The INEOS Grenadier Black Edition Station Wagon (5dr Auto) is a premium, fixed-specification version of the rugged 4x4, designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty off-road capability and sophisticated urban appeal. Built on the design-and-comfort-focused Fieldmaster platform, this model simplifies the purchasing process by offering a pre-configured, high-specification package with a distinct "black-on-black" aesthetic.
Key Specifications & Mechanicals: The Black Edition retains the peerless mechanical foundation of the Grenadier line-up:Engine Options: Sourced from BMW, buyers can choose between a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine (282 bhp / 450 Nm) or a 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine (249 bhp / 550 Nm).Transmission: 8-speed automatic gearbox paired with permanent four-wheel drive.Practicality: 5-seat layout with an expansive 1,152-litre boot capacity.Focus: As a Fieldmaster-based vehicle, it focuses on premium road presence and daily usability. It utilizes street-ready Bridgestone Dueler all-terrain tyres and does not feature the aggressive front and rear locking differentials found on the Trialmaster edition.
Black Edition Exclusive Features:The package bundles several unique aesthetic and functional upgrades:Exterior Styling: Finished strictly in Inky Black paint, paired with a black front grille, darkened front/rear skid plates, and unique 'Black Edition' A-pillar badging. Wheels & Glass: Exclusive 18-inch gloss-black alloy wheels and rear heat-reflective privacy glass.Storage: Includes a lockable storage box integrated into the rear spare wheel cover.Premium Interior: Standard plush carpet flooring replaces the usual hosed-down rubberized plastic (vastly improving soundproofing and road refinement), complemented by a dark interior headlining.
Core 2026 Model Year Updates:Because the Black Edition is built on the updated 2026 mid-life facelift architecture, it automatically receives significant factory enhancements over earlier model years:Sharper Handling: An overhauled steering box design eliminates the "dead-centre play" of older models, delivering a tighter feel at high speeds and reducing the turning circle by roughly 5% (around 5 feet).Upgraded Cabin Comfort: A revised HVAC system features an improved stepper motor for much more predictable, robust heating and cooling airflow.Smarter Safety (ADAS): Updated lane assist, a driver monitoring system, and an enhanced autonomous emergency braking system with pedestrian detection.Quality of Life: A new infotainment home screen shortcut allows for one-touch deactivation of the mandatory Intelligent Speed Assist audible alerts, meaning it can remain off between drive cycles.
Buying & ProductionThough INEOS has explicitly stated there is no strict cap on the total volume built, the Black Edition is only being sold within a limited production window.
