Ineos may have rolled out an extensive customization program for the Grenadier, but that’s hardly going to deter the tuning crowd from working their magic. Enter the Chelsea Truck Company, which has taken a fresh pass at the off-roader, decking it out with a bespoke body kit that looks like it could withstand a battlefield, plus a reimagined interior featuring Nappa leather upholstery. The Ineos Grenadier Series II Expedition was inspired by the tuner’s widebody Land Rover Defenders. The exterior modifications are designed by Kahn, featuring a “3D Military Textured Matte Black” finish that sets them apart from the rest of the creme-colored bodywork, together with exposed carbon fiber components.
The Grenadier received bolt-on fender
extensions, a new grille, a bulged hood with integrated LEDs, redesigned front
and rear bumpers with larger intakes, a roof spoiler, and
electronically-retractable side steps with illumination. The SUV rides on matte
black 20-inch RS Forged deep concave wheels shod in 37-inch all-terrain tires.
These are combined with a 30 mm suspension lift, further
increasing the ground clearance of the Grenadier. Under the hood lies the stock
BMW-sourced 3.0-liter straight-six gasoline engine producing 282 hp and 450 Nm of torque.
The cabin is bathed in Vermillion Red
Nappa Leather upholstery, including the new pair of sport seats at the front
and the rear bench. Unlike Mansory who covers everything in bright shades, the
Chelsea Truck Company left the dashboard and the roofliner untouched. The
pictured example based on a 2023 Ineos Grenadier is currently listed for sale
for a cool £ 93,999.99 (US$ 122,123), with 1,127 km on the clock.
According to Chelsea Truck Company, the prototype marks the beginning of “fully
in-house, custom conversion programs” for the Ineos Grenadier, inviting owners
to benefit from its services.
This isn’t Chelsea’s first dance with the
Grenadier, either. A few months back, the British firm unveiled another custom
Grenadier with 35-inch wheels, fender extensions, a unique grille, a snorkel,
and an interior draped in rich brown leather.
