INEOS Automotive has nominated the partners that will operate the first 24 retail sites in the UK. These are among the first 160 locations to be confirmed in markets around the world.

INEOS plans to have 200 Grenadier sales and service sites spanning over 50 countries by the end of 2022. These will include established dealer groups, 4X4 specialists and agricultural equipment dealers.

The aim is that most UK customers will be within 45 minutes of an official sales and service location. The retail partners will form the backbone of the service network in the country. Additional geographical coverage will be provided by ten selected partners and hand-picked INEOS-accredited Bosch Car Service outlets. All servicing centres in Scotland will eventually support sales and test drive activity, including sites confirmed for Stirling, Kilmarnock and Inverness.

INEOS is working with retailers to set up their outlets to be ready to welcome customers in the next few months. That process includes an intensive INEOS training programme for the sales agents and workshop technicians. The first of the newly nominated sites will open in June.

“We have worked tirelessly for over a year to find retail partners in the UK that share our enthusiasm and excitement for the Grenadier,” said Gary Pearson, Head of UK and MENA for INEOS Automotive. “They understand 4X4 users and their requirements, and have a proven track record for exceptional customer service. Together with these partners, we look forward to providing Grenadier customers with the advice, guidance and support they need.”

Technical specifications and pricing for the INEOS Grenadier in the UK will be confirmed by the end of April, with order books opening in May.
