Ineos has officially unveiled the Grenadier Game Viewer, a specialized new variant of its rugged 4x4 that is scheduled to go on sale early next year. This model traces its origins to an earlier concept vehicle that unexpectedly attracted strong attention from safari operators, wildlife reserves, and high-end lodges across Sub-Saharan Africa. Interest also came from ranches and private estates located in the United States, the Middle East, and parts of Southeast Asia. Building on that enthusiasm, Ineos has now transformed the idea into a production-ready model designed specifically for professional wildlife viewing and outdoor operations.
The Game Viewer is described as a tailor-made, factory-managed conversion that will be available on both the long-wheelbase and extra-long-wheelbase Grenadier chassis. Instead of being fully assembled in Europe, partially completed vehicles will roll out of the company’s Hambach manufacturing facility and then be shipped directly to Ineos Kavango in Botswana, where the conversion work will take place. The vehicles arrive essentially as bare structures—delivered without exterior paint, rear doors, seating, glass windows, roof panels, interior trims, or any electrical systems that aren’t absolutely essential. This stripped-down approach allows the Kavango team to build each unit according to the specific requirements of operators in the safari industry.
Once in Botswana, these shells are transformed into fully functional Game Viewers capable of carrying between four and nine passengers in the rear. Customization is a key part of the program. Clients can choose the seating layout—such as tiered safari-style benches or side-facing seats—along with custom storage solutions and different roof options, depending on whether they prioritize sun protection, photographic visibility, or maximum open-air exposure.
One of the notable advantages of this conversion process is that the Grenadier’s frame is left untouched. No alterations to the chassis are required, meaning the vehicle retains its full factory warranty and continues to qualify for manufacturer-backed service and support. This gives the Game Viewer a critical edge over many aftermarket conversions, which often involve structural changes that can void warranties and complicate maintenance.
Before the model’s official rollout, Ineos built several demonstration units. Four of these will soon be put into service at Hiddn Lodge, located near Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) in South Africa. These prototypes acted as real-world test vehicles, helping Ineos refine the final production configuration and validate the durability of the new design under safari conditions.
Although Ineos has not yet released detailed technical specifications unique to the Game Viewer, the standard Grenadier lineup provides a solid picture of what to expect. The regular model is powered by BMW’s 3.0-liter inline-six engines. The petrol version delivers 282 hp and 450 Nm of torque, while the diesel option produces 245 hp and 550 Nm, ensuring that even the Game Viewer variant maintains the strong off-road capability and low-end torque the Grenadier is known for.
