I guess the weight, aerodynamics, drivetrain losses and tyres must be huge tbh. Its hard to justify how my fairly old RRS can acheive 35mpg on a run with a 50% bigger capacity engine of an older design than the ineos. Looking at the stats, the grenadier is 500kg heavier, same wheelbase, same L/W footprint but the ineos is signifncantlyl taller.
I did have a deposit on a grenadier but cancelled it when they started putting the delivery dates back. maybe grenadier v2.0 down the line. Its possible given the reviews coming through its not really a 'lifestyle' family vehicle I thought it was going to be as per that video below. What I really wanted was a 'new' Discovery 4 and its more a work truck I guess, and perhaps a compromise too far for my uses. Still think they look great though. |

Not sure it’s a work bus either as I don’t think its VAT qualifying?

I think over a thousand bhp from a TDI especially at those mpg figures, would be very impressive! 
On the subject of fuel, I realised the over day that I have now put over 10,000 gallons of diesel into my Puma's tank.  Each injector has discharged more than 2,500 gallons through those little tiny orifices. |

Roughly speaking it will be around 10,000 multiplied by £6, which is probably a realistic average price per gallon over the period.
In other words somewhere around three times the purchase price of the Defender or about 80% of the cost of a new Grenadier. And it's been worth every penny!  |

I hope that it gets used as doesn’t end up and a photographic virtual signalling vehicle that the Born Free Puma 110 was alleged to be.
Because they couldn’t be fixed in the field I understand that they were hardly used but looked the Part in the Land Rover One Life magazine. |

Got an email from Ineos about some new Grenadier merchandise. One of them is a white tee shirt so they must not be expecting owners to be tinkering with the vehicle

Those with a better knowledge will be able to tell me the answer. It can take a euro pallet, but doesn’t have enough payload to be VAT and LGV compliant? 1951 80" S1 2.0 1995 110 300TDI 1995 90 300TDI |
