Off-road enthusiasts were up in arms in 2016 when the Land Rover Defender went out of production, even more so when the more upmarket new Defender arrived, and they couldn’t hose out the interior.

But a British billionaire decided that if Land Rover won’t make a rugged, proper 4x4, he would, and so the Ineos Grenadier was born – and yes, it looks a lot like the old Defender!

The influences in the design are apparent, but it takes in the Defender, old Landcruiser and even the Merc G-Wagen in areas – this is a most significant hit of 4x4 heroes. It’s a very upright, boxy shape. Still, everything has a purpose; from the chunky front bumper, which can house a winch, to the bonnet tie-downs, door protection, functional and cool steel wheels, and integrated roof ties, it is a rugged machine designed to go anywhere.

The Grenadier has a pretty wild interior, too, with a design that looks like a helicopter cockpit, with banks of big chunky buttons designed to be used while wearing gloves, a giant screen for your infotainment and even a massive bank of switches on the roof panel. There are roof light panels above the driver and passenger, too, adding to the cabin's airy feel. And yes, farmers can be happy as the floor can be hosed out.

The Grenadier may look old tech, but it’s far from it underneath, with a choice of BMW 3.0 litre turbocharged engines in 246bhp/550Nm diesel or 281bhp/450Nm petrol versions. Same price - you choose!

This is the new 4x4 people have been waiting for, and you could win one this week in the BOTB Dream Car Competition!
