Strong, Tough, Off and On-Roader Coming to US & Elsewhere

British petrochemical billionaire Jim Ratcliffe and his new startup Ineos have created a very classic, strong off-roader called Grenadier 4x4 that pushes the clock back to classic off-roading & pushes the vehicle forward into the digital age.  Here are the key facts:

  • Ineos' Grenadier 4x4 is an old-fashioned, hard core, multi-use 4x4 off-roader and on-roader, imbued with the latest hi-tech automotive technologies
  • Ineos was founded by British petrochemical billionaire Jim Ratcliffe who wanted to do a modern version of a classic 4x4 rather than the current comfort laden SUVs for off-roading
  • This no-nonsense, "massively strong", hard metal off-roader will go on sale in the US and elsewhere by the second half of this year starting at $50,000
  • Its technologies enable it to wade through water up to 31&1/2 inches and it has impressive traction and agility on snowy roads and tough terrain
  • Vehicle has 10.4" of ground clearance and can tilt 45 degrees
  • Has hill descent control, activated by a button, that can hold speeds down to 2 mph
  • Powered by a re-tuned BMW sourced 3.0-liter, turbocharged gas combustion engine with 282 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque with off-road tuned ZF 8-speed automatic transmission with off-road tuning
  • Can sit 5 people in 2-rows
  • Fascinating, multi-European nation, new vehicle project with the vehicle idea conceived in Britain, developed in Germany and built in France.
