No interior. WIPStatic demo only? Any interior shots?
do you think what was seen is different than what we see in the videos? Meaning those driving around getting the shit beat out of them are likley NOT what you saw?I’m not even sure it’s fair to call this thing a prototype. Driving mock-up is probably closer to the reality. Parts like the bumpers seemed to be fabricated out of a structural composite, like a model making material. Curious to see what actual manufactured parts will look like. Admitedly its not hard to be the fit and finish if the old defender, so a low bar.
Probably repurposed a now useless pre-prototype for inexpensive publicity. I'm looking forward the global tour with their actual testing prototypes.do you think what was seen is different than what we see in the videos?

What was shown was prototype 0001, what we're seeing in the videos today are likely more advanced and closer to a production vehicle.do you think what was seen is different than what we see in the videos? Meaning those driving around getting the shit beat out of them are likley NOT what you saw?
Ineos signing US dealers for rugged Grenadier SUV
British firm Ineos' Grenadier off-roader could reach the U.S. as early as 2023.www.motorauthority.com
Not sure how old this news is or if it was posted previously but Ex LR marketing executive has joined Ineos
To keep things simple, Ineos plans just one powertrain for the U.S., a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 sourced from BMW. It will be mated to an 8-speed automatic and four-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case. A diesel will be offered in other markets.
As for pricing, Ineos plans to position the Grenadier above affordable off-roaders like the Bronco and Wrangler but below the luxury level of the G-Class. Automotive News posits a price range between $75,000 and $120,000.
Welp, no diesel option in the US.
That's a kick in the nuts.
Yes, Rudolf would be so proud of how his design has been “improved” by today’s bureaucrats.Modern diesels are too complicated any more and gas engines keep getting better. It's a loss to the old-school diesel lover, but maybe not to the practical perspective.
Just lost me really. I was pretty pumped about the diesel, and was content with BMW's offering. That price point is way higher than originally anticipated, but I guess I knew it would be not cheap, no matter how utilitarian it would be. Still some hope, but dwindling fast.Welp, no diesel option in the US.

This article is disappointing on so many levels.
And
I was open to $50-60k with a diesel. $75k without? phbbbtttt.Just lost me really. I was pretty pumped about the diesel, and was content with BMW's offering.
