Ineos wants everyone to know how tough its Grenadier SUV is. So, they’re doing something big: testing it deep underground in a salt mine in Germany. This mine, called the K+S potash plant, is huge and goes 1,300 meters below the earth’s surface. It’s perfect for testing how strong a car is, especially one meant for off-road adventures. Even though the Grenadier has already been through a lot of testing, including really cold and high places, Ineos wants to show it can handle anything.
Testing how long a car lasts can be done in lots of ways. Sometimes it means driving it for hours in super hot weather, or dropping it from high places to see how safe it is. But one of the toughest tests is salt. Salt can wreck cars, especially in winter when it’s used to clear roads. So, testing a car in salt for a long time shows just how tough it is.
Lynn Calder, the CEO of INEOS Automotive, says, “Extreme testing conditions are not new to the Grenadier as we really put it through its paces during development, but it’s great to work with partners around the world to showcase just how capable this 4X4 is on-road, off-road and now underground.”
The Grenadier is made to last. It’s not complicated like some other cars. It has a strong frame and heavy-duty parts. It can handle tough situations, thanks to its powerful engine and special features.
Ineos has tested the Grenadier in lots of ways to prove how tough it is. And they’re going to do the same with other models too. So, if you’re thinking about getting one, know that it’s built to last. Don’t just keep it in the garage – take it out and let it do what it’s made for.
