Ineos is inching closer to the launch of the Grenadier, a rugged SUV that will be available as an N1 van or extended pickup truck, and has now finalised its UK dealer network.
It’s expected that Ineos will have around 200 sales and service sites around the globe by the end of 2022, with 24 retail sites planned for the UK. These will include established dealer groups, 4×4 specialists and agricultural equipment dealers.
Ineos is working with retailers to set up their outlets and be ready to welcome Grenadier customers in the next few months. That process includes an intensive training programme for the staff, including sales agents and workshop technicians.
Careful planning means that few customers will be further than 45 minutes travel away from a sales and service location, with retail partners forming the backbone of the service network. Additional geographical coverage will be provided by ten selected partners and hand-picked 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.
“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 4×4 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.”
The first of the new sites will open in June. An interactive dealer map can be found on the Ineos Grenadier website
