3.0D Trialmaster Station Wagon 6dr Diesel Auto 4WD Euro 6 (s/s) (249 ps)

If you regularly engage in really rough off-roading, then please take our two-star rating with a grain of salt, because off-roading is what the Ineos Grenadier does best. It’s one of the most capable 4x4s you can buy, especially if you opt for the torquey diesel engine. On the other hand, if the roughest stuff you have to tackle is a muddy car park – or even a mild green lane – then we reckon there’s little to no point in putting up with the Grenadier’s agricultural, unrefined demeanour. The Land Rover Defender is a better choice in most use cases.

Trialmaster has been designed for off-roading enthusiasts and gets equipment to reflect that. On top of the standard equipment you’ll find on other versions, it gets locking front and rear differentials, a raised air intake, chunkier off-road tyres, heated wing mirrors and a few other bits to make it easier to live with.

This diesel engine has less power than the petrol variant, but offers around 70lb ft of extra torque, giving you extra shove for climbing up rocks and steep inclines. That makes it ideal for those wanting to spend their time off road, but it's fairly slow compared with rivals, covering 0-62mph in 9.9sec, and quite agricultural in noise and the way it sends vibration through the steering wheel.

At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK.
