The Principal Ineos Grenadier ute was caught without disguise.
The image of an undisguised prototype has been shared on Facebook, revealing its tough look. The car is registered in Germany, but it is not clear where the pictures were taken.
Although the front part of the car has not changed compared to grenade wagon, the dual-cabin body sits in front of the high-walled tub with chunky sport bars running the length.
Although Ineos has confirmed the Quartermaster name will be applied to this car, there is still prominent Grenadier branding stamped into the back door.
The Grenadier Quartermaster will debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next week. That’s a big deal for the company’s Australian division – the fourth-largest market by sales by far.
the beginning just started shipping Its Grenadier wagon arrived in Australian hands after months of delay, but for many buyers, the new two-chamber was of more interest.
“The importance of it for the Australian market is huge… I think we also have a pretty unique proposition,” said Justin Hocevar, boss of Ineos Automotive Asia Pacific. told us last week.
For the price of the wagon, the Quartermaster can cost about the same as the entry-level versions of the 1500 . ram in Australia. Based on what we know about the wagon, the ute must be a very off-roading monster compared to its rivals.
The Grenadier dual-cab ute is also shaping up to be a modern competitor with Toyota Landcruiser 70 Series Dual Cab – the solid but basic icon is currently down in price due to a large backlog of orders.
“We don’t have a legacy to their story, but we certainly made a big investment in high-quality equipment and I think people were really drawn to that,” Hocevar said.
The Grenadier Quartermaster will share most of the same specs as the wagon – such as the engine, axles, front half panels, interior. But it will also offer a longer wheelbase and higher payload than the 932kg maximum in the wagon’s stock.
Power in the Grenadier wagon comes from a pair of BMW inline six-cylinder engines. The diesel has 183kW of power and 550Nm of torque, while the petrol has 210kW and 450Nm. An 8-speed automatic transmission and a low-range 4×4 system will be fitted.
