Africa 2026 grenadier

[ilori]

What new features are to be expected in the 2026 grenadier model

 

[David van Breda]

I heard that:
1. Apparently there will be no second battery or even an option to have one fitted in the 2026 model onwards.
2. Also the DRL light-ring around the headlight will be broader.

Already deleted as an option a few months ago.

BMW 48v mild hybrid is on the slate for 2026.

I was expecting that at some point which is why we bought as early as possible.

Joking ?

I guess that depends on whether BMW move all engine production to at least mild hybrids. Cant see enough Grenadier volume to warrant a non-hybrid line

No joke. LC confirmed it earlier in the year.

There were early discussions here about Ineos qualifying for low volume exemptions in various markets. BMW does have their S58. Maybe that will remain non-hybrid.

BMW announced a while back they are not ending production of non hybrid B58. So it should still be around for some time now. FYI they moved/moving engine building out of Germany as well.

I can't see UK government allowing any vehicle to be sold without some sort of hybrid after 2030. Even Morgan are going hybrid & electric. Maybe it's going to be a geographical thing as with the adblue in South Africa

They will re-engineer the AC and reroute the tubes for the condensed water - will not end up in the footwell anymore. Should be then more of what we would expect - like in my Mercedes - adjust the AC two time as year - one in summer and one in winter.
I am pretty sure that they will further improve the steering - in the meantime I could drive 23, 24 and 25 models and steering is becoming more comfortable. Mine with a VIN in the early 1000s gives you a real utility experience and since this is my daily driver I have no issues with this. Last week I was driving for 500km a Grenadier with a VIN number in the early 24k and it gives you a complete different and smoother drving experience. Also had the pleasure to drive a VIN around 19k and driving experience was smoother than with my car but not as smooth as with the 24k. Anyway I have learned that all Grenadier give you a slight different driving experience due to the different strengths of the springs for different Grenadier versions and markets.
Besides this they will concentrate on eliminating some smaller problems, change some OEM products and overall improving quality.
