Updates improve everyday usability and enjoyment to broaden appeal
Latest enhancements deliver greater on-road confidence to complement peerless off-road performance
Prices are unchanged for 2026, starting from £51,930 exVAT (Commercial)
New Black Edition increases choice of ready-to-go models, offering high-spec at great value (from £71,995 OTR); order books now open with a limited production window
LONDON, 28 January 2026 – As it enters its third full year of production, INEOS Automotive has significantly enhanced its award-winning 4X4. For the 2026 model year, the company’s engineers have enhanced the everyday usability and enjoyment of the Grenadier station wagon and Quartermaster pick-up, while maintaining their class-leading capabilities, performance and personality.
The most significant change is to the vehicle’s steering setup that results in a positive evolution of its on-road dynamic character. A new steering box features a variable ratio for the first time. A lower ratio around the central steering position results in a tighter, firmer feel to deliver more precision and greater responsiveness. This increases confidence in high-speed straight-line driving, lane changing and overtaking, as well as more assured and purposeful dynamic handling on sweeping A- and B-roads. The ratio at each end of the steering gear remains unchanged, ensuring the Grenadier – in both station wagon and Quartermaster pick-up guises – retains its peerless off-road capability and performance.
Further steering improvements have resulted in a reduction in the turning circle by around five percent. Extending the steering stops means the 2026 vehicle is more manoeuvrable on- and off-road, and easier to use in town and on tight off-road trails.
The 2026 Grenadier also benefits from upgraded climate control components to improve the performance and predictability of heating and cooling within the cabin, making it an even more comfortable place to spend time.
Advanced safety systems (ADAS) have been upgraded where required to meet the latest regulations. A new homescreen shortcut enables one-touch deactivation of the audible alert for the compulsory Intelligent Speed Assist, helping drivers to minimise unwanted distractions.
Lynn Calder, CEO of INEOS Automotive, said: “We’ve continuously enhanced and upgraded the Grenadier since its launch, but this is the most significant improvement so far. And it means the 2026 models are the most rounded and most accomplished yet. It’s easier and more fun to enjoy every day and for every journey (and with a faster way to switch off the annoying ADAS alerts we are forced to fit). And with all that, it’s our best Grenadier yet, with enhanced appeal to an even broader range of customers.”
Black Edition joins the line-up The new Black Edition is a distinctive addition to the Grenadier line-up for 2026, enhancing customers’ choice of pre-configured models and offers high spec at great value.
Based on the well-equipped Fieldmaster trim, the Black Edition is available as both a station wagon and Quartermaster pick-up.
The new member of the family is identifiable by a series of new and exclusive all-black aesthetic body and trim finishes, which complement the sole Inky Black paint option. Gloss black 18-inch alloys, a Dark Exterior Pack (black grille, dark skidplates), privacy glass and lockable spare wheel storage box) complete the look from outside, while and dark interior headlining and carpet flooring set the scene inside.
Prices for the Black Edition start from £71,995 with order books now open. While there is no limit to volume, it will have a limited production window.
For all other 2026 models, pricing is unchanged, starting from £51,930 exVAT for the Grenadier Commercial, £62,495 for the Quartermaster pick-up, £62,495 for the base model Grenadier and £69,995 for the Trialmaster and Fieldmaster editions.
