Discover Powerful Driving Performance Features
Those in the adventure and off-road community who swear by the rugged INEOS Grenadier, there’s an aftermarket gadget that’s been causing a buzz – the IOPEDAL Throttle Tuner. The Grenadier, known for its sturdy build and capability to tackle less-traveled paths, now has a companion that promises to amplify its performance and the driver’s experience. Here’s my hands-on review of what the IOPEDAL brings to the table.
Take advantage of the many ways to optimize your INEOS Grenadier response and dynamics. You will find the ideal setting for every situation. Among many other features, you will love the sporty character of your Grenadier. The standard performance of your vehicle remains unchanged, but depending on the setting, it is optimized and immediately accessible.

Driving Dynamics, Enhanced
Upon installing the IOPEDAL Throttle Tuner, I noticed a vault in the Grenadier’s throttle response. The standard, albeit sluggish, pedal delay diminished, tapping into the 4×4’s full potential felt almost instantaneous. The modes are not just marketing gimmicks; each distinctly alters the vehicle’s behavior.
Toggling between modes is straightforward—Traffic mode keeps city driving tame but responsive, Eco mode seems to squeeze out a few extra miles per gallon (perfect for long-haul cruises), and Sport and Extreme modes are where the fun starts. The latter turns the Grenadier into a more eager beast, eager to attack the trails with a ferocity you wouldn’t expect from a utility-heavy vehicle.
Intuitive Control and Additional Security
The wireless remote is a godsend, showing clearly through LED colors exactly what setting you’re on without distracting from the trail or road ahead. Meanwhile, the app-control extends this intuition, allowing tweaks from your smartphone. The security modes were surprising but welcomed features—valet mode is ideal when handing over keys to a parking attendant, and secure mode provides peace of mind in the off-chance someone tries to make a sneaky getaway.
The Verdict
The IOPEDAL Throttle Tuner is a nifty device that marries simplicity with functionality. It’s not often that you find an aftermarket product that can deliver noticeable improvements to driving dynamics without undermining the versatility of the vehicle. My Grenadier now feels sportier and more attuned to my driving desires.
It’s important to note that although the IOPEDAL enhances performance, it doesn’t tinker with the Grenadier’s factory settings – it merely allows the driver to harness the existing power more effectively.
Would I Recommend It?
For fellow INEOS Grenadier owners looking to zest up their driving experience—absolutely. The IOPEDAL Throttle Tuner gives an already capable vehicle an extra edge, making it as versatile in its performance as it is in its utilitarian design. If you’re ready to turn heads with a more responsive and lively Grenadier, the IOPEDAL seems like a worthy investment.
