanks Joe. I had but released a reservation on one of these. I did the Arizona test drive (about five minutes in low range up and down a modest trail) and the cool factor on these is through the roof. But there were too many unknowns for me to go through with it: 1. I didn't love it enough to sell my 17 LC200 for; 2. No dealer in PHX, nearest in So Cal, 300 miles away; 3. New manufacture reliability risk; 4. No limit on potential dealer pricing markups; 5. Highway mileage 14mpg; 6. Other than cool factor, not as good of overall off-roader as a Wrangler or Bronco because of dealers, support, history, etc.; 7. It was good, but not great in the test drive, the Ineos staff seemed as dodgy as other manufacturers'. One thing on the test drive event, they left the Grenadiers running for the 30-60 minutes between the 5 minute test drives. For cooling? For batteries? Whatever it was, it didn't feel right.

Super cool but you gotta pay to play up here in the GR8 White North fully loaded is $117 800.80 as always Thanks Lori for making Joe look like a class act.

Can’t wait to get mine. Put the reservation very early. Some folks have pulled back their reservations because of what they call unknowns. But when I saw the preproduction units built like a damn tank and felt that familiar steering of a true solid axle front end, it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. No need to go crazy with aftermarket gear to make the loaded up from the factory Trialmaster (definitely with the safari roof windows) provide some serious capability off-road. The other issue that perplexes me are the negative comments about that BMW 58 engine. It’s tuned for torque and not blown out for horsepower. That engine has some of the best core mechanical reliability ratings of any six out there. This thing is gonna last a good long time, no doubt. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

Oh wow! This thing is a monster I’ve never heard of Ineos this is amazing and fire 🔥

Never thought I'd say this, because I love technology in vehicles. The more futuristic the interior looks the better I like it. But, I absolutely love the interior of this Ineos. They did a fantastic job making it look fun to be in and operate all of the buttons and switches. It just looks like it can take a beating and keep on ticking. I would easily pick this over any Land Rover or Mercedes.

What a fantastic salesman! (And I speak as a salesman.). Such enthusiasm and conveys the desirability of the car. Great job! 🙂

Looks awesome and based on this review, it undercuts in GLS and Land Rover by the thousands $$$. Love it!

Ineos Grenadier is NOT shitty SUV, it's OFF-ROAD car and with this in mind it was developed! Most of SUVs doesn't have locked differentials, reduction gears etc. SUV is a vehicle to make groceries and travel with family of four.

Love the look on the exterior and the interior. Cheers to you England 🇬🇧 👍.

Fantastic vehicle but the missing dash is such a negative..

I was given an opportunity to test drive one of these a couple of weeks back in Pasadena California and loved it! It’s a fantastic driving experience and perfectly designed for the vehicles intended use.

"G-Wagon stuck in a mall parking lot" I love it. Shade where it's due.

Dealerships coming to multiple locations in North America so you all gotta drive this thing before talking about it. I had chance to drive this both on & off road in two different countries and ride was surprisingly good. Extremely well built making no squeaking noise anywhere from the vehicle when off roading even the vehicle had high mileage on it after being used as test vehicle. (This vehicle was built in Mercedes factory). Think about Tesla making noise on highway driving 😂😂 Reliable B57 & B58 engine was a good choice!!

I saw Lori's reflection while you were showing the rear exterior and it occurred to me the hard work and skill that is involved. Great job, Lori! (I hope that's the correct spelling of her name.)

Joe keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍

omg been waiting for this one!

I like it, didn’t think I would, but it looks real good

I work for Crown. I will hopefully be selling Ineos soon. Great unbiased video. You did a great job. I subscribed.

Bro I swore you were gunna drop a $140k price tag. $70k ? That’s really respectable.

I've been on their website and built one up. They can get real expensive. Wish the diesel was available like in Europe though. Waiting for your ride and drive video now.

Joe great video as always, beautiful suv😍 great price for this suv way cheaper than g wagon, can’t wait to get one

If GWagon and Defender had a baby......😮

Never heard about this brand. Loved it.

Wow Joe i never heard of this SUV before, however I like what I see so far in your review.

This car is now on my dream car list it’s beautiful

Hey Joe. It it one more SUV that costs too much money and does not give potential buyers enough luxury of the items that parking lot queens use! I will stay with the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Mohave. Keep up the excellent reviews. Thanks to Lori for the fantastic camera work. Not an easy feat to do.

Huggy Bear 😂 My call sign was ‘Snuggles’

Hm, I own an Ineos Grenadier Fieldmaster (22/23 initial / original series ) in Germany since about 3 weeks. 763kms on Odometer. Grenadier is by far an OffRoader and less a SUV. Or- if an SUV what they where in the beginning. - An Offroader with some comfort and a bit of paved road capability. It is a lot of fun driving it - even with recirculating ball steering, No mirrors in Sunshades, no lights for the lady to review the make up, no coathooks. No lane assist, no electronic reminder and instructor telling me do this do that. Driving it is entirely MY responsibility. There are a lot of journalists looking at it from a road car and offroad mimic SUV perspective. - If you purchase a Grenadier be aware - this is a true dino saur. A loing distance overlanding offroader, meant to go well on unpaved corrugated tracks but not a rock cat like a Wrangler but paved road capable. Fun with every mile. But know exactly if you want this..

That’s a well built vehicle 👌🏻

PRETTY NICE -YES IT DOES CHECK OFF THE BOXES FOR A PREMO--I WOULD BUY ONE JOE

Perfect every day utility vehicle

I literally seen on of these on the highway today and was so confused on what it was! Now I know! Lol

Looks like a combination of several vehicles. I really dig it. For the price I'd take this over a lot of other brands. Thanks for the review and info 👍🏼

Thanks JOE, thanks Lori

" Well looky what we have here boys. Im Wrangler, and these are my buds Bronco and Defender, and we hear you the new kid on the block. Well all we can say is.....Hang tough." - Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler, and Rover Defender

Thanks Joe!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Okay those roof mounted aircraft type control/switches are fucking awesome

That INEOS looks fantastic!

That’s amazing an off road car! So cool

Those doors sound solid

I saw two car haulers full of these south of Omaha a few weeks ago and had no idea what they were.

It is a really cool vehicle, i went to a drive event in California. I liked that they had one tilted up on a ramp so we could see underneath it at the drive event, it really has some beefy stuff underneath it seems like they used some high quality/spec components BUT some of the overseas reviews from people, it seems like it needs some fine tuning between features flat out not working, interior bits coming apart, warning lights mysteriously coming on with no codes, parking sensors beeping all the time etc. So there are known bugs to sort thru but then there are the unknowns of it just being a new vehicle and the lack of support. I live in Southern California and there are two dealers but they are both about 80 miles from my home. I had a 2016 BMW I bought brand new and it was broken all the time. There is a BMW dealer about 15 miles from my house AND they provided loan vehicles and it was still very frustrating to be bringing it in all the time. I have no idea what the service experience will be like with one of these. If it breaks under warranty will I have to deal with getting it 80 miles to a dealer and then getting myself back home? Will I be without any vehicle 80 miles from home? There are a whole lot of question marks around the ineos Grenadier. Kudos to them for effort, but for over $80,000 the way I would spec it, I would hope for a great customer experience and from what I can tell it doesn’t seem that great with the roll out up to now. $80,000+ is a lot of money, if they fold up tomorrow, what are we left with? Also I wouldn’t call it “luxury” by any means, the engine is perfect for a work/utility vehicle but “luxury” to me is excess, there is no excess of power on this thing. To me “luxury” is having rear seat air conditioning and power seats. This has none of that. So I don’t know where “luxury” would be used on this.

"We got a compiss" You crack me up with your quirks.

Joe I saw a huge scratch on the rear interior panel and that storage panel also looked Ill fitting?

This vehicle needs a driver side gauge cluster. I'd hate having to constantly look side ways to the central infotainment cluster to check my speed and every thing else. This vehicle should also give you the option to disengage four wheel drive when not needed, to decrease wear and tear on drivetrain as oppose to full time 4 wheel drive that it is equipped with.

That is a old school defender giving another name.

wonderful

That looks perfect Raiti for a African Safari 😀🐅🦓🦏🐘🐒🐯🦁

This is very interesting.

Really ilike this review

this is an awesome and very interesting vehicle.

One word, " wow " !

Raiti’s Rides make the best videos ever :)

Looks a lot like a Defender 110. This would be a fun vehicle for awhile, but reliability is king.

I think this will be my next vehicle. I’m just wondering if it’s a BMW powertrain can we get theses serviced at BMW that would make or break this deal for me because it seems like the dealerships are very spread out and not very easily accessible for service.

Nice, not too many electronics. An SUV that can really be taken off road

I'm calling it! Watch people slap a Mercedes badge in front of this, it's gonna happen 😂

Thx ☘️

I wish car manufacturers would stop using gloss black interior trim. I have an AMG E53 Cabriolet, first car I've owned with gloss black trim, and I don't like the gloss black. It scratches sooo easily!

Really cool I love these vehicles. What did you think? Did you know about the little horn button that's for pedestrians red button on the steering wheel on the right hand side? It's a different horn than the normal horn. It's for pedestrians or people on bicycles. It's not as loud. Kinda cool. Rare hats also has a full down table on some of the options. Where the spare tire is on the inside there's a table that folds down.

Really like that interior except having to look to the right at the small screen. Very cool vehicle though.

This is the story I received from a friend in Romania: They are looking like Land Rover Defender but they are not cheap at all. A very rich English guy (a bear maker or something) was so sad when the old Defender version has been retreated as he went to Land Rover and asked them to sell the old Defender's production line in order to let him to continue to make Defender. They refused his offer and he was so determined to make a Defender looking car as he made his own 4x4 company. What you see has a BMW 3.0 diesel engine, an automatic gear box made by ZF, a Magna Steyr (one of the most famous European parts and car maker - Mercedes G Klass is made by them) 4x4 system. The price is much bigger than the old Defender's price used to be.

Glorious.

No chancce for 80,000. Why? we got "reliable TOYOTA" for 50,000 Land Cruiser 250.

10:09 since the grenadier is powered by a BMW Turbo I6 engine just like the Toyota Supra can it be serviced at a BMW dealership??

Can’t wait till you get your hands on the amg GT 2024

Interesting Joe. Looks like it belongs on the Australian Outback 😎 Do they have twinkies in Australia? 😊

What a Defender 110 Used to be But I Still Like the New Defender 110, More. The I.G.F. Should Have a Heads Up Display For Speed & etc.

💯💯💯

Love the look, do not like the center Tablet style gauge at all, even though Recaro is a name brand seat they usually don't feel comfortable to me after a while, they seriously need electronic lumbar and adjustments up and down like others of this caliber especially for long range driving. Most people will never go seriously off road in these so creature comforts are a necessity. I also thing the steering wheel should be just as adjustable for shorter people, IDK just my opinion.

Thanks Joe. Awesome video. Anything with a bmw won’t last forever but the materials look good.

We hope these cars are abundant in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦🇸🇦

For those who want a G wagon but don’t wanna pay that G wagon price ❤

Where can I get one. This would be perfect for Alaska

I thought it was pronounced grenader , maybe just because that sounds cooler and I think most Americans will accidentally call it that, but they look cool and can’t wait to see one in person

When I hit the lottery!!!!

I am missing small dash with just 3 guages and ventilated seats at this price point are necessary

B58 with ZF8speed is perfect.

I just got back from a 2600 mile round trip to Seattle and back to LA in my 2012 Wrangler Rubicon. Almost 12 years old. 96K on the clock. It has solid axles, body on frame, lockers, disconnecting sway bar etc. On regular gas, not super, I averaged 21 mpg over the trip. This new Ineos - body on frame, solid axles etc just like my Wrangler. But the Ineos averages 14mpg on super! It is not more capable off road - less ground clearance, no disconnecting sway bar, and worse on road - slower, 14mpg, really sluggish steering. Basically Ineos has released a dinosaur. A very cool looking dinosaur. Once the novelty factor has worn off, so will the interest. Just wait for the comparison tests against the new LandCruiser/GX, Bronco, latest Wrangler.

Never seen one, never heard of them. 🇬🇧

No gauge cluster is a deal breaker on such an old-school looking, rugged offroad vehicle. Also, this vehicle with the BMW turbo inline 6 is fairly underpowered for such a massive vehicle, especially at this price point. Would rather get a GX.

Nice SUV

Love the retro style with the old school knobs, but the manual seats? That's a huge ZONK for me 🤔

Would be nice if it came with some 33" tyres standard

This is how Defender 110 should be like.

I'm almost sold but it doesn't have a driver cluster i prefer watching my own gauge rather than on the center infotainment. Also it is expensive bronco and wrangler are more capable offroad cheaper to repair too.

Mother can we have a Land Rover defender? We have a defender at home! Defender at home:

Joe - We don't like to see you taking unnecessary risks like climbing up that fixed ladder without safety hardness.

Land Rover Revamp. Defender 110 It’s just perfect

Feels like a Pelican briefcase. Rugged and useful.

Really missing speedometer in front of dashboard..

Joe, thank you for the video. I had followed Ineos grenadier SUV since the concept back two or three years ago. I would like to know if for USA market. Ineos manufacture did fix a huge problem with the steering wheel stabilizer bar. This stabilizer was below the bottom line of the vehicle about two inches and it was an issues because if you go off road. Stock or something could break that stabilizer. Please look underneath in the front axle between axle and steering bars and stabilizer any updates you can report. Thank you.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😉😉😉

Need to 86 leather and put some high durability cloth seats
