Jeremy Clarkson ought to be a model customer for the Ineos Grenadier. And he’s not big fan of modern tech and driver assists, so the retro looks and back-to-basics engineering of the Grenadier should appeal. And that’s a problem, according to Clarkson, because these types of buyers are used to sophisticated, high end luxury SUVs such as the Range Rover. By contrast, with its traditional box-section ladder-frame chassis, recirculating ball steering and heavy-duty solid beam axles, Clarkson calls the Grenadier “a hammer”. Ineos told the paper that the glitches in Clarkson’s test car have been fixed on the production models.
