Anderzander Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 We don’t know yet - announcements about service and warranty soon. We know they are not going for a conventional dealer network / they have said they are making all factory info open source and will honour warranties serviced at independent garages. Beyond that I don’t think we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy996 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The formal announcement should be shortly, (there were mutterings at the 2B Prototype tour of within the month), but nothing in stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Yes. But prices for FR are still unknown. US from about $ 80k Hmm.... What happened to the 40k I wonder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Saw a thing on INEOS Instagram this morning, saying prices will start at GBP 48,000 & EUR 56,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy996 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Remember the GBP figure includes UK VAT, so £40,000 + VAT for the 2 seat commercial. The press release I put up on the other thread goes into some official detail for service and sales. "INEOS Automotive is striking agreements with retail and aftersales partners around the world to establish up to 200 sales and service points for the July 2022 launch of the Grenadier 4X4. These partners will implement a first-class global aftersales blueprint developed by INEOS together with Robert Bosch GmbH over the last three years. Retail partners will form the backbone of the service network, with additional geographical coverage provided by handpicked Bosch Car Service outlets. The comprehensive service network means most customers will never be further than 50km away from an INEOS-accredited workshop." "Where spare parts are not on the shelf, INEOS is targeting delivery to major markets within 24 hours." "Deliveries of the Grenadier will begin in July 2022. UK In the UK, INEOS plans to have 23 retail sites in operation ahead of launch, supplemented by Bosch aftersales outlets as required. Formal agreements already signed with: • Cambria Automobiles • Compass Tractors: Bridgwater, Somerset • JT Hughes: Telford Further agreements will be confirmed in due course. Prices in UK are expected to start from approx. £48,000 (RRP)." Edited October 1, 2021 by jeremy996 adding more stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Interesting, I saw a YT video about how they are targeting retail/machinery outlets rather than have any showrooms at all, seems like that is definitely the case. You'll be able to pop down to Mole Valley Farmers and order your Grenadier, nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 That's very smart, actually. That's how farmers buy tractors; whatever the local dealer has, sells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I was thinking about the tractor thing - compared to the Japanese pick ups these seems expensive, but perhaps that’s an unfair comparison ? If they are more capable, durable, and all around more tool like .. and when you look at tools that farmers buy - none of them are cheap. Look at the price of tractors … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 All the farmers around these parts use pickups [not just Japanese] either with canopies or without and seem to manage very well. The last agricultural Defender around here went a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think of a couple of farms round these parts (that aren't just contracted) that don't have a defender (or at least a D2). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hweebe Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 In Australia, Ineos has landed a partnership with Bosch Service Centres (Established network) to service the Grenadier. How this works in practise is yet to be seen because as far as I'm aware Bosch don't have Automotive workshops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are lucky you get a brake light intermittently working. Lot of smaller farms round here, may have a bearing on things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
