SMG INEOS Grenadier held a Demo Day on Saturday 22nd of April and invited guests to experience the vehicles’ go-anywhere, over-anything capabilities firsthand.

The event took place at the Clifton Canyon 4×4 Centre, which served as the perfect location to put the SMG Grenadier to the test. The 4×4 track features everything from steep inclines to slippery mud pits and multitudes of technical manoeuvres in between.

The SMG Grenadier has been tried and tested on the world’s toughest terrains and tackled the Clifton Canyon with ease. The experience was an excellent display of its capabilities and gave prospective buyers the confidence to get behind the wheel and off the beaten track.

The Grenadier was designed and built by some of the most prominent industry names. It boasts a BMW engine, a ZF transmission, and a ladder-frame chassis, all of which combine to create a highly capable vehicle. With permanent four-wheel drive and coil-sprung suspension, the Grenadier offers a well-balanced ride that is both rugged and reliable, making it hard to damage and easy to fix.

Whether used for adrenaline-fueled adventures on unforgiving terrain or weekends off the beaten track, all kinds of drivers can get behind the wheel of the purpose-built Grenadier and take on anything in front of them with confidence.

Over a few balmy days in January, future SMG Grenadier owners got to experience the vehicle up close and personal at the Clifton Canyon 4×4 Centre in Hillcrest. Over 3 days, invited guests and customers already on the order list were given the opportunity to see the true capability of this purpose-built 4×4.

Under the expert tuition of Travis Duggan, drivers covered every obstacle of the 4×4 course with ease, with the technical sections of this course designed to take driver and vehicle to the very limits of their abilities. The fact that the Grenadier took these obstacles in its stride is testament to the millions of miles of testing that INEOS put the Grenadier through, taking it to the most extreme places in the world.

One of the most encouraging customer comments from the day was the fact that the Grenadier made even the most inexperienced 4×4 driver, more capable and more confident than ever before. So while the Grenadier is the perfect expedition vehicle, it also has a place for the weekend off-road enthusiasts

With deliveries on the horizon and the order book filling up fast, the excitement around the Grenadier is palpable. To experience the Grenadier for yourself, please join our mailing list by contacting grenadier@smg.co.za

Now in its third year, the NAMPO Cape Exhibition recently took place in Bredasdorp Park in the Western Cape. As the province’s premier agricultural and trade show, NAMPO was the ideal platform for SMG to introduce the INEOS Grenadier to more than 20 000 spectators over 4 days.

Featuring more than 500 exhibitors from the world’s premier agricultural machinery brands, NAMPO attracts farmers and organisations who are looking to embrace the latest in technology and innovation. As one of the newest brands in the SMG stable, Grenadier attracted a substantial amount of interest, thanks to it’s purpose-built exterior, and it’s no-nonsense approach to rugged capability.

Many spectators were impressed by the muscular stance of the vehicle, with a few mentioning the hard wearing, tactile interior, which is perfect for tough farm life and other 4 x 4 applications.“Grenadier is a special product for SMG as it represents the Group’s move to becoming a mobility brand, providing vehicle solutions for every type of buyer,” said SMG Marketing Manager Warren Mockler.

For SMG, the reception that Grenadier received from a very discerning and hard to please audience was testament to the quality and innovation of this vehicle, and we can’t wait to see it on every farm road from Bredasdorp to Bergville.

The INEOS Grenadier
2B tour

The INEOS Grenadier tackled its toughest test yet on the South Africa leg of the 2B Prototype Tour, which kicked off in January 2022 in Cape Town, then moved to the sugar cane fields of Ballito on the Kwazulu Natal North Coast a week later.

The 2B Tour was a rare opportunity for SMG Grenadier customers to be involved in the testing stage of a vehicle’s development, with customer interactions and comments given directly to the technical team. This was after a test drive on the challenging track through terrain not really intended for normal driving.

Developed as a no-nonsense 4×4, the INEOS Grenadier showed customers what is possible when you start with a vision to create the most capable, “built on purpose” vehicle in the world, where every stitch and every surface is built to get the job done.

With the 2B Tour moving to the next leg and gradually heading across the globe, there are still a lot more miles to cover, and testing to do, and judging by the feedback from customers, Grenadier is certainly on the right track.
