on september 25, the ineos grenadier off-road vehicle was officially launched in china, with three models available, priced between rmb 808,000 and rmb 908,000. the vehicle has already been sold in the european market, with a starting price of over £60,000 in the uk.

i believe many car fans are already familiar with the background of the ineos grenadier.

sir jim ratcliffe, founder of the british ineos petrochemical group, was once the richest man in the uk and a fanatical fan of the old defender. the discontinuation of the defender made him very unhappy, so he used his own money to establish ineos automotive in 2017 and formed a team of senior automotive industry professionals to develop and manufacture four-wheel drive off-road vehicles. since then, the grenadier came into being.

sir jim ratcliffe initially wanted to directly purchase the mold of the old defender, but was rejected by land rover, so the ineos grenadier did not achieve a 100% restoration, but the tough and straight body lines, four round lights on the front face, side anti-scratch strips, roof racks, external spare tires and ladders on the left are undoubtedly "tributes" to the old defender, and the roof also uses a horizontally arranged segmented skylight. the interior is full of physical buttons at first glance, as if you are in the cockpit of an airplane, and the full lcd instrument panel and central control screen and other technological configurations are also present.

it is worth mentioning that the bmw chicken leg gear lever appears on the new car, because it is equipped with two bmw inline six-cylinder engines, of which the 3.0t b58 twin-turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 210 kw and a maximum torque of 450 nm, and the diesel model has a maximum power of 183 kw and a maximum torque of 550 nm. the 8at gearbox comes from zf. in addition, the new car will adopt a non-load-bearing chassis and front and rear hard bridges, part-time four-wheel drive and differential locks.

as early as the end of 2019, land rover applied for an appearance patent for the old defender. however, the british government rejected land rover's application on the grounds that the defender's appearance did not have a unique style. later, land rover applied again and was rejected again. so we can see this ineos grenadier that goes against the times. will you pay for it for sentiment?
