Ineos Grenadier and Quartermaster 2026: Steering upgrades and new trim for Ford Ranger Super Duty and Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series rival

---

The Ineos Grenadier off-road wagon and Quartermaster utility have been updated for 2026 with mechanical changes, price increases, and a limited-run Black Edition from $122,000 before on-road costs and options. 

Key among the mechanical changes is a significant update to the Grenadier and Quartermaster’s recirculating-ball steering box.

Ineos has engineered a new, variable-ratio box for a lower ratio around the centre while retaining the higher ratio as more steering lock is wound on. The brand claims this promotes a “positive evolution of its on-road dynamic character.”

This move addresses a key criticism of the Grenadier and Quartermaster — Chasing Cars described the early steering box as having “remarkable vagueness” on-road. 

In addition, Ineos has improved the steering turning circle, reducing the diameter by five percent, and has introduced better climate-control components for greater chill factor.

Justin Hocevar, Head of Region, INEOS Automotive Asia Pacific, said of the upgraded car: “it’s more refined where it counts, without losing the rugged capability that defines the Grenadier.”

If the improvements stick, it should enhance Ineos utility sales against key commercial rivals such as the four-cylinder Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Series (from $79,300) and V6-powered Ford Ranger Super Duty Double Cab ($89,990).

Pricing increases for MY26 models, with the base Grenadier starting at $105,000 before on-road costs – up $2000. The Quartermaster cab-chassis climbs by the same amount to $107,000. 

Trialmaster and Fieldmaster variants now all start at $120,000, so up as much as $5000.  A full price list appears at the end of this article. 

The new Black Edition, which will be in production for a limited time, is based on the Fieldmaster. It scores a dark exterior pack, privacy glass, black headliner, interior carpets and BF Goodrich all-terrain tyres mounted on gloss-black 18-inch alloy wheels. 

As before, the Grenadier and Quartermaster are offered with a choice of two BMW-sourced straight-six engines – a 3.0-litre turbo-petrol developing 210kW and 450Nm or a twin-turbo diesel making 183kW and 550Nm.

An eight-speed automatic transmission is the only option, with all Grenadiers featuring 4×4 with high and low range. 

There are more in-house accessories for MY26 as well, including bike carriers, cargo boxes, light bars, ‘Safari Windows’, various tonneau-cover options for ute models, winches, and plenty more.
