Ineos had 2 Grenadier's on display at the recent National 4x4 Outdoor Show in Brisbane...
They also had staff from the UK on the stand (instead of just hiring local representative's). One of them is one of the engineers that was part of the testing program... Currently 25 on their way to Australia for the first deliveries, with another 180 on the second shipment (all sold out)...
Now I've been watching the development of the Grenadier right from the beginning. So this was a great moment to finally see it for myself. And it did not disappoint. Just to put things into perspective the pricing for the Australian market is as follow (for the station wagon);
Grenadier (Base model): $98,000
Grenadier Trailmaster Edition: $109,525
Grenadier Fieldmaster Edition: $109,525
Compared to other vehicles in the market;
LC76 GXL: $73,100
LC300 GXL: $112,444
LC300 VX: $125,482
Patrol Ti: $82,160
Patrol Ti-L: $95,115
