INEOS reveals Grenadier interior: ready for anything work and life throws at it
LONDON, July 7, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

- Innovative design proves that a capable body-on-frame 4X4 can still deliver 
on modern comfort and refinement

- As with the exterior design, the focus is on practicality and utility – 
from switches and dials, to stowage and customisation options

- Interior is built to endure, with hard-wearing materials and integrated tech 
that will stand the test of time

- #GrenadierUnwrapped

The interior of the INEOS Grenadier is designed on purpose, to deliver the 
space, practicality and versatility owners need from a hard-working 4X4. 
Starting from a clean sheet, the design incorporates the modern technology and 
comfort expected of a vehicle for the 2020s and beyond.

"When we started thinking about the Grenadier's interior, we looked carefully 
at modern aircraft, boats and even tractors for inspiration, where switches are 
sited for optimal function, regular controls are close to hand, auxiliary ones 
are further away," said Toby Ecuyer, Head of Design. "You can see the same 
approach in the Grenadier: the layout is functional and logical, designed with 
ease of use in mind. It has everything you need and nothing you don't."

Toggle switches and dials on the centre and overhead consoles are widely spaced 
and clearly labelled. Auxiliary switches have been built in, pre-wired to 
support the addition of winches, work lights and other accessories. 

Advanced technology is included only where it benefits functionality and 
usability. The infotainment system is accessed via a 12.3-inch touchscreen, or 
by using a rotary dial. The Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration means 
users can rely on smartphone navigation which will always be up to date.  And 
the off-road pathfinder navigation system allows drivers to programme, follow 
and record their route via waypoints, when roads and tracks are left behind.

With hard-wearing surface materials throughout, the Grenadier is designed to 
endure. Drain plugs in the rubber flooring and wipe-down upholstery mean the 
interior can be hosed out. Water-resistant anti-stain Recaro seats provide 
ergonomic support and comfort on or off the road. Carpets and leather 
upholstery will be available for those aiming to leave the mud and sand outside.

Stowage space has been maximised, with a dry storage box under the rear seat, a 
lockable central console cubby box, and secure side-mounted storage in the rear 
load area. There is also scope for individualisation, with a wide range of 
interior options and accessories to help each owner customise the Grenadier to 
best perform its role.

Dirk Heilmann, INEOS Automotive's CEO, said: "Inside and out, the Grenadier has 
been designed to do a job - to get people and their kit where they want to go 
in comfort, in control and with no fuss. It just works."

130 second-phase Grenadier prototypes are currently half-way through their 
target of 1.8 million kilometres of gruelling testing around the world. Next 
stage: the dunes of Morocco.

Reservations will open from October 2021 and deliveries will start from July 
2022.
