Grenadier Experience Roadshow in Germany

I'm sure they will get this right.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Thank you for this voting @emax!
My focus is on the option to get a great new 4x4 rather than finding any hair in the soup.

For clarification, I think it is right/OK, as opposed to needs fixing. A little slack is a good thing, and it has to hang somewhere.

It may well pick up on a not uncommon problem with the old Defender, where the electric window winders stopped working and the fault was often in the rubber trunking being too tight/not protective enough/too tight a radius and allowing the cables to break.

If this is a solution to that issue then it's a positive.

Also had my test drive today - great car!

I was a bit surprised about this - not sure whether the cable tubes would be visible from outside in final vehicles:

This will not be like this on the production model.

Just like the "no inverter' option .

You can see on earlier versions where they were suffering crush damage:

The problem is occuring because the cable tube enters the door at the bottom or at least too far along the bottom.

Seems an easy fix - the cable tube should enter the door at the side, just below the hinge or at the doors' right angle.

One plus to entering the door at the bottom should be less water intrusion to the door from rain runoff.

 

[klarie]

Even this can be fixed by a overhanging niche in side - like a litte swaged dent, and in there a hole facing upwards so no water entry. Of course the tool that presses the rear doors need to be altered. (adding complexity) perhaps a proper gasket does the same.

Exactly

I really hope that's not on a sign hung above the production line at Hambach...

Now I had the opportunity to drive it myself and was so far thrilled, everything seemed even more solid than before in the prototypes I saw. However, there is still room for improvement, such as the unprotected camera, which is not very useful when dirty, and the enormously small camera image on the display.

But what really makes me think is the high loading height and the lower loading height in the car compared to the Defender, which does not allow me to accommodate my sleeping box and kitchen obviously.

Rear doors are difficult to open, the order first to open the narrower door is certainly more cumbersome because you hardly get access over it. With the experience of Defender and the heavy wide door but certainly okay. However, the opening angle costs loading width.

Do you mean the field of view or the image size on the screen?

Could you explain that a little more?

 

[emax]

The rear loading height is indeed a bit higher than I expected. Though no issue for me, my wife alrady complained ...

 

[Cavaleiro]

And the loading height inside is probably 5cm less than in the Defender. Unfortunately, that takes away my chance to fold down the bed. Crap. This is probably also due to the higher loading sill and the higher interior floor.

Someone may have a picture to illustrate but the even small display only shows on 1/3 the image of the rear camera so quite small honestly.

 

[Cavaleiro]

Just in addition and as I quickly measured it in my 110...

Trunk height (not loading height, door height is lower of course):

Defender 1,15m
Ineos according to homepage 1.04m

 

[DaveB]

I am a bit confused. Why would you put a bed in the back of this vehicle.
Where do you put the shower, toilet etc?
Many people in Australia tow a campervan, caravan, or sleep in a tent or swag.
We stay in a caravan park, hotel, airbnb.
Driving all day in the vehicle and then sleeping inside as well it must get pretty smelly.

When are they ever not happy???
I guess they have learnt to take life with a smile after driving Land rovers

We don't know whether it's configurable in some way. But that's what I can offer:
