Looking at the Indios","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":27.039,"end_s":35.2,"text":"Grenadier, it's pretty easy to tell that it is quite a rugged machine. But it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":32.0,"end_s":37.52,"text":"isn't just rugged. I think it is also","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":35.2,"end_s":42.8,"text":"beautiful. Like this silver blue that they have it in. Wonderful. This little","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":40.32,"end_s":47.92,"text":"LED halo around the headlights. Fantastic. And the overall look, even","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":45.52,"end_s":52.64,"text":"though it is very, very rugged, is also very Land Rover Defender. That's exactly","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":50.64,"end_s":57.6,"text":"what this thing is. Inos, if you don't know, is an absolutely massive chemical","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":55.68,"end_s":61.52,"text":"company, and their CEO just simply decided that he wanted the old Land","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":59.44,"end_s":67.119,"text":"Rover Defender, and the new one is too soft and way too comfortable. So, this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":64.559,"end_s":72.96,"text":"is what we have got right here. Inside of it is a BMW 6cylinder, the B-58 to be","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":71.2,"end_s":79.2,"text":"exact, which you'll find in the Supra, the Z4, and many other BMWs. It's been","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":76.64,"end_s":84.96,"text":"proven to be an exceptional engine. If you look it up on YouTube, everyone says","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":80.799,"end_s":87.52,"text":"it's BMW's best ever. And I tend to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":84.96,"end_s":92.32,"text":"agree. It is pretty silly driving around with this cuz it sounds very","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":89.6,"end_s":97.439,"text":"turbocharged given the type of vehicle. But at the same time, it should be","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":94.88,"end_s":101.52,"text":"pretty decent, even if it is very D-tuned compared to some of the other","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":99.2,"end_s":105.92,"text":"models that it comes in. The whole thing's a bit of a mish mash. As you can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":103.52,"end_s":110.64,"text":"see from this little badge right here, it was designed in Britain. has a bunch","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":108.479,"end_s":116.159,"text":"of German parts and it's assembled in France, but the German part of France.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":113.36,"end_s":120.96,"text":"Moving along the side, we have doors. Shocking, I know. But the surprising bit","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":118.399,"end_s":125.52,"text":"is that they don't unlock themselves. For a modern car, you actually need to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":122.64,"end_s":130.0,"text":"go in here and unlock it just like that, which I would be sad about, except that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":128.08,"end_s":135.36,"text":"this thing doesn't want fancy stuff like that. And also, they're damn satisfying","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":133.04,"end_s":139.92,"text":"doors to close. Along all of the side are these little pickup points so that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":137.52,"end_s":143.68,"text":"you can attach kind of whatever you want. Apparently, this is so if you have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":141.76,"end_s":147.599,"text":"a whole bunch of gear and it gets all wet or your gas or whatever, you can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":145.84,"end_s":151.92,"text":"attach it to the side of the car and you don't have to worry about it making all","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":149.2,"end_s":158.319,"text":"of the interior stuff all messy. Also, we have BFG Goodrich Allterrain TA KO2s,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":155.84,"end_s":162.16,"text":"which are fantastic in my opinion because you can take them off-road, but","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":160.48,"end_s":166.4,"text":"also they're not super duper loud on the highway.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":163.84,"end_s":170.72,"text":"This is a full gas vehicle and full all-wheel drive all the time. So, expect","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":168.64,"end_s":174.56,"text":"to be opening this door up quite a bit. But, as you can see, it's really, really","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":172.64,"end_s":178.959,"text":"large. And that's because in some other markets, you can get a diesel engine","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":176.239,"end_s":184.319,"text":"from BMW. But in North America, we only get the gas. Around the rear, we have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":181.28,"end_s":186.0,"text":"this massive full-size spare as well as","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":184.319,"end_s":189.92,"text":"a ladder. And as you might have suspected, that is a lot of weight on","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":188.239,"end_s":194.319,"text":"the back of your car. So, you're not going to be having a traditional lift","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":191.519,"end_s":200.64,"text":"gate. So instead, we get a door. And not just a door, but we get doors.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":198.959,"end_s":205.12,"text":"Ha. In the back, we have an absolutely","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":202.959,"end_s":209.84,"text":"massive area for cargo. You don't have any of those fancy swooping backs or","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":207.84,"end_s":214.72,"text":"anything trying to be aerodynamic. Nope. She's just a box, and you benefit","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":212.08,"end_s":218.48,"text":"greatly in terms of space. Also, all of this is plastic, which is really good if","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":216.72,"end_s":222.319,"text":"your stuff is wet and really bad if you want your stuff to stay in one place.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":220.72,"end_s":227.68,"text":"Fortunately though, there's eight tie down points back here, so it should be","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":224.319,"end_s":230.4,"text":"easy enough to make it not go","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":227.68,"end_s":235.599,"text":"too often. Also back here, if you happen to be stranded on the side of the road,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":232.799,"end_s":239.92,"text":"we have a couple of little safety vests. How fashionable. And also in here, we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":238.159,"end_s":246.56,"text":"have first aid supplies, which will be really good if you have a bit of a tumble. As you probably guessed from the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":243.599,"end_s":251.519,"text":"intro of this video, the roof up here is actually loadbearing. So, you can put","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":248.799,"end_s":256.4,"text":"yourself up here or more likely you can put all of your supplies up on top or","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":254.08,"end_s":261.759,"text":"tents or anything that you would like. Also, the safari Windows that are up","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":258.56,"end_s":263.919,"text":"here are actually removable. So, if you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":261.759,"end_s":268.28,"text":"want to get into the passenger seat, you can do so just like this.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":270.56,"end_s":278.0,"text":"But once in here, we find our first really big problem. The wife approval","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":275.44,"end_s":283.199,"text":"factor of this car is basically zero because there is nothing right here. Not","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":280.56,"end_s":287.84,"text":"a single mirror. I went downtown to have a nice dinner with the misses. And when","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":285.44,"end_s":292.88,"text":"she flipped this thing down and saw just nothing there, man, banned. Not allowed","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":290.56,"end_s":299.52,"text":"to have this vehicle ever. Cannot do it. Indios, very, very pleased. Put a mirror","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":296.4,"end_s":301.759,"text":"here. You will sell more. Moving around","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":299.52,"end_s":307.44,"text":"to the back, there's pretty decent room. It isn't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":304.32,"end_s":309.36,"text":"luxuriously large, but if you're tall,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":307.44,"end_s":313.12,"text":"you are not going to have any issues. And also, as long as the passenger or","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":311.28,"end_s":317.68,"text":"driver isn't all the way back, you're going to have plenty of leg room. Back","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":314.96,"end_s":323.28,"text":"here, we also have USBC and type A for charging and some vents. And uh that's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":320.96,"end_s":328.0,"text":"about all that you get for comfort, but at least the seats feel pretty good. One","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":325.6,"end_s":333.52,"text":"party trick for this seat in particular is it vibrates a lot. And that's because","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":331.039,"end_s":338.24,"text":"if you option the subwoofer, it's right under your ars. This right here is just","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":335.68,"end_s":342.4,"text":"a JBL sub. It's a tiny little powered guy that you can buy off of Crutchfield.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":340.16,"end_s":345.84,"text":"And it delivers a surprising amount of bass. Not just to this person in","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":344.08,"end_s":350.24,"text":"particular, but it puts a lot of vibration through the chassis. So even","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":347.6,"end_s":356.0,"text":"though it doesn't go super low, you can feel the bass and it's pretty enjoyable.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":354.24,"end_s":360.8,"text":"Hopping into the driver's seat, this is a very comfortable spot to be. The seats","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":358.639,"end_s":364.72,"text":"are Ricaros. You can just buy them and put them into any car. So, they decided","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":362.72,"end_s":369.12,"text":"to buy them and put them into this. And they are fully manual. You don't get any","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":366.96,"end_s":374.319,"text":"power seats, no massages or anything like that, which for the price you might","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":371.68,"end_s":379.919,"text":"want, but for the design goals of this, you do not. This is clearly a nononsense","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":377.039,"end_s":384.479,"text":"vehicle, as you can tell by every single switch. You can kind of appreciate why a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":382.4,"end_s":387.919,"text":"lot of manufacturers might be taking many of the functions of a car and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":386.24,"end_s":391.44,"text":"putting them into a touchscreen. When you see what happens when you take all","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":389.28,"end_s":396.24,"text":"the functions of a car and turn them into buttons. So there's your standard","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":394.08,"end_s":400.56,"text":"stuff like your climate control, which you expect. These are incredibly","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":398.639,"end_s":405.759,"text":"satisfying buttons. Like give give this a listen.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":403.039,"end_s":410.16,"text":"They are all incredibly satisfying to play with. We have auxiliary power right","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":408.24,"end_s":414.8,"text":"here that you can turn on and get all the functions of the vehicle without the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":412.08,"end_s":419.919,"text":"engine being turned on. Again, incredibly satisfying. And also, we have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":417.44,"end_s":424.08,"text":"pre-wired auxiliary circuits. So, if you want to put lights on the roof or an air","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":421.919,"end_s":427.4,"text":"compressor around the back, you can do just that.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":428.4,"end_s":434.4,"text":"But unfortunately, we don't have some of the more fun options, which would give","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":431.84,"end_s":438.319,"text":"us even more switches up here. in particular. If I was optioning one, I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":436.319,"end_s":442.319,"text":"would make sure to get a winch and some lockers for the differentials. But that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":440.639,"end_s":447.759,"text":"said, this is still an incredibly capable machine without them. We have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":444.8,"end_s":451.759,"text":"solid front axles. We have fulltime all the time all-wheel drive. And also, we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":449.84,"end_s":456.72,"text":"have four low if you need to get out of somewhere really nasty.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":454.0,"end_s":462.16,"text":"That's a satisfying onto. My favorite button though in a car with all of the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":459.36,"end_s":469.52,"text":"best buttons has to be this one right here. So, we have our typical horn,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":465.36,"end_s":470.96,"text":"loud, unpleasant, but also we have toot,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":469.52,"end_s":475.52,"text":"which is really nice if you just want to get someone's attention, but you don't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":473.12,"end_s":479.36,"text":"feel like actually. It's more like, hey, really, the only","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":477.52,"end_s":484.72,"text":"thing in here that doesn't feel rugged or premium is this little bit of piano","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":482.08,"end_s":488.479,"text":"black that's on the door, but I really don't think that will prevent you from","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":486.479,"end_s":492.4,"text":"getting to your location.

First of all, you can just open them up super","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":534.0,"end_s":542.72,"text":"easy like that.

I've just been","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":551.04,"end_s":557.68,"text":"throwing them in the back. It's kind of weird.

But","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":560.24,"end_s":566.8,"text":"this key itself with its little flippadoodle do here does not feel","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":564.48,"end_s":572.88,"text":"satisfying in the slightest to turn. It feels like it was really meant to only","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":568.48,"end_s":575.519,"text":"be in your pocket. But that said,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":572.88,"end_s":580.48,"text":"once it's on, she's a beauty to drive.

And like, let's be honest, unless you're intentionally trying to get into","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":616.56,"end_s":623.2,"text":"trouble, most of what you're doing if you're going over landing is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":621.36,"end_s":628.0,"text":"ripping along forest roads like this one.

Every single sharp edge has been rounded and everything has been sacrificed for comfort and convenience until you get to something like this. Meet the Indios Grenadier. This absolute beauty right here does not care if you want a push button start or for it to be comfortable or anything like that. It just wants you to go from point A to point B and it'll do it. I freaking love this thing. Let's have a look. Looking at the Indios Grenadier, it's pretty easy to tell that it is quite a rugged machine. But it isn't just rugged. I think it is also beautiful. Like this silver blue that they have it in. Wonderful. This little LED halo around the headlights. Fantastic. And the overall look, even though it is very, very rugged, is also very Land Rover Defender. That's exactly what this thing is. Inos, if you don't know, is an absolutely massive chemical company, and their CEO just simply decided that he wanted the old Land Rover Defender, and the new one is too soft and way too comfortable. So, this is what we have got right here. Inside of it is a BMW 6cylinder, the B-58 to be exact, which you'll find in the Supra, the Z4, and many other BMWs. It's been proven to be an exceptional engine. If you look it up on YouTube, everyone says it's BMW's best ever. And I tend to agree. It is pretty silly driving around with this cuz it sounds very turbocharged given the type of vehicle. But at the same time, it should be pretty decent, even if it is very D-tuned compared to some of the other models that it comes in. The whole thing's a bit of a mish mash. As you can see from this little badge right here, it was designed in Britain. has a bunch of German parts and it's assembled in France, but the German part of France. Moving along the side, we have doors. Shocking, I know. But the surprising bit is that they don't unlock themselves. For a modern car, you actually need to go in here and unlock it just like that, which I would be sad about, except that this thing doesn't want fancy stuff like that. And also, they're damn satisfying doors to close. Along all of the side are these little pickup points so that you can attach kind of whatever you want. Apparently, this is so if you have a whole bunch of gear and it gets all wet or your gas or whatever, you can attach it to the side of the car and you don't have to worry about it making all of the interior stuff all messy. Also, we have BFG Goodrich Allterrain TA KO2s, which are fantastic in my opinion because you can take them off-road, but also they're not super duper loud on the highway. This is a full gas vehicle and full all-wheel drive all the time. So, expect to be opening this door up quite a bit. But, as you can see, it's really, really large. And that's because in some other markets, you can get a diesel engine from BMW. But in North America, we only get the gas. Around the rear, we have this massive full-size spare as well as a ladder. And as you might have suspected, that is a lot of weight on the back of your car. So, you're not going to be having a traditional lift gate. So instead, we get a door. And not just a door, but we get doors. Ha. In the back, we have an absolutely massive area for cargo. You don't have any of those fancy swooping backs or anything trying to be aerodynamic. Nope. She's just a box, and you benefit greatly in terms of space. Also, all of this is plastic, which is really good if your stuff is wet and really bad if you want your stuff to stay in one place. Fortunately though, there's eight tie down points back here, so it should be easy enough to make it not go too often. Also back here, if you happen to be stranded on the side of the road, we have a couple of little safety vests. How fashionable. And also in here, we have first aid supplies, which will be really good if you have a bit of a tumble. As you probably guessed from the intro of this video, the roof up here is actually loadbearing. So, you can put yourself up here or more likely you can put all of your supplies up on top or tents or anything that you would like. Also, the safari Windows that are up here are actually removable. So, if you want to get into the passenger seat, you can do so just like this. But once in here, we find our first really big problem. The wife approval factor of this car is basically zero because there is nothing right here. Not a single mirror. I went downtown to have a nice dinner with the misses. And when she flipped this thing down and saw just nothing there, man, banned. Not allowed to have this vehicle ever. Cannot do it. Indios, very, very pleased. Put a mirror here. You will sell more. Moving around to the back, there's pretty decent room. It isn't luxuriously large, but if you're tall, you are not going to have any issues. And also, as long as the passenger or driver isn't all the way back, you're going to have plenty of leg room. Back here, we also have USBC and type A for charging and some vents. And uh that's about all that you get for comfort, but at least the seats feel pretty good. One party trick for this seat in particular is it vibrates a lot. And that's because if you option the subwoofer, it's right under your ars. This right here is just a JBL sub. It's a tiny little powered guy that you can buy off of Crutchfield. And it delivers a surprising amount of bass. Not just to this person in particular, but it puts a lot of vibration through the chassis. So even though it doesn't go super low, you can feel the bass and it's pretty enjoyable. Hopping into the driver's seat, this is a very comfortable spot to be. The seats are Ricaros. You can just buy them and put them into any car. So, they decided to buy them and put them into this. And they are fully manual. You don't get any power seats, no massages or anything like that, which for the price you might want, but for the design goals of this, you do not. This is clearly a nononsense vehicle, as you can tell by every single switch. You can kind of appreciate why a lot of manufacturers might be taking many of the functions of a car and putting them into a touchscreen. When you see what happens when you take all the functions of a car and turn them into buttons. So there's your standard stuff like your climate control, which you expect. These are incredibly satisfying buttons. Like give give this a listen. They are all incredibly satisfying to play with. We have auxiliary power right here that you can turn on and get all the functions of the vehicle without the engine being turned on. Again, incredibly satisfying. And also, we have pre-wired auxiliary circuits. So, if you want to put lights on the roof or an air compressor around the back, you can do just that. But unfortunately, we don't have some of the more fun options, which would give us even more switches up here. in particular. If I was optioning one, I would make sure to get a winch and some lockers for the differentials. But that said, this is still an incredibly capable machine without them. We have solid front axles. We have fulltime all the time all-wheel drive. And also, we have four low if you need to get out of somewhere really nasty. That's a satisfying onto. My favorite button though in a car with all of the best buttons has to be this one right here. So, we have our typical horn, loud, unpleasant, but also we have toot, which is really nice if you just want to get someone's attention, but you don't feel like actually. It's more like, hey, really, the only thing in here that doesn't feel rugged or premium is this little bit of piano black that's on the door, but I really don't think that will prevent you from getting to your location. But once you're there, maybe you need a phone plan, which is why I'm segueing to our sponsor, Sy. A bunch of you probably have vacation coming up right around the corner. First of all, lucky.

Now, in Wisac Inos in Vancouver reached out to us asking what type of a press vehicle we wanted, I said that I did not care at all as long as it came with the Safari Windows because these things are sick. First of all, you can just open them up super easy like that. But also, if you push this little clip up and out, you can lift the entire thing and then just bring down the whole little sunroof bit. This gives you a bunch of fresh air. And also, I don't know where to put these once I have it like this. I've just been throwing them in the back. It's kind of weird. One thing that I don't like about the Grenadier, though, is turning it on. You have to use a physical key, which honestly I am totally okay with. But this key itself with its little flippadoodle do here does not feel satisfying in the slightest to turn. It feels like it was really meant to only be in your pocket. But that said, once it's on, she's a beauty to drive. Throwing the Grenadier in drive and using the actual handbrake, we're able to set off and it is at home back in the woods like this. We haven't been doing any particularly difficult off-roading, but like that right there was one hell of a bump and this thing could not care less. On dirt roads like this, the handling is really great. Like I am not pushing it, but on these bumpy, dirty back roads, it absolutely loves it. This thing is a dream if you want to do overlanding or camping or stuff like that. And like, let's be honest, unless you're intentionally trying to get into trouble, most of what you're doing if you're going over landing is ripping along forest roads like this one. All right, I want to do a little bit of a launch. Here we go. Oh, the whole thing moves when you rev it. Oh, there we go. This thing has 282 horsepower, 332 foot-lbs of torque delivered to the ground through an 8-speed setup transmission. This thing right here also does 0 to 60 in eight seconds, which I will not be doing because that'll be pretty scary on a dirt road like this one. But that said though, the handling back on these dirt roads is fantastic. All of the suspension and all of their decisions make so much sense and it feels so good going around the corners and stuff like that on the dirt. It is an absolute dream. On pavement though, things aren't quite as good. And a lot of that comes down to the caster. Now, the caster is basically the angle that your suspension steers through. And the effect that has is it very slightly lifts the front of your car when you turn the steering wheel. Now, most cars have four to five degrees of caster. The ones that are handling Legends have more like seven. This right here has two. And from the forums that I have seen, a lot of them come with more like 1 and a half or 1.5°. Now, the problem that that has is it does not want to center itself very much. So, when you're going around a corner, you kind of, you know, you turn your wheel, but then you physically have to turn it back, which is uh not the greatest. Also, when you're going around corners on pavement, uh I don't do it particularly fast. Up here on the visor, it says that uh it has a tipover risk, and I believe them. I really think on most roads at highway speeds, if you really wanted to, you could flip this thing no problem. Winging done though, overall given its capabilities, this is a really nice car to drive around if you're just ripping through the city. It does have the problem that the uh turning radius is an abomination, but that can very simply be solved by ignoring curbs, which this thing loves to do. Overall, it's quite a comfortable spot to be, and it's shockingly quiet given the size of those tires. And as a bonus, the sound system rocks pretty good. Play Crab Rave on Apple Music. In here, we have five speakers. And I believe that they have coaxials in the doors here cuz they do sound quite good. I get nice highs, plenty of bass from that little sub. Even if it doesn't go super low, it gets a lot of vibrations in your ars, which is a whole load of fun. And I think it sounds pretty darn good. That said, it is not perfect because all of the speakers are down in the doors. You can hear it being down in the doors. Instead of having a sound stage that is up and around you, it's more down below you, unless you get it loud enough for it to just sort of spray sound all over the place. And also, because they have just a JBL subwoofer in the back, it doesn't perfectly integrate into the front. If you have a really, really good sound system, the sound of your subwoofer will join up with your door speakers and tweeters, and it all sounds like it's coming from one coherent place. where in this you can you can kind of tell they just threw a sub in the back. Overall though, very enjoyable sound system. As for the infotainment itself, it is perfectly fine. You get Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, so you'll probably just end up using that most of the time, but it is a little bit disappointing that the important things that you normally have on your dash are located over in this area. As for the dash itself, you just get a whole load of warning lights and nothing else. Even just adding a speedometer right in front of you would be a gamecher. I would love it if they had that right there. And then I wouldn't even care that the fuel and the temp and stuff is all over here. That said though, if you're actually off-roading, they have a bunch of really nice stats just like tire pressures, temperatures of your gear box, transfer case, all of that sort of stuff. Also, if you want, you can look at your elevation gain. So, you can see that we actually did go up into the hills quite a bit there. What's our max? We hit 820 ft above elevation. Not too bad. We can also see that uh it's not the most fuel efficient. Our drive, even though I have been kind of bashing on it, so far is 27.4 L per 100 miles. Oh, that's per 100 miles. What the is that? So, we have kilome/ hour, liters, feet, and miles. Sure. Either way, these screens are really cool and fun to look at. One thing I do wish that was spec is you can get a compass and a temperature gauge instead of the Grenadier logo right here, but also whatever. This is fine. As for other assists, uh there aren't any. The cruise control is just straight up cruise. You don't get any fancy adaptive stuff, which does make this a little bit more fatiguing on the highway, but also, oh well. Also, you don't get any sort of lane centering or assists like that. It just gets mad at you if you start to depart your lane. And otherwise, you drive the car. You're you're in control, which honestly, I kind of appreciate after how poorly so many manufacturers have done assists in some of the other cars. It's just incredibly refreshing to get into something that kind of just treats you like an adult. Speed warnings aside, you want to change the temperature, freaking turn a dial. You want to go faster, use your foot. You want to not hurt the person in front of you, use your foot, but on the other pedal. That's that's all there is. And I freaking love it. This thing right here is very far from a perfect vehicle, but also it's interesting. and I adore that. If you're not a vehicle enthusiast, I do not think that you should get this. This right here is a vehicle that is made for a purpose and makes sacrifices in order to fill its goals. So, if all that you want is a comfy thing for going and getting groceries or looking freaking sick around town, okay, well, maybe you still want to get it, but it's not the best car for that job. But if you want something that is durable, will last a long time, probably. We'll see how their support actually is, this is the car for you. Man, I cannot believe that this was made in 2025. Just look, I can't believe that you watched this video in 2025. So, huge thanks for watching. Hit like, get subscribed, and have a great old day. See you later."}
