The Nissan Patrol has always been a capable 4WD but has been aimed more at luxury cruiser of late.

It looks big and bulky, and it is.

Inside there is plenty of space. The front seat slide could be a little tight for very tall drivers, but the middle row seats have plenty or room.

Third row seats are also reasonably roomy.

The Patrol is also exceptionally comfortable. You feel cocooned inside, its quiet and smooth, and you feel like you’re sitting in a lounge chair.

The Patrol is now an old design, but with the locally upgraded infotainment system and redesigned central stack, it is more functional and looks better.

The 5.8 litre V8 Sounds awesome and provides plenty or performance. But this comes at the expense of fuel economy. Around town I was getting a little under 20 litres per 100 kilometres.

The steering is especially light, which is great for tight suburban carparks, but not so much on the open road.

One good thing about the Patrol TI=L is the price. It costs a little over $100,000 plus the usual costs and against the competition that’s sensational value.

There are three 4WDs in the series. The Navara SL Warrior, which is aimed more at the work Ute market and rugged off-road work.

The Navara Pro 4X Warrior, which is the upmarket dual Cab Ute with lots of bells and whistles.

Finally, there is the Patrol Warrior. This is based on the Ti version with lots of additional features.

What Premcar do, and its quite clever, is they take the existing vehicle and add capability for both on road and off-road situations.

That’s difficult, as mostly to improve one, the other suffers. And it’s usually the on-road ride and handling that suffers. Not so with the Warrior series by Premcar.

I toured their facilities in Epping Victoria, and they were first class. Spotlessly clean, efficient and they take their obligations to their workers above and beyond.

The key to the Warrior vehicles isn’t so much what they do, more how effortlessly and composed they do it.

They are definitely worth a drive

The post Nissan Warrior by Premcar drive day appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The Grenadier is a mix of old school 4WD functionality with modern technology. But not too much thankfully. The makers have eschewed many intrusive safety features and kept it as simple as possible.

What they didn’t miss out on was true 4WD capability. It has it by the bucket full. We took the Grenadier over some interesting and moderately difficult tracks, and it handled them with ease.

On road ride and handling is more like a premium SUV rather than a rough 4WD and inside you can opt for the level of luxury you want.

The closest vehicle to it would perhaps be the Land Rover Defender, the new one.

There are three models to choose from, with two inline six-cylinder engines from BMW and one 8 speed ZF Automatic transmission.

Pricing starts from $109,000 plus the usual costs for the utility wagon and there is a comprehensive options list available.

The INEOS Grenadier is absolutely worth a drive if you are looking for a premium 4WD wagon.

Also look at.

The Grenadier is a bit of a loner.

But buyers could look at Jeep Wrangler, Toyota LC76, or the Land Rover Defender.

Obviously, there is the Toyota LC300, or the Nissan Patrol Warrior.

Other smaller 4WDs include Isuzu MU-X, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, SsangYong Rexton, Toyota Fortuner.

INEOS Grenadier final thoughts

First impressions are that the Grenadier is a good piece of gear.

There you go, years of development, a billion EURO plus of development cost and I sum it up as a good piece of gear.

But it is. It feels almost over engineered. The mindfulness to the original philosophy is impressive.

It sits almost in its own little segment. Not as utilitarian as the LC76 or as plush as the new Defender.

The INEOS Grenadier is a robust, practical and purpose built, functional, true 4WD. Its more an expedition vehicle for true adventures.

In the increasingly homogenised SUV and soulless EV world we seem to be moving towards, having 4WDs that are slightly flawed but full of personality, like the INEOS Grenadier is comforting.

It is a little expensive, but quality always comes with a price.
