It’s no secret that the Ineos Grenadier is heavily inspired by the original Land Rover Defender, so it’s only natural for UK-based tuner Chelsea Truck Company to start offering a series of upgrades for it. The tuner even promises “dramatically-styled conversion packages” for the Grenadier in the coming months. The company has already worked on at least three examples of the Grenadier, adding new wheels, subtle exterior upgrades, and an overhauled interior. Their coolest build yet is the pictured Ineos Grenadier Station Wagon finished in the stock Sela Green shade.
The SUV rides on a new set of 20-inch
Mondial RS Forged alloy wheels shod in 35-inch tires, true to the off-road
nature of the Grenadier. The only other aftermarket parts on the exterior are
the gloss black spare wheel cover mounted on the tailgate, and the slightly
modified wheel arches allowing the fitment of larger tires. However, the other
Grenadier builds featured a Dakar-inspired front grille and wider fender
extensions.
The highlight of the Chelsea Truck Company’s Grenadiers will
be the re-trimmed interior. The factory-fit Recaro seats are re-upholstered in
tan leather with a three-dimensional perforated pattern making the cabin look
and feel more luxurious than ever. The green Ineos Grenadier, powered by a
stock BMW-sourced 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel has already been sold for
£ 73,999 (US$ 92,300). This is surprisingly affordable when you consider that the
base price of a five-seater Ineos Grenadier Station Wagon is £ 76,000 (US$ 94,800)
in the UK.
Browsing on the Chelsea Truck Company’s
inventory we found an even cheaper Grenadier, priced at £ 51,999 (US$ 64,800). This
one though, is a black two-seater LCV version with stock upholstery and a
different set of 20-inch wheels.
