    Was great to hear Stephanie share her experience with the Grenadier. I would assume she is a normal, non Grenadier fan, so to hear that she has enjoyed the vehicle and maybe become a fan, is great!
    Thor and now Stephanie... Like I said, your days are numbered Ingemar! 😉
    Looking forward to your 10k review.

    Hello Ingomar,
    thanks for your videos in general and this one in particular! A nice idea to describe the impressions of your girlfriend regarding the Grenadier.
    I think that with this car for guys there is quite a reluctance in one or the other partner regarding the vehicle, so at least with my wife, who in the 14 days that I am now allowed to drive my Grenny, has not yet driven even once...
    I am confident that the predominantly positive descriptions contribute to the fact that she will soon make up for it... 😁😉

    • @grenadier_exploring
      @grenadier_exploring  Рік тому +1

    Meine Frau war zuerst nicht begeistert. Aber jetzt ist sie ein grosser Fan. Sie ist 1.60 gross. "Side Steps" waren unbedingt nötig.

    Great conversation! I was so looking forward to buying this and finally got to have a look at it at the recent Brisbane (Australia) 4x4 Show. I'm glad I waited. Although it was mostly spot on, the cabin felt restrictive (overall space). I could have forgiven this but unfortunately, the seats were so cramped my thighs were spilling over the seat side bolsters and I realised that it would become painful after a couple of hundred km's. I'm not a small human though! I'm 5'11" and 105 kgs, so I guess I'm not the demographic for the seats... I checked out possibly overcoming even this but the sheelman seats are like $6k so I just couldn't justify it.
    I was gutted by the above, I've been holding off buying anything else since the announcement a few years ago.

    Could you please tell me the dimensions of your dog crate? And how big/heavy is your dog? Also, is your dog able to climb onto the rear footwell on his own?

    • @grenadier_exploring
      @grenadier_exploring  Рік тому +1

      it's 68cm wide - 66cm high - 93.5cm deep (26.8x26x36.8inches).
      he gets in there without the ramp (cargo and rear seats) but at the rear footwell he slipped sometimes when he was tired after a run. getting in there is a bit tricky...

    How easy do you find parking in towns and cities, as it is a large vehicle?

    • @grenadier_exploring
      @grenadier_exploring  Рік тому +1

      similar to an X5, Defender, Discovery....it's not really larger (4,89m/16ft) than those cars. Of course in a city like Vienna you have to pass 2 or 3 spots until you find a suitable one. Most garages have a limit of 2,1m so you fit just in at 2,05m.

      90km/h at 82dB
      100km/h at 85dB

    My I enquire where you are from? I am guessing 'Loki' is the clue. So Norway or close by.
    I ask because coming from the subtropics of Australia certain things, such as heated seats, that might be important to you, are of no interest at all to me. In fact quite the opposite.
    I live on 100 plus acres, down gravel & mud roads with creek crossings. So 4x4 capabilities is highly important to us.
    One concern I have with the Ineos, is regarding servicing. I certainly don't want to travelling vast distances to have it serviced or repaired. Hopefully Inoes is onto this.

    • @grenadier_exploring
      @grenadier_exploring  Рік тому +1

      it's Austrian, living the Alps. Yes, heated seats make no sense for you 😜.
      I hope they can built a strong network for servicing. so far they are using Bosch servicing points if there's no specific Ineos dealer around...
