‘New Land Rover Defender’ Projekt Grenadier from Ineos to get BMW engines

March 18, 2019 By Cars UK

'New Land Rover Defender' Projekt Grenadier from Ineos to get BMW engines

‘New Land Rover Defender’ Projekt Grenadier from Ineos to get BMW engines

The new Projekt Grenadier 4×4 – the mission by Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos to deliver a ‘new’ Land Rover Defender – will get BMW engines.

We may not have had any ‘new Land Rover Defender’ news from Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos Projekt Grenadier for a few months, but things are moving on.

Having made it clear that Ineos are not building a ‘New’ Land Rover Defender, although Jim Ratcliffe describes it as “a spiritual successor to the Defender”, Ineos are now going a route Land Rover did in the past by announcing their new 4×4 will be powered by BMW.

With plans for a variety of body styles and variants for the new 4×4, and a variety of uses around the world too, Ineos need a flexible range of engines to deliver on the 4×4’s promise. And BMW seems a fit.

Ineos say the partnership with BMW will see a range of BMW TwinTurbo petrol and diesel engines on offer, which will deliver “world-class blend of durability, performance and efficiency”.

Dirk Heilmann, Ineos Automotive CEO, said:

This technology partnership is a very significant milestone for Projekt Grenadier – we are delighted BMW Group will supply engines for our new off-roader. Its reputation as a maker of extremely reliable, high performance engines that offer total durability, efficiency and quality is second to none.

Ineos are hoping to build around 25,000 units of their new 4×4 a year, with a reveal next year and on sale in 2021, and the next announcement is likely to be where it’s going to be built.

Could the new Ineos 4×4 join Aston Martin and be built in Wales?
