Ineos Automotive, in partnership with retail partner LeTech GmbH & Co KG, has, quite literally, taken the Grenadier Station Wagon and Quartermaster’s off-road capabilities to new heights, with the British marque and German tuning company introducing a raised chassis, portal axles, offset wheel hubs, and larger off-road rubber that, together, have resulted in an increased ground clearance of a whopping 514 mm (up 250 mm on the standard cars).

However, that is not all, further enhancing the Station Wagon and its equally rugged double-cab bakkie sibling’s off-road prowess, these modifications have improved the cars’ water-wading capability — to an impressive 1 050 mm. That’s 250 mm more than the original models’ already commendable wading-depth rating of 800 mm.

A prototype version of a Quartermaster boasting these upgrades was shown at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed. According to Ineos Automotive, the positive response towards the prototype was impossible to ignore, and, as such, it will, indeed, become available…“Soon,” the firm says. In addition, the automaker has mentioned that the portal-axle Grenadier already has real-world applications. Indeed, similarly modified vehicles were recently delivered to the fire brigade in Mühlheim an der Ruhr, Germany.

As a reminder, the Grenadier Station Wagon and Quartermaster, the latter of which proved immensely capable in the Baviaanskloof Mega Reserve at the local launch in July 2024, is available with the choice of two BMW-sourced, 3.0-litre inline-six engine options, both equipped with breathing apparatus in the shape of turbocharging.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
