All the information arrives via the centre stack. A speedo in front of the driver would be much better and where are the paddle-shifters? There's no embedded sat-nav, either, so your smart-phone is it.

At a minimum all Grenadier grades feature a centre diff lock, choice of petrol or diesel power, 17-inch allow wheels, a Nappa leather tiller, hose-out interior, and bash plates. Ineos also offers a full rage of interior and exterior options like rock-sliders, roof racks, jerry-can holders, bike carriers and even a gas-bottle mount. If you can bolt it to a car, it's in the Ineos catalogue.

The BMW sourced inline sixes are both ripper power units. They're smooth, refined and delivery their power where it's needed. The eight-speed transmission works brilliantly, too.

Outputs for the 3.0L petrol are 210kW/450Nm and 183kW/550Nm for the 3.0L diesel.

The Grenadier's front seats will accommodate bigger people with generous padding and support. Heated front seats are an option, but there's no ventilated-seats box to tick. Rear seat is also better than many with a logical backrest angle.

Both petrol and diesel versions can get from rest to 100km/h in under 10 seconds. The petrol is about a second faster, but both are limited to 160km/h top speed for safety.

The diesel Grenadier should be able to cover at least 850km at highway speeds before refuelling. The thirstier petrol should be capable of 700km. This is borderline for Aussie outback touring.
