A 4×4 to overtake Land Rover
The main competition of the INEOS Grenadier is its British rival, Land Rover. The two brands are now competing in the off-road and rugged 4×4 vehicle sector.
Whether it was a publicity stunt or genuine interest, James Cowan, a retired British major-general, was quoted as saying, “For decades Land Rovers have served us and the British Army well, but our fleet needs to be replaced.”
