Ineos is growing its range with the arrival of the Grenadier Quartermaster dual-cab ute in Australia this year priced from $110k.
Ineos has made quite the splash in the off-road SUV market with its Grenadier and now the British newcomer is expanding into the ute segment with another model – the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster. This new arrival is effectively a double-cab ute version of the Grenadier SUV and it’s been revealed for the first time at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The Grenadier Quartermaster will arrive in Australia later this year priced from $110,000 before on-road costs in the base specification.
The Quartermaster’s tough ladder-frame chassis is extended by 305mm compared to the Grenadier’s, allowing it to accommodate a large, open load area to the rear. The space is 1564mm long and 1619mm wide, big enough to take a standard Europallet with room to spare. It has a payload capacity of 832kg for the diesel and 907kg for the petrol.
Like the Grenadier, the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster is loaded with features designed to add utility. The load bed has a 1280mm wide tailgate that can support up to 225kg and there are tie-down points inside with utility rails for securing loads available as an option. There’s also a 400W power supply for running electrical equipment.
Power in the Grenadier Quartermaster comes from the same BMW-sourced three-litre straight-six engines as in the Grenadier. There’s a choice of petrol and diesel units with power outputs of 210kW/450Nm and 183kW/550Nm respectively. The 0-100km/h sprint takes 8.8 seconds in the petrol with the diesel a second slower, while both can hit a 160km/h top speed.
In all cases, drive is sent through a ZF automatic transmission to a 4×4 system incorporating low-range gearing and a centre locking differential – with front and rear locking diffs on the options list. Off-road ability is an integral part of the Ineos offering and the Grenadier Quartermaster has some impressive numbers, namely 265mm of ground clearance and an 800mm maximum wading depth.
The trim level range also matches the Grenadier’s so buyers can choose Fieldmaster and Trailmaster models with a wide variety of options and option packs allowing for a high level of personalisation in the specification of individual cars. It will certainly be easy to bump your Grenadier Quartermaster up above the $110k entry price and order books are open now so you can make a start.
