INEOS Grenadier vs Toyota Land Cruiser

Power and Off-Road Hardware

A BMW-built 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six sits under the hood of the INEOS Grenadier, making 282 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque through a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. The Toyota Land Cruiser pairs a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a hybrid system for a combined output of 326 horsepower. Still, that output travels through a unibody platform instead of a separate ladder frame. Solid axles give the INEOS Grenadier stronger wheel articulation on the broken terrain near Fountain, CO, where county roads shift from asphalt to loose base rock within a single mile.

Locking differentials at the center and both axles are available on the INEOS Grenadier, keeping power distributed evenly, the moment only one wheel finds grip. Ground clearance measures 10.4 inches, with a wading depth rated to 800 millimeters. The Tremec-built transfer case delivers precise low-speed control, useful on sustained climbs toward Independence Pass outside Aspen, CO, where grades tighten quickly, and the margin for error shrinks.
