Ineos Grenadier years to avoid, and the best years to buy
Every Ineos Grenadier Station Wagon model year: which ones owners and specialists recommend, which have documented problems, which carry recalls, and what they sell for now.
There's no bad engine to avoid, since every US truck has the B58. The early US trucks (MY2024) carry all three recalls, so get proof they're closed. MY2026 brings the revised steering, HVAC and driver-assist tweaks plus more than 40 smaller changes. If you plan to drive a lot of highway miles, 2026 is the one to buy. Cars.com calls the 2026 steering 'a tremendous improvement'; Parkers is cooler and calls it 'marginally better on-road'.

What a Ineos Grenadier costs (October 2026)
Used trucks sit well under new-truck money, so a lightly used 2024 is the value play; the MY2026 steering update is the reason to buy new.

|---|---|
| Used 2024, top results | $81k–92.5k |
