Thanks for the video. I was able to test drive a preproduction vehicle today, but I was not able to get into the infotainment menus due to time. So this was very informative for me. The preproduction vehicles are a little buggy too. But wow. I could not believe how well it drove off road, and it was muddy too. I am very impressed----and I have owned Jeeps (Wranglers) for over 25 years. And even though they were preproduction, the interior is much nicer than I anticipated. So I was very pleased and looking forward to the U.S pricing to come out. Anyway, thanks for the videos and I hope you keep doing them.
driving an early production car, I must say that I expected those bugs. and they are acceptable. not a single one has any influence on my ability to drive. and I am confident they will be fixed...definitely by the time they are on the US market! the most important thing: the "hardware" is working perfect!! love the driving...on and off-road.
Thanks so much for sharing all the info so far! Would you be able to do a video showing night driving/high/low beams performance? I'd also be very interest in your thoughts on towing and trailer visibility/backing up etc with the side view mirrors and what not. Keep up the awesome videos these have been incredibly useful!
Thanks for posting such detailed videos. Really appreciate it as we wait for our Grenadier orders to come through. Looks like there isn’t a Trip 1, Trip 2 option with the Odometer. A couple of observations 1. I like that it shows how many amps going in for charging and looks like there is a discharging amps count as well in the right hand side 2. I love that they show tranny temp and tire temp. It’s a shame they didn’t add the spare wheel stats as well. Maybe temp doesn’t matter but pressure would be nice to have 3. The Ctek charging unit looks to be a quality unit. Can you please post the model number here? I want to see if we can swap the spare battery to lithium and if the Ctek will support automatic charging profiles
there is a trip 1 and 2 function. i missed showing that. 1. yes... 2. this screen is really nice to check on your car and also figure out if a low pressure warning is legit. going from sea level up to the mountains, having warm tires on the motorway etc.... 3. it's a CTEK 120S
Thanks for a great deep dive on what I sure a lot of people have been curious about. I am wondering about the stereo specs and if I would want a pre amp or upgraded speakers,
Thanks for the video, have a question. Are you able to change the capacity of the battery within the electrical section of the infotainment system? And does how does it register your auxiliary battery?
Excellent review! Sorry to see they don’t have satellite radio (Sirius XM), but I kind of suspected as much since I don’t see the typical shark fin antenna anywhere.
very comprehensive and useful. Many thanks for taking the time and sharing it. So, some questions regarding the second battery; 1) does the power switch (upper panel) have to be on for it to charge or just to power the outlets you mention? 1b) so the 12v and Rear USB sockets are not powered all the time? 2) The electrical screen only has stats for the main battery? thx once more
the battery is charged automatically...regardless of the switch position. That switch is only there to power the mentioned outlets when the car is off. 1b)always powered when the car runs. when the car is off you need to switch the aux battery on. 2) now that you mention it...i assume so
Great video … as you have already experience with the car and probably considered other off road options before buying one. In your decision why Grenadier over eg. Landcruiser (Prado) what were the key arguments. Many thanks and keep up with the videos … super informative
my original plan was to get an old defender and add everything i need for overlanding. so i like the look of that car and it being kind of basic. new prados, cruisers, defenders are too "normal" for me. when i heard about the grenadier project, who was developing it and the components they used....i was basically sold. i want to use the car as an every day vehicle as well and that's not that easy with an old defender...plus they got quite expensive as well. sure, the grenadier is not cheap but it's a new design, well built (as far as i can tell now) and comfortable. I think that's my decision-process in short ;-)))
@@grenadier_exploring thanks for your view and wish you many hundred of thousand happy km full of adventures … this car really seem to invite for creation of fantastic off-road memories. All the best.
Did you order the upgraded audio system? The configurator for the USA makes you choose between the upgraded audio system and the second battery. If you have the standard audio system, how does the music etc. sound?
oh, I didn't have that option. mine is standard and it is ok. according to the manual 4x25Watt RMS. I had a little demo on the video but I had to remove it for copyright reasons 🙄. I will add another little section to my 10.000km review at the end of the week.
17:29 Offroad it will be, on road it might not ;-) If you have a trucker close who's using a GNSS jammer to hide his position from his company, it could be "less accurate" to put it diplomatically. (A few weeks ago i encountered one who's jammer was so wide in it's bandwith that it even jammed the bluetooth connection between my phone and the company car.)
Any ideas how to adjust the tire pressure monitoring system I have reset mine and it still says low and error. Also what do you do when you lower them for off-road driving. Thanks for your video really helpful.
you can't change the warning levels. but if you confirm the low pressure it stops showing the error/warning. the numbers still stay in amber to remind you of a non-standard pressure. So if I lower the pressure, I just confirm it and it's fine. same when I air up again...confirm, drive a few kms and the warning is gone.
Amazing information. How large is that second spare battery? It looks HUGE. Secondly is there no means to enlarge the size of the Apple CarPlay screen?
not yet! in morocco my co-driver said it's a bit colder in the back. but we didn't play much with the different settings there! so far i only sat in the front 🤪...but i will pay attention to that
Great Video. Question. Does the Auto/Start/Stop feature turn off and stay off after you shut off the truck and walk away? Can you permanently shut off that feature?
what's your opinion on the plastic covers for the roof power outlets, they look flimsy and not very secure. I'm not sure they'd be durable long term, I can see the wind dislodging them and maybe flapping them about.
haven't happened yet. they seem to be ok. if you don´t have the correct technique, they are quite hard to open. maybe if you open and close them very often, that might change. i will keep an eye on that and report
Great review, and took some notes to keep in the car. Have you managed to find a way of increasing the internal Mic volume. Anyone I call can hardly hear me, yet they are coming through loud and clear.
hello! thx a lot.

His name is Thor and he is a husky.

CTEK offers a matching solar power management! i will talk about that once I have it. The manuals come as PDFs…so not so thick ;-) the pathfinder - which is the installed navigation system is basic. only tracks your route or you can follow a stored/uploaded path. but with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto you can use your favourite system on the screen and that works really well!!

Thank you Ingemar. I plan on picking up my grenadier in two weeks. Very excited. When I do I’ll ask them about it. If there is a trick or software update that can permanently shut it off I will let you know.
thanks for the walkthrough mate, very informative. Is yours the Petrol or Diesel version? Saw the 545km for a full tank so am a little curious! :D I've ordered the petrol version at this stage btw.
as mark already mentioned, it's the diesel. it states >545.(more than 545). this number always depends on previous consumption before refuelling (was on motorway and off-roading). if you drive then with a lower consumption than before, it will stay there quite long and then start reducing. does that make sense?
i forgot to show that but it's on my list for one of the next vids. it's not huge but I like that you see the tow ball in the camera!! the camera/screen itself is quite basic
Can you gain access to the area under the centre cubby box? Originally I thought Ineos were going to offer an inverter, located in this area. Would it be possible to install one in this location? Thanks again.
Can I ask you, is the rear door inside handle made from plastic, I saw that in another video, I felt a little disappointed as surely a strong metal handle would be far better for the day to day use ?
@@grenadier_exploring well they will either realise that plastic will not be up to years of use and possibly change it to metal at some point or the aftermarket will just produce one that most people will acquire when theirs becomes brittle and eventually breaks
Is the NATO socket at the rear of the Grenadier connected to the 500A (EXT4) overhead switch? If so I assume the wires used to supply the rear NATO socket would be very thick to handle 500A. Anyone know what gauge wire it would be (0AWG/B&S)?
@@grenadier_exploring Thanks for the response. I thought the NATO plug was outputting much higher than 40A. Trying to work out what wire sizes to use for camper trailer to connect power from the NATO.
yes, you can do that! you can download your track as an GPX-file and then display it on Google Maps (for example). and it workes vice-versa as well. plan your route and convert it to a GPX-file and then transfer it to the car. i am going to make a video about that these days...
don't know how to calibrate it. guess it's fed by GPS. not sure how the Grenadier's system works exactly but there's models were the reference sphere of the GPS is not exactly on the earth's surface since it's not a perfect sphere. that's the only explanation i have right now...but that's just a guess
Hi Ingemar, guess your car already saw some software updates and even more will come in the future. Could you please give us some info about how this works? Cheers mate
not yet!! but I saw that the nuisance warning messages get less and less - hardly any now. Am confident that the next update (probably during my service) will fix all of that
@@grenadier_exploring thanks for the info. Great videos by the way and thanks for all the work. So there is no update over the air Option for some parts of the system?
Hi is there a option to get the speedo in-front of the steering wheel? Like on most vehicles, I had to drive a car with the speedo in the middle of the dash like on yours and after four years of driving it I was so glad to not have to anymore, I was over having to look sideways.
Worth noting the speed display is above dash level. I think you’ll find its actually less movement for the eye than even most speedometers where you look through the steering wheel.
@@LocoCoyote specific warnings depending on the day - all obviously nonsense Met the designer yday next to my office - message was to be prepared for errors until the software flash
no. well...you can still continue once your ad blue tank is empty but when you shut down, you can't start the engine again (until you fill up the ad blue).
Anyone know the city/highway mileage for a gas version? No meaningful information here in the USA. Published values are 15/15 mpg which sounds ridiculous for a modern engine.
Hallo Viktoria! Ich habe mir anfangs viele Gedanken über die Sprache gemacht mich dann aber für Englisch entschieden weil es doch fast alle verstehen. Wenn es die Zeit zulässt kann ich mir aber gut vorstellen das eine oder andere Video in deutsch zu machen. Hab mir die Untertitelfunktion von UA-cam angesehen...die übersetzt recht gut. Ich behalte Deinen Vorschlag aber im Kopf 😉
bin sehr zufrieden mit dem inky black. ich hab zuerst auch donny grey konfiguriert und mich dann für schwarz entschieden weil ich schwarz liebe. die schauen aber in der Realität sehr ähnlich aus.
Very useful video. Thank you!

Are you able to change the capacity of the battery within the electrical section of the infotainment system? And does how does it register your auxiliary battery?
no. you can't change anything there. it's all automatic. except switching it on when the car is off
I love the pre-wired exterior power sockets, however, do they obstruct the use of the tie-down points on the roof?
you can still run a strap behind them....shouldn't be an issue

Does it have cameras?
yes, one rearview camera
Hi Ingemar, guess your car already saw some software updates and even more will come in the future. Could you please give us some info about how this works? Cheers mate
not yet!! but I saw that the nuisance warning messages get less and less - hardly any now. Am confident that the next update (probably during my service) will fix all of that
@@grenadier_exploring thanks for the info. Great videos by the way and thanks for all the work. So there is no update over the air Option for some parts of the system?
no. as far as I know it will be "old school" plugging in cables ;-)
@@grenadier_exploring thanks 👍🏼 one more question, are all the fuse boxes underneath the rear seat or is there one in the dashboard as well
One under the hood, one in the "cockpit" and one under the rear seat
Hi is there a option to get the speedo in-front of the steering wheel?
Like on most vehicles, I had to drive a car with the speedo in the middle of the dash like on yours and after four years of driving it I was so glad to not have to anymore, I was over having to look sideways.
No, need to add a HUD
Worth noting the speed display is above dash level. I think you’ll find its actually less movement for the eye than even most speedometers where you look through the steering wheel.
Love my grenadier AND it’s interior but…it needs a software flash to stop all the error codes
what error codes are you seeing?
do you get many? Mine is really fine. "telltale speaker" in 1 out of 10 drives...that´s pretty much it
@@grenadier_exploring
Depends on the day - this am it was just the seat belts in unoccupied seats showing warning, power steering warning yday etc etc
@@LocoCoyote specific warnings depending on the day - all obviously nonsense
Met the designer yday next to my office - message was to be prepared for errors until the software flash
Got to admit kinda jealous really want to see how the American version is
hopefully very soon!!!
Can you drive it without ad blue?
no. well...you can still continue once your ad blue tank is empty but when you shut down, you can't start the engine again (until you fill up the ad blue).
@@grenadier_exploring that's crazy. Thanks for the reply
Anyone know the city/highway mileage for a gas version? No meaningful information here in the USA. Published values are 15/15 mpg which sounds ridiculous for a modern engine.
I am getting 22 local driving plus highway.
took me a second to work out what the "viper operation was"
🤣
Danke für das Video. Werden die Videos in deutscher Sprache geben? In Englisch gibt es die ganze Menge im Internet. Es wäre cool. 😊
Hallo Viktoria! Ich habe mir anfangs viele Gedanken über die Sprache gemacht mich dann aber für Englisch entschieden weil es doch fast alle verstehen. Wenn es die Zeit zulässt kann ich mir aber gut vorstellen das eine oder andere Video in deutsch zu machen. Hab mir die Untertitelfunktion von UA-cam angesehen...die übersetzt recht gut.
Ich behalte Deinen Vorschlag aber im Kopf 😉
@@grenadier_exploring Danke für die Antwort. Ich wäre froh zumindest die deutsche Erklärung von dem Offroad-Modus. Vielleicht irgendwann. 🤗
das kann ich bestimmt machen!!
@@grenadier_exploring Mega, vielen Dank!
Bist Du mit der Farbe zufrieden? Ich schwanke zwischen Schwarz und grau ☺️.
bin sehr zufrieden mit dem inky black. ich hab zuerst auch donny grey konfiguriert und mich dann für schwarz entschieden weil ich schwarz liebe. die schauen aber in der Realität sehr ähnlich aus.
You being a pilot all those buttons and controls are probably simple to use, but for us low level beings it's to much to work with!
🤪🤣...but it's fun flipping all those switches...like in the cockpit 🤪
real world fuel economy please
coming in my 10.000km review in detail for different speed/operation). currently I run at ~12l/100km with a relatively high share on motorways
Great video, shame it's a fruit based phone 😅
🤣🤣..i am sorry!
