INEOS plans to build smaller, fully electric 4×4

INEOS CEO, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has confirmed plans to produce a fully-electric 4×4.

The new model will use an all-new smaller platform than the Grenadier, while retaining its workhorse DNA and off-road capabilities.  

The plans underscore INEOS’s long-term commitment to the automotive industry. The second model line will join the Grenadier and Grenadier pick-up in the INEOS Automotive product family.

INEOS continues to back hydrogen fuel cells as the clean powertrain solution for future versions of the Grenadier. A fuel cell technology demonstrator is due to begin on- and off-road testing by the end of 2022.

Reference to the new model can be heard from 05:18 onwards in episode twelve of Building The Grenadier:

Launch timings are yet to be confirmed for the electrified 4×4.

Meanwhile, we can expect the Grenadier model to hit our shores later this year in Q4 with prices starting from $93,500.
