ECDxCTC: The Tailored INEOS Grenadier Redefines Modern Adventure

When two names synonymous with craftsmanship and automotive design excellence come together, something remarkable happens. The collaboration between ECD Automotive Design and the Chelsea Truck Company (CTC) has resulted in a new benchmark for bespoke adventure vehicles: the ECD x CTC INEOS Grenadier.

This partnership brings together ECD’s legacy of handcrafted customization with CTC’s renowned design innovation to create a vehicle that merges rugged capability with refined luxury—a modern icon built for those who demand individuality, power, and purpose.

Precision-Tailored for Unmatched Capability

ECD’s Grenadier Tailoring Program begins with one simple premise: no two adventures are the same. Each build starts with the foundation of the INEOS Grenadier—already a purpose-built off-road machine—and transforms it into something entirely personal.

Through ECD’s bespoke process, owners can tailor every inch of their Grenadier, from performance upgrades and aesthetic refinements to luxury interior materials and entertainment options. This is precision tailoring for the modern explorer.

The program integrates premium components from Chelsea Truck Company, Eibach, and Milltek, resulting in a balance of luxury, durability, and performance rarely seen in the off-road world.

Step One: The Base Vehicle

The journey begins with the base Grenadier model, available in both Standard and Fieldmaster Edition configurations. The Fieldmaster Edition adds classic detailing and timeless charm for those who appreciate heritage design. Both serve as the perfect blank canvas, robust, reliable, and ready for personalization.

ECD also offers flexibility: clients can start with a brand-new Grenadier, purchase one through ECD, or even bring in their own vehicle for transformation. With strong ties to the Crown INEOS Grenadier group, ECD ensures a seamless ownership experience from build to service.

Exterior Upgrades: Style Meets Strength

The first step in personalization is visual impact—and ECD offers two distinct body kits designed by the Chelsea Truck Company:

Series 1 Body Kit — Understated Refinement

For those who value subtle sophistication, the Series 1 Body Kit enhances the Grenadier’s natural lines with refined details. Featuring custom wheel arches, a grille mask, alpine covers, rear roof wing, and spare wheel cover, this package elevates the vehicle’s stance without compromising its rugged DNA.

Series 2 Body Kit — Bold and Commanding

For drivers who want their presence felt both on and off the road, the Series 2 kit delivers a wider, more aggressive look. With 40mm wide-track overfenders, a large roof wing, and enhanced body components, it transforms the Grenadier into an unmistakable powerhouse built to conquer any terrain.

Complementing these kits are premium forged alloy wheels such as the G22 RS and Mondial Retro RS, paired with BFGoodrich All-Terrain or Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT tires, each selected to match your preferred performance style.

Interior Tailoring: Handcrafted Comfort

Inside, ECD redefines the Grenadier’s cabin with a focus on comfort and craftsmanship. The Comfort Leather Interior Package introduces a modern, modular design available in four distinct colorways, Volcanic Black, Bristol Blue, Vermillion, and Dark British Tan.

Every seat, headrest, and door panel is wrapped in premium leather with impeccable stitching and design continuity, delivering an interior that feels both purposeful and indulgent.

For those seeking an added touch of sport-inspired luxury, the Chelsea Truck Co. Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel introduces performance flair with lightweight construction and a tactile, refined feel.

Performance and Sound: Milltek Exhaust Options

Power deserves presence and sound. Through Milltek Sport, ECD offers two distinct exhaust systems:

  • Resonated GT System – A refined setup engineered to enhance the Grenadier’s B58 engine with a balanced tone that remains compliant with legal standards.
  • Non-Resonated GT System – Designed for enthusiasts craving a more engaging exhaust note, this upgrade delivers a deeper, more dynamic sound that amplifies every drive.

Both options improve driving dynamics and responsiveness while giving the Grenadier a voice worthy of its powertrain.

Suspension and Handling: Eibach-Engineered Precision

To optimize performance, ECD offers a suite of Eibach suspension upgrades, blending on-road comfort with off-road capability.

  • Eibach PRO-LIFT Kit: Adds up to +1.2” front lift for additional clearance without sacrificing ride quality.
  • Trekfinder Lowering Kit: Lowers the stance by approximately 1” for a sportier, more road-focused setup.
  • Eibach Anti-Roll Kit: Reduces body roll and increases stability during high-speed maneuvers.
  • Pro-Damper and Steering Damper Kits: Enhance handling precision, comfort, and steering feedback in all driving environments.

Each system is designed for perfect synergy with the Grenadier’s factory architecture, ensuring performance upgrades feel both natural and elevated.

Lifestyle Enhancements: Details That Define

Beyond performance, ECD offers upgrades that bring both style and functionality to everyday driving:

  • Power Steps with LED illumination for seamless entry and exit.
  • Quad Roof Lights for improved visibility and off-road capability.
  • Dakar Grille inspired by rally heritage, crafted in matte carbon fiber.
  • Contrasting Roof Paint and Chelsea Truck Co. Wheel Covers with optional mirror lettering for standout personalization.
  • Oversized Rear Roof Wing and 15mm Wheel Arches for enhanced stance and presence.

For audiophiles, ECD offers a Focal Audio System Upgrade and optional dual rear entertainment screens, turning every journey into an immersive experience.

A Lifestyle, Tailored by ECD

Project by project, ECD continues to expand its reputation as the world’s leading builder of bespoke automotive icons. The ECD x Chelsea Truck Co INEOS Grenadier exemplifies this philosophy: a vehicle crafted not for everyone, but for those who want everything.

We’re redefining what a lifestyle vehicle can be,” said Elliot Humble, ECD Co-Founder and CTO. “The INEOS Grenadier represents strength and adventure, and through our collaboration with Chelsea Truck Company, we’ve elevated it into something truly personal, a machine that looks as at home on a city street as it does on a remote island trail.

From its British heritage to its American craftsmanship, the ECD x CTC Grenadier stands as the new icon of custom adventure. Built for the explorer who expects every detail to reflect their lifestyle, it’s an expression of identity.
