I had the 58 kW and now I have the 77 kW, fantastic cars, lovely to drive, excellent range, on average 18 kWh per 100 km, without ever driving to save energy (on the motorway I keep around 130 km/h), great stability on rough surfaces or in snow. I suffer a lot from back pain and I feel very comfortable in the Born.

Ineos Grenadier Geländewagen

The Ineos Grenadier is a proper, no-nonsense Geländewagen that looks and behaves like it was designed by people who prefer utility over fashion, ready to tackle mud, gravel and the odd awkward parking spot with equal confidence. It swaps showroom polish for rugged honesty and practical thinking, appealing to buyers who want a modern Defender alternative that feels more workhorse than luxury toy.
