Boasting British craftsmanship, design and expertise, the INEOS Grenadier also benefits from German engineering through the tried-and-tested BMW powertrain, and is built in Hambach, France.

Securing themselves the very first of only 200 of this special edition, which is hand-finished at the Arcane Works facility in Britain, the customer’s bespoke INEOS Grenadier Arcane Works Detour embodies a rare duality: uncompromising capability paired with refined craftsmanship for the discerning adventurer who demands excellence in every environment.

Unveiled as a new pinnacle of off-road luxury at an exclusive launch event in Dubai Design District in December 2025, the INEOS Grenadier Arcane Works Detour is a vehicle conceived not merely as transport, but as a statement of intent.

At the heart of the Detour Edition lies the proven, go-anywhere DNA of the INEOS Grenadier. But Arcane Works – the brand’s new personalisation and special projects division – has elevated it into something altogether more exclusive. Every detail has been considered, curated and crafted, drawing on the finest materials and traditional British design sensibilities.

From hand-finished interior elements to carefully selected premium leathers, bespoke exterior detailing and tactile surfaces designed to age beautifully with use, the Detour Edition celebrates authenticity. This is luxury that doesn’t shy away from mud, rock or rain – luxury that invites exploration rather than avoiding it.

Commenting on the delivery, Dr Andreas Schaaf, Director of Albatha Automotive Group, said: “While the INEOS Grenadier represents the pinnacle of off-road performance and capability, the Arcane Works Detour Edition takes this to another level with bespoke features and British craftsmanship that make this exceptional 4X4 truly one-of-a-kind. The UAE is a discerning market of passionate off-roading enthusiasts in which personalisation is key for customers who value rarity and exclusivity. We’re therefore thrilled to be delivering the very first Arcane Works Detour Edition to be produced to our customer here in Dubai, and look forward to seeing more bespoke INEOS Grenadiers from Arcane Works on the roads of the UAE in the future!”

The Detour Edition delivered to the Dubai customer features unique design elements specific to this individual vehicle, including an exquisite combination of alluring signature Squall Green exterior finish with an elegant Sahara Sand Leather interior. Flourishes come courtesy of details such as the exclusive Arcane Works 18-inch alloy wheels, Arcane Works badging on the exterior panels and, of course, the coveted Detour 1/200 plaques on the door sills.

The aesthetic is purposeful yet elegant, aimed squarely at those who see adventure not as an occasional escape, but as a way of life. Whether navigating remote highlands or arriving at a country hotel, the Detour Edition feels equally at home – confident, capable and quietly assured.

Exclusivity is central to the Detour Edition’s appeal. Just 200 examples will be produced globally, ensuring its place as a highly coveted model within the Grenadier portfolio. Created for collectors and connoisseurs alike, the Arcane Works Detour caters to those who value rarity, craftsmanship and provenance as much as outright capability.

Sam Ratcliffe, Director of Arcane Works and son of INEOS founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, describes the philosophy behind the project:

“Arcane Works was created to explore the edges of what the Grenadier can be – technically, aesthetically and emotionally. The Detour Edition is about celebrating British craftsmanship and materials while staying absolutely true to the vehicle’s functional roots. It’s built for people who want real adventure, but who also appreciate detail, quality and restraint.”

Crucially, the Detour Edition is not a one-off indulgence. It marks the beginning of a broader vision.

“This is the first of many projects to come from the Arcane Works stable,” Ratcliffe adds. “Detour sets the tone—authentic, beautifully made and purpose-driven. We’re just getting started.”

Produced in strictly limited numbers, the INEOS Grenadier Arcane Works Detour Edition stands as a modern expression of British engineering and craftsmanship – designed for collectors and adventurers who refuse to choose between capability and luxury, and who believe the most rewarding journeys are the ones taken off the beaten path.
