Unveiling the INEOS Grenadier Detour: A New Luxury Touch to a Tough SUV

The INEOS Grenadier Detour is set to add a luxurious spin to the rugged SUV market, marking the debut of INEOS Automotive’s personalization division, Arcane Works. This highly anticipated model will make its grand debut at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, with only 200 units up for grabs.

Exclusive Features and Customization

Exterior Highlights

The Detour’s exterior design is tailored for uniqueness. It boasts distinctive 18-inch wheels and a redesigned grille that sets it apart from other models. Buyers can choose from four exclusive paint colors: Magma Red, Whiteout Blue, Squall Green, and Storm Force Silver. For those looking for a unique touch, one-off color options are available, along with customizable roof rails, skid plates, and other exterior trims.

Luxurious Interior

Stepping inside the Detour, customers will find a variety of bespoke interior trim options. Two satin finishes are available for the transmission tunnel, doors, and air vents. Upholstery options include four premium Bridge of Weir leather choices and two Cashmere headliner selections. The cabin also features laser-etched aluminum door scuff plates, exclusively marking the Detour as a limited-edition model. Additionally, British jeweler Vaughtons provides special badging for these exclusive vehicles.

Performance Mechanics

The Detour retains the robust performance capabilities of its predecessor models. It’s powered by a BMW 3.0-liter inline-six engine, available in both gasoline and diesel variants (note: the diesel variant is not available in the U.S.). The gasoline version is upgraded with a new exhaust system designed to enhance the overall engine sound, offering a richer driving experience.

Arcane Works: INEOS’ Customization Division

Arcane Works, launched earlier this month, allows INEOS to delve deeper into personalization, rivaling other premium, low-volume manufacturers. Customers can expect unique paint options and bespoke interior trims, often seen in luxury automakers. Beyond personalization, Arcane Works will also equip vehicles with non-factory options for specific applications and serve as a testing ground for new features that may be incorporated into regular production models.

INEOS in the Automotive World

INEOS began its automotive journey with the Grenadier SUV just two years ago, and the British chemical giant has swiftly expanded its lineup. Following the Grenadier, INEOS launched the Grenadier-based Quartermaster pickup truck and the Fusilier small SUV, which features an all-electric, extended-range powertrain. Looking ahead, INEOS plans to introduce two additional SUVs and establish a manufacturing presence in the United States.

Conclusion

The INEOS Grenadier Detour combines luxury and ruggedness in a unique package, promising an exclusive driving experience for the lucky 200 owners. With its bespoke features and robust performance, the Detour showcases what’s possible when innovation meets craftsmanship.
