INEOS Grenadier Station Wagon

Start with what you will actually do. In mid-2026 the base Grenadier starts from around $113,835 drive-away, the blank canvas. Above it, two Belstaff editions sit at the same price, about $127,485 drive-away: the Trialmaster is the off-road one, adding front and rear diff locks and touring hardware, while the Fieldmaster spends the money on Safari windows, heated leather and carpet instead. For most people buying a Grenadier for what it is, the Trialmaster's locks are worth more than the Fieldmaster's comfort kit. The buying guide above breaks each grade down.

Both are BMW 3.0-litre straight-sixes and cost the same. The diesel makes 183kW and 550Nm, and its extra torque and longer range from the 90-litre tank make it the touring choice, which is why about 80 per cent of buyers take it. The petrol makes 210kW and 450Nm, is smoother and a little lighter, so it carries slightly more payload, but it is thirstier and works harder off-road. Pick the diesel if you tow or travel long distances, the petrol if you want the sweeter engine and do mostly shorter trips.

This is its core strength. It has a 36.2-degree approach angle, a 36.1-degree departure angle, 264mm of ground clearance and an 800mm wading depth, and beam axles front and rear give it the wheel articulation to use them. A locking centre differential is standard, and the Trialmaster adds front and rear locks, so all three axles can be locked. There is no camera-based off-road tech like some rivals, and shifting ranges and locks takes a firm hand, but the hardware is genuine and the Grenadier goes almost anywhere you point it.

No. The Grenadier's 3,550kg gross vehicle mass places it outside ANCAP's testing jurisdiction, so it carries no star rating, and INEOS has not submitted it. Separately, INEOS Australia has chosen not to fit autonomous emergency braking or lane-departure warning, which are offered on the Grenadier in some overseas markets, citing a lack of local demand. It does have a reversing camera and rear parking sensors as standard. If a current safety rating or active-braking tech is on your must-have list, this is the single biggest thing to weigh before buying.

The Grenadier is rated to tow 3,500kg braked, the common maximum for the class, with a 350kg tow ball download. The figure that matters most is the 7,000kg gross combination mass: it sets how much you can carry and tow at once. Payload runs from 833kg on the diesel to 907kg on the lighter petrol, so the petrol leaves a little more in reserve. As with any heavy tow rig, check the GCM maths for your loaded weight rather than assuming the maximum tow and maximum payload can both be used together.

Ownership is where the Grenadier asks the most. In mid-2026 it is priced into LandCruiser 300 territory, from around $113,835 drive-away, and INEOS does not offer a capped-price servicing program, so running costs are less predictable than a mainstream 4WD's. The dealer network is small at around 24 sites, which matters if you travel remote. Against that, it carries a 5-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty with 5 years of roadside assistance, services fall at a sensible 12 months or 15,000km, and the galvanised body and simple mechanicals are built to last.
