First Ineos Grenadier rolls off production line, one step closer to local launch

Production of the Ineos Grenadier has begun, with the first models rolling off the assembly line in Hambach, France.

It’s a significant milestone for the British brand, as it means customers will begin to receive their orders in December this year despite ongoing global supply chain disruptions.

Ineos' local arm told 4X4 Australia that if shipping goes well, the first Australian deliveries could come as early as December but most likely early in the new year.

Mark Tennant, Ineos Automotive's Commercial Director, said the company has come a long way since the project kicked off in 2017.

“This is a landmark moment for Ineos Automotive as a vehicle manufacturer,” Tennant said.

“To get to this point is a testament to the resilience and hard work of the entire Ineos Automotive team, our development partners and our suppliers – for which we thank them all as we now look forward to making our first deliveries to customers.”

The six-model Grenadier range consists of three five-seat station wagon models, and three two-seat utility wagons. All models are available with either petrol or diesel BMW 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder engines.

Model nomenclatures include Grenadier, Grenadier Trialmaster Edition and Grenadier Fieldmaster edition, with prices starting at $84,500 before on-road costs for the base utility wagon. Prices top-out at $96,495 for the range-topping Fieldmaster station wagon

Order books opened in Australia back in May 2022.
