Comparison: Turning circle Ineos Grenadier vs. competitors 2025
Picture this: You're behind the wheel of the robust and rugged Ineos Grenadier, facing a serpentine trail that would make lesser vehicles weep in their garage. You quickly remember that the Grenadier's turning circle is a not-too-shabby 13.50 meters. Not too tight, not too wide, just enough for a bit of an adventure twirl. And while it hasn't mutated across generations—mainly because it's as fresh as the prince of a town called Bel-Air—it promises to hold its own in the wild world of automotive twist and turns.
Ineos Grenadier - How has the turning circle changed over the generations?
Where evolution is concerned, the Grenadier is still peering over the edge of its evolutionary pool, having only one generation to speak of. First gracing us in 2022, the Grenadier hasn't had the chance to dabble in generational mutations of its turning prowess, maintaining a consistent 13.50 meters that’s far more jolly green giant than fee-fi-fo-fum. However, this stoic constancy could be seen as an ode to Ineos' commitment to providing a turning circle suitable for the modern off-roader’s demands right out of the gate. Only time will tell if future Grenadiers will turn tighter or grow more grandiose in their gyrations.

The turning circle compared to other Ineos models
In the Ineos family, the Grenadier greets us as the gap-toothed smile of the Ineos lineup at a turning circle of, you guessed it, 13.50 meters. It winks cheekily at the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster, which, burdened by an extra meter (14.50 m, to be precise), is more of a lumbering beast when carving out a U-turn on a dime. One could argue that the difference is negligible, but when you're trying to negotiate a fiddly bit of forestry, that extra meter might as well be a mile.
How does the turning circle of the Ineos Grenadier compare to it's nearest competitors?
Now, let's compare the Grenadier to the automotive neighbors. The Jeep Gladiator is like a sumo wrestler in a ballet class, pirouetting with a marginally larger 13.70-meter turning circle compared to our Ineos. Gasps of shock! Meanwhile, the Fiat Multipla, a car resembling an aquatic creature with its, ahem, distinctive look, has a rather sprightly turning circle at 11.00 meters. However, it's akin to comparing a pugilistic heavyweight to a featherweight in ballet slippers, considering the Multipla's diminutive stature.
Going further down the rabbit hole, we find the Hyundai Terracan boasting an 11.80-meter twirl, a smidgen nimble compared to Ineos's dance, and makes its longer length and wheelbase seem like a magician's trick. The Hyundai IONIQ 6 drifts around corners with a similar flair at 11.80 meters, though it's more of a sleek sedan than a boxy brute. And when it comes to trucks, the Maxus Deliver 9, a veritable mammoth, makes the Grenadier look like it could dance Swan Lake, with an enormous 13.40-meter circumference.
