Ineos Grenadier Review - Land Cruiser 70 series competitor

[Franco Cozzo]

Good to see a new competitor on the block to the Land Cruiser 70 series:

The 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel six makes 183kW of power (3250-4200rpm) and 550Nm of torque (1250-3000rpm) and is capable of moving the Grenadier from 0-100km/h in 9.9 seconds.

The 3.0-litre single-turbo petrol six makes 210kW of power (4750rpm) and 450Nm of torque (1750-4000rpm) and is capable of moving the Grenadier from 0-100km/h in 8.6 seconds.

Both engines come mated to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission (codenamed 8HP51 for the petrol, 8HP76 for the diesel), with what Ineos calls a new “heavy duty” torque converter.

It gets a very positive reivew, this thing looks to be a good competitor to the Land Cruiser 70 series wagon, about similar pricing.

Although I'm concerned over the choice of those engines, they spend so much time and effort ruggedising that vehicle, right down to the choice of recirculating ball steering rack, to then put BMW engines in it - not exactly known for their robustness

They should have used a truck manufacturers light/medium duty diesel engine and then either the GM L8T or the Ford 7.3L V8 options I reckon for the unleaded job.
