2026 INEOS Grenadier Review

TL;DR

The 2026 INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster pickup improves on its predecessor with fixed steering, a BMW B58 engine, and triple locking differentials.

Key Points

• 1.The 2026 model significantly fixes the controversial steering issue. A new variable ratio recirculating ball steering box with a different ratio for the first 22 degrees of travel makes on-road handling no longer a dealbreaker, while preserving off-road capability.
• 2.Power comes from a BMW B58 turbocharged 3.0L inline-six. It produces 282 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, paired with a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission and a BMW-style rotary shifter.
• 3.INEOS addressed the annoying speed-limit beeping from the previous model. North American vehicles can now permanently disable the speed warning with one button, though the driver monitoring/drowsiness detection still resets every start.
• 4.The Quartermaster is a serious off-road truck with ladder frame chassis. It features triple locking differentials (center, front, and rear), skid plates, high/low range, and a wading mode that disables the radiator fan for water crossings.
• 5.The interior prioritizes physical controls over screens. Hard buttons, switches, knobs, dual sunroofs, Recaro manually adjustable seats, wireless CarPlay, and no 360 camera — reviewers love the old-school cockpit feel despite no heated steering wheel.
• 6.The tested Canadian-spec unit is priced at $119,374.75 CAD (starting at $18,645 CAD). Reviewers call it a 'budget G-Wagon' and prefer the station wagon body style, but highly recommend the truck for its character and INEOS's rapid response to customer feedback.
