INEOS Automotive has added a new special edition to the Grenadier line-up for the 2027 model year, and this one leans hard into a nautical theme. The Helmsman, available to order now from $78,995, is the first in a series of special editions inspired by the elements the Grenadier was designed to tackle.

Available on both the Station Wagon and the Quartermaster pick-up, the Helmsman builds on the standard Grenadier with popular design features carried over from previous limited-run models, finished with a striking deep blue paint colour originally developed by Arcane Works.

Sagree Sardien, Global Sales Director at INEOS Automotive, said: “Built to work hard and play even harder, the Grenadier is in its element when recovering a boat or transporting kayaks to the coast. With this in mind, we have combined popular design features from previous limited editions with new oceanic hues to deliver the ideal 4X4 for watersports enthusiasts and seafarers. After three quarters of double digit growth, it’s clear that our model line-up evolution is focused on bringing new customers to the brand who share our spirit of adventure.”

The Helmsman is distinguishable by exclusive badging and a Dark Exterior Pack comprising a black grille, dark skidplates and all-new matt black roof rails. It rides on distinctive 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and adds privacy glass, heated leather seats, carpet floor mats over heavy-duty wash-down rubber flooring, locking wheel nuts, a Premium Sound System and the rear access ladder or load bay tub, depending on model. Smooth Pack features are also added, including ambient lighting, front parking sensors and auxiliary electrical points.

A Whiteout Blue metallic exterior paint option, previously exclusive to Arcane Works models, is available for the Helmsman. Eldoret Blue and Scottish White are offered as standard, with customers able to opt for a contrast roof in either Inky Black or Scottish White. Inside, the Helmsman debuts standout oyster-coloured inserts in the black leather seats.
