The 2025 INEOS Grenadier<\/strong> is a square-jawed, old-school 4×4 that has wandered into a world of glossy crossovers and decided to keep its boots on. It is built for people who care more about axle articulation than ambient lighting, and it wears that purpose with pride. Under the bonnet lives a BMW straight-six, the cabin is tough and wipe-clean, and the whole thing feels engineered to shrug off a red-dust road trip without breaking a sweat. This INEOS Grenadier review <\/strong>focuses on how it stacks up in Australia right now, including real-world INEOS Grenadier features<\/strong>, performance<\/strong>, and off-road capabilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n

Pros:<\/strong> towering INEOS Grenadier off-road capabilities<\/strong>, locking diffs available, beefy ladder frame, BMW inline-six torque, huge boot and barn-door access, honest materials that suit hard use.<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/strong> heavy steering in town, missing modern driver aids, thirsty if you pick petrol, price sits in serious money territory, big turning circle.<\/p>\n

How Much Does It Cost?<\/h2>\n

Australian pricing for the 2025 range starts from $104,000 plus on-roads after a tariff exemption, with wagons from about $110,000 MRLP. At the top sits the 1924 Limited Edition at $123,600. Configurations include Base, Fieldmaster, Trialmaster, Cab Chassis and the Quartermaster ute. That gives buyers several 2025 Grenadier configurations<\/strong> to suit work or touring.<\/p>\n

Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n

The Grenadier<\/strong> sticks to a simple recipe that works off the bitumen. There is full-time 4WD with a two-speed transfer case, optional front and rear diff locks, generous approach and departure angles, and a claimed 800 mm wading depth. Hill work and ruts are its happy place. The roof and utility rails are designed for accessories, the cargo bay is huge, and the switchgear is big enough to use with gloves. Those practical touches are what buyers of INEOS Grenadier features <\/strong>actually feel day to day.<\/p>\n

Under the bonnet you have INEOS Grenadier engine options<\/strong> from BMW: a 3.0-litre turbo petrol making 210 kW and 450 Nm, or a 3.0-litre turbo diesel with 183 kW and 550 Nm, both paired to a ZF eight-speed auto. The petrol is smoother and quicker, the diesel stretches a tank further on long legs. INEOS Grenadier performance<\/strong> is about torque delivery and control, not lap times, and the driveline suits that brief.<\/p>\n

Inside, the INEOS Grenadier interior<\/strong> is functional more than luxe. You sit high, view out is commanding, and the aviation-style overhead console is a bit of fun. No frilly digital gimmicks here. You get CarPlay and Android Auto, a \u201cPathfinder\u201d breadcrumb function for routes, and tough materials that will not cry over mud. Space is properly useful too, with the wagon quoting 1,152 L to the second row. INEOS Grenadier dimensions<\/strong> read 4,855 mm long, 1,930 mm wide, 2,050 mm high, on a 2,922 mm wheelbase.<\/p>\n

Safety<\/h2>\n

Here is the trade-off. The INEOS Grenadier safety features<\/strong> list is old-school. Six airbags are standard, yet there is no AEB, no lane-keep, and no blind-spot warning in Australia at the time of writing. ANCAP has not tested it. If you want every driver aid, this will frustrate you. If you value mechanical simplicity and situational awareness, you may see the appeal. Either way, eyes open.<\/p>\n

Running Costs<\/h2>\n

Official combined consumption is 10.5 L\/100 km for the diesel and 12.6 L\/100 km for the petrol; in mixed use, testers have seen mid-teens from the petrol. Service intervals are 12 months or 15,000 km, and there is no national capped-price program published by INEOS Australia, so costs will vary by agent. Budget like you would for a heavy, low-volume 4×4 with serious hardware.<\/p>\n

Comparison To Its Competitors<\/h2>\n

INEOS Grenadier vs Land Rover Defender<\/a><\/strong> is the question everyone asks. The Defender<\/strong><\/a> is a brilliant all-rounder with independent suspension and a full suite of safety tech. It rides and steers with more polish, and it suits family life better. The Grenadier<\/strong> answers a different brief. It prefers corrugations to cul-de-sacs, trades finesse for feel, and gives you that mechanical connection enthusiasts miss in modern SUVs. Against Toyota\u2019s LandCruiser 76<\/strong><\/a>, the Grenadier<\/strong> is far nicer on a long road, with a more modern powertrain and cabin. Against Patrol, it lacks V8 charisma but wins on touring ergonomics and payload. If your weekends include low-range and a map full of empty space, the Grenadier<\/strong> makes sense. If you want school-run serenity, the Defender<\/strong><\/a> still rules the suburbs.<\/p>\n
