While Grenadier, also on the market in Italy since mid-May, the details are more than clear, there are only some information about the new electric and compact variant. It will use a completely renewed platform but will maintain the high dynamic qualities of the "big brother". The new solution, given the conditions, will easily reincarnate Defender 90 only using a battery system. It will be built alongside the civilian and commercial versions of the Grenadier at the Ineos plant in Hambach, France, but the company has not yet provided an expected timetable for its introduction to the market.
With the Grenadier positioned as a rival to Land Rover Defender 110, Jeep Wrangler and Mercedes G-Class, the more compact version could directly challenge Suzuki Jimny although the propulsion system is completely different. Despite the intention to develop a battery-powered model, the manufacturer has specified that it will not stop the production of more traditional combustion and hydrogen vehicles. Working in partnership with Hyundai, which currently offers the Nexo (our test here) and has bold plans to expand its commercial hydrogen offering over the next few years, Ineos is developing a hydrogen-powered Grenadier capable of tackling any obstacle.
