Ineos Automotive will present four Grenadier models at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show.

This will be the company’s second appearance at the event. The display will include the Grenadier Portal Axle Prototype, designed for extreme off-road conditions, and special editions such as a Chelsea Truck Company custom version and Belstaff collaborations—the Fieldmaster and Trialmaster.

The Grenadier Portal Axle Prototype highlights the Ineos Grenadier’s “Built for More” engineering. With its ladder frame chassis and body-on-frame construction, the portal axle system enhances off-road capability and durability. It was first shown at the Goodwood Festival in the UK last July.

The Portal Axle Prototype offers upgraded specifications. Its fording depth has increased from 800 mm (31.5 inches) to 1,050 mm (41.3 inches), and ground clearance has grown from 264 mm (10.4 inches) to 514 mm (20.2 inches).

The vehicle features offset wheel hubs and large off-road tires, offering better traction and a unique appearance. TÜV-certified suspension springs and shock absorbers provide stability on rough terrain. This design has already proven effective in industrial and construction settings in Germany.

Chelsea Truck Company Edition: Urban Refinement Meets Off-Road Prowess

The Grenadier by Chelsea Truck Company, designed by the UK-based tuning specialist, blends refined urban aesthetics with strong off-road performance.

A three-piece front hammer grille cowl gives the vehicle a bold look: the 40 mm (1.6 inches) wide wheel arches and overfenders balance refined style and ruggedness.

Other notable features include an alpine window cover, an upper roof wing with KAHN® badging, 9×20-inch Mondial Retro wheels, and 35-inch off-road tires. This design is expected to appeal to consumers who want a premium off-road SUV that fits urban environments.

Belstaff Editions: Adventure-Ready Luxury

The Grenadier Fieldmaster and Trialmaster Editions, developed in collaboration with Belstaff, will also be featured at the exhibition. These models reflect Belstaff’s tradition and innovation in producing durable, rugged outerwear since 1924.

The Fieldmaster Edition includes adventure-ready features. The Trialmaster Edition, inspired by Belstaff’s 1948 jacket, is optimized for demanding off-road use.

Lynn Calder, CEO of Ineos Automotive, said that the Grenadier is a blank canvas for customers to tailor to their lifestyles and needs. The Portal Axle Prototype demonstrates the exciting possibilities of this platform.
