Ineos Automotive is continuing development of its new Fusilier SUV. This model will be smaller than the Grenadier and is intended to expand the brand's lineup. The project was first unveiled in early 2024 with a planned launch in 2027, but development was later temporarily paused.

The pause was due to weak demand for electric vehicles and industry uncertainty surrounding tariffs, taxes, and the timeline for transitioning to electric transport. The company has now confirmed that the Fusilier project remains active and is still part of its growth strategy.

Initially, the vehicle was planned to be built on an electric platform. A range-extender version was also considered—a powertrain where the primary drive is electric, with a gasoline engine used to recharge the battery. This option could prove most suitable for an off-road vehicle.

Developing a compact SUV should help the brand reach a broader market. Current models like the Grenadier and the Quartermaster pickup are primarily aimed at serious off-road enthusiasts and are produced in relatively limited numbers. Creating a more compact model could mark a new phase for the company, which was founded by British entrepreneur Jim Ratcliffe.
