Although the INEOS Grenadier has only been around for a few years, it’s already made a tremendous impact on the auto industry. Designed as an incredible off-road vehicle and inspired by the Land Rover Defender at the height of its popularity, the INEOS Grenadier is the perfect choice if you want something that is aggressively rugged and capable while still gorgeously sophisticated. That’s a combination you won’t find just about anywhere else. While we’re pleased to offer new models, we’re also your used INEOS dealer, here to help you find the perfect pre-owned Grenadier. To make shopping easier, here’s a quick guide to a handful of things to keep in mind as you look for a used INEOS Grenadier.
Know Your Grenadier Models
INEOS has developed two Grenadier models with significant differences, so knowing what each offers is the perfect place to start. The Grenadier Station Wagon is an off-road SUV. This is far removed from the station wagons many of us grew up riding in, so don’t let the name fool you. This is a powerful and impressive beast designed to comfortably fit five passengers, with robust capabilities ready to tear up any trail you put in front of it.
If you’re looking for something a bit different, then the Grenadier Quartermaster is an off-road truck with similar capabilities and reliability. This is a midsize pickup, much like the Jeep Gladiator, but it delivers both big trail performance and gorgeous features inside and out. We’ll see in a moment that different trim levels are available for these two models, but the place to start is by knowing which vehicle you’re looking for. If you want an off-road SUV, go with the INEOS Grenadier Station Wagon. For an off-road pickup, check out the Grenadier Quartermaster and everything it offers.
Know the Grenadier Trim Levels
No matter which model is right for you, you’ll want to narrow your choice down further. INEOS offers several trims (editions) for these two vehicles. They use the same names for each, so they’re easy to remember and keep track of. First, the standard base trims offer great features. Every Station Wagon and Grenadier comes with a BMW 3.0L I-6 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Permanent four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, a center differential lock, and front and rear skid plates are also standard equipment, making every model an excellent choice for off-road adventures. The Fieldmaster is the way to go if comfort and sophistication are most important to you, as it offers premium interior details and features such as heated front seats, Safari windows, and leather seating in different colors.
If you want something built for some serious off-roading, then the Trialmaster is the way to go. It includes front and rear differential locks, raised air intakes to help stay clear on dusty trails and when splashing through water, and heavy-duty utility features. Finally, if you’re looking for the ultimate expression of what INEOS offers in the Grenadier, look for a Black Edition model, with Inky black exterior paint, exclusive exterior badging, black leather interior trim, and more. Each of these models represents something truly remarkable, but their differences are worth keeping in mind as you shop.
Pay Special Attention to Pre-Owned Condition
It’s important to look carefully at the condition of any used vehicle that you’re interested in to make sure it hasn’t been abused or mistreated. This includes checking its service records, obtaining a vehicle history report, and visually inspecting its condition to the best of your ability. With an off-road vehicle like the Grenadier, however, this is doubly important since there’s a good chance someone drove it in some pretty rough conditions. You can’t know for sure if someone took a Grenadier model off-road, but since it’s built to conquer some challenging trails, there’s a good chance of it. That’s why it’s such a good idea to shop at a dealership that you know you can trust, with vehicles in terrific condition and plenty of information to look at before you buy.
Look at Accessories and Customization
Although we love pretty much everything about the INEOS Grenadier, one of our favorite details is how well INEOS supports it with accessories and customization options. Someone interested in a new Grenadier can explore a wide selection of add-ons and accessories to make their vehicle perfectly suited to their needs. This includes features such as a fold-out tailgate table for the Grenadier Quartermaster, crossbars and roof racks for added roof storage, seat covers inside, and much more. Keep this in mind as you’re looking at used Grenadiers and check for any such accessories.
You will want to make sure these kinds of accessories were installed properly, ideally by a dealership like ours. As long as that’s the case, these extra add-ons give you even more great features to enjoy, which makes them something well worth looking for as you consider different used models. What’s more, you can always explore the incredible selection of accessories that INEOS offers to customize a used Grenadier and really make it your own after you buy it. Whether you want side steps to make getting in and out easier or a side awning to enhance your next off-road camping adventure, we can help you find it.
Shop at a Dealership You Can Trust
When you’re shopping for any used vehicle, it’s important that you stick to dealerships you know you can trust to make sure you get a good deal and a truck or SUV in great shape. Going with a private seller can be tempting because you might find a lower price, but it also exposes you to a wide range of scams and other issues. Since the Grenadier is a high-end vehicle, it’s even more tempting for criminals to exploit it to prey on potential buyers.
A great dealership will put your needs first, help you explore different used models and options, and make sure you are completely happy long after you drive away. That’s not something a private seller, even a legitimate one, ultimately cares about. Here at Hendrick INEOS Grenadier of Charleston, we work hard to ensure all of our pre-owned vehicles are in great shape, but especially our used Grenadiers. You can check out our inventory and know that anything you drive away in will treat you well for many years to come.
Find the Used INEOS Grenadier You Deserve
No matter what you’re looking for in your next vehicle, we want to make sure you find it and get something that you’ll love driving for a long time. The INEOS Grenadier is one of the most exciting vehicles in the auto industry today, which is why we love offering these SUVs and trucks to our customers. Going with a used model can make the Grenadier more accessible, but it’s important that you take some time to make sure you get one that’s right for you. Just remember that these vehicles are in high demand, so when you see a pre-owned Grenadier that you like the looks of, don’t hesitate to act on it. That way, you can hit the trail sooner and start having adventures that you’ll never forget.
