yessss these things are so cool
Ofc you would a bmw powertrain
How quickly did Hoovie come by when he heard you had this?
I hear he's doing his own video soon lol
@@ElliottAlvisgeez hoovie riding your coattails? 😂
We do need 3 of these for a Top Gear challenge 💯
Nice to see Elliott back.
Thank you!
Wow! A new video from Elliott! Has it been 2 months already?
Haha ouch. But true. Life is crazy man!
@@ElliottAlvisdo what ya gotta do! We will be here regardless
Yes! Finally someone who understands that the third row is not necessary. Two rows and storage is all you need!!!!!!
What’s wrong with having a 3rd row that would tuck away flat and out of the way. Still would be a nice option to have.
Yayyyyy!!! Glad to see you’re back 😍
Nice to see you sir!
Awesome seeing you back doing what you love. Def a nice rig. Form filled out!
Finally...a new video from Elliott!! Great to see you youngster and great video!
Thanks David!
Love when you post 🎉 Really good video
Thank you!
Welcome back good sir
Great to see an Elliott video! I think the dual horns are called town and country horns on older cars in the UK.
Yes, thank you! I couldn't remember the name of the horns at the time. I still like the toot button lol
Look who's back.
Indeed!
I got to see one in person and I love it!!!
They are pretty neat aren't they?
That’s a sweet vehicle
Good video Elliott
When I worked on yachts we had an owner that would bring a Panjero on the yacht. We had to clear the Sea Doos and put them in the lazarette which was a pain. Then we towed a chase boat that was a landing craft/dive boat/fishing boat. If we got to a large enough island in the carribean, we had to unload that piece of junk and he woukd drive all over an island and go like 5 minutes from one end to the other. Then the police came and fined him for destroying turtle nests and the beach. He had a ton of off road vehicles and invesged in a company that modified Jeeps, Land Rovers, Range Rovers and G-Wagons. He went to Africa with a few of them and sold them to various safari companies. I imagine he'll get these and modify them too. This is right up his alley. They are awesome looking.
Woah Clif, that’s pretty cool’
Welcome back, big cat!
With a fresh cat t-shirt even!
This is awesome and I’m so glad to see you back on. You know you are my favorite Simp on the internet. 😂
He’s back!
Great choice on reviewing this vehicle, Elliott. Your videos have awesome detail ~ I also enjoy your positive feedback on Arizona, too!
You're back!
I am! And I'll be in Indiana at the end of the month.
Wow very cool design!
From what I've read online the build quality on those things makes Land Rover look like Lexus.
woulda been cooler with an s58 or v8 like the new range rovers
So it's following British tradition Absolute garbage build Quality, but people like it anyway.
@@TwoDollarGararge Pretty much, except these are built in France.
Maybe correct you, the build quality is brilliant . I’ve owned over 20 landrovers and I gotta say the ineos feels so well made compared to the LR . I did have a few warning light and sounds but the software update soon sorted those . If there’s any owners they have still not had the updates then give ya dealer a call and get booked in . Takes a few hours and they’ll need ya spare key .
@@user-pg1ud3cs4jThat's great to hear. Like I said I only know what I've read online. Maybe those early reports were from pre production or very early cars? Glad you're enjoying yours!
WELCOME BACK 🎉 I JUST COMMENTED ON YOUR LAST VIDEO LIKE "WHERE U AT BRO " lol hope all is well
Thanks man!
I sold a lot of Defenders here in Australia, it’s great to see a similar replacement. We have dealers in each State selling them already, their order books are full.
I really want this!
About TIME lol!
Hey Elliott!
Hey Sock!
Nice to see Elliott back, even if he is driving a, uh, British/French/German...thing...lol
I cannot believe we have a dealer in High Point NC, that's where the Bentley dealer is too. Rolls dealer is in Charlotte. Most Ineos dealers so far are in the East coast. You can off road at Hoovies farm, lol..
I should have, but he was out of town when I filmed this lol
1 minutes ago is crazy
I like the quickness!
Okay, so when I first started watching, all I could think was how this thing looks like a video game car where they couldn't license an actual brand. But this thing is wicked cool! Screw Wichita, I want a dealer here in Chicago! Seriously though, this thing is super cool, and I'm so happy that you got a chance to drive, and review it for us. I'm definitely signing that petition for a dealer in Kansas!
You’ve got a dealer in Chicago (well, Lake Bluff) - that’s the only one in the Midwest.
@@ElderStatesman-pi3lc Well dang! Gotta go check them out, then. Not that I can afford one, but it's fun to look and dream.
@@RowanRedbrushKnauz Ineos in Lake Bluff
With how de-tuned that B58 is, I'm surprised by the mpg that's way lower than any BMW with one.
An American gallon is not the same as an imperial gallon . Admittedly I own a uk diesel so officially more mpg but I’m getting 25mog and it seems to be getting better the more miles input on
I am currently driving a G63 and got a chance to test drive this Ineos last weekend. Exterior looks cool and very capable in terms of off roading. My 2c: on road driving could be challenging in the beginning, especially when you turn, you will need sometime to get used to. 0-60 feels quicker than in paper(8.5?）sth I wish it has (as option): power seats, front camera/360 camera.
I’ve never understood the need for power seats. They take so long to move where you need them. A manual seat can be set in 1-2 seconds. It’s lighter & is just one less motor/electrical system that can break.
I love the look. You need to take Tyler Potter out for a test drive.
He would love this!
@@ElliottAlvishello from Indianapolis!
The center stack is very french. Like 80s renault french.
Hambach is actually almost in Germany, right across the border is the City Saarbrücken, the capital of the German Region "Saarland".
Elliott had an idea, a Kansas KZheadr track day, Lemons style 2k or 3k budget Or Lemons Rally Race of different stages Winner is King of Kansas KZheadrs
Elliott opened the hood and identified the problem, that the Car Ninja will soon have to deal with. Tow truck, by BMW.... LOL
5:05 I think there’s a small mixup regarding power output. The power output is around 280hp and not 220hp as stated in the video. (Maybe kw/hp mixup?)
Daddy Doug would be Proud
Tyler wouldnt, its not a hooptie. JR wouldnt, cuz theres nothing for him to fix 😂 its all you for this company buddy!
super nice car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙👍👍👍👍👍👍
Correction to your Jeep comment - Jeeps have freedom panels up front so not so much different from taking off the Ineos skylights. Otherwise, great video.
Hmmm, I was trying to think of a reason to go to Wichita. Its a long way. An Ineos dealership could tip the scales a bit, though EuroAsian Bob hoopties are more my driving style.
2:04 it’s powered by BMW so that motors will be non functional in no time! 😂 Great video Elliot. Cheers Pat🇦🇺
That BMW engine is also used by Toyota so it is very reliable
Yeah but do the wipers come on automatically in the rain and speed up or slow down based on the rainfall?? Or does the seat go back for easy exit? Yes, my now 22 year old Grand Cherokee does all this.......great to see a video.....while having a late lunch......seems like old times....
Thanks Michael, trying to get back into it. Life is crazy!
Yeah, new cars have a million things to go wrong on a dark night on the wrong side of town with a blizzard coming in.
@@peterhelm6003 sounds like a comment from experience......
Can you name the truck with four wheel drive, smells like a steak and seats thirty-five.. Canyonero! Canyonero! Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down, It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown! Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero! [Krusty:] Hey Hey The Federal Highway commission has ruled the Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving. Canyonero! 12 yards long, 2 lanes wide, 65 tons of American Pride! Canyonero! Canyonero! Top of the line in utility sports, Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts! Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!) She blinds everybody with her super high beams, She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine! Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!) Drive Canyonero! Woah Canyonero! Woah!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You had me at British 😢
nice car!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙
Like everything but the bmw part, to get support on this you guys have to start doing multiple videos with updates. $82,000?!
Enthusiast cars are increasingly at least the new ones are becoming tools for the wealthy.
15:00 Corvettes aren’t supercars?
you're right, I did say super cars AND corvettes though. Corvettes being the only non supercars I could think of that have the temperature feature.
There HAS to be a way to turn off the speed clicker
There is, but it resets every time you turn the car off. So you have to disable it in the menus every time.
The latest software update let's you durably disable this feature.
Must be a USA thing mines fine in UK, we can set it up in settings if we want a bleep at say 70mph
Pretty sweet! Id buy one if i had 90k to blow on a new truck
where the hell have you been
I’ll wait for the new Land Cruiser , which I also can’t afford…
Where have you been? Of course, I haven't posted a video to my channel in over a decade....
Hey I really don't want to be a troll but I take my Jeep freedom panel off in less than 5 minutes.
The power plant in these makes me skeptical for their longevity. Might be a maintenance nightmare after not very many miles. I've seen quite a few of those engines needing a LOT of work...
Really? Toyota thought it was good enough for their Supra and this is down tuned for durability, torque and not HP.
@@BryanPikedepends how long all the plastic parts, coolant tubes and fittings last. Time will tell
@@BryanPike I wouldn't gamble on buying one of these as one of the first adopters at least. Wait a few years to see if they work as promised in the long run.
Kinda looks like a Mercedes G wagon and a 1990s defender had a kid
281 BHP
Very disappointed it wasn't put together in a shed in Leyland.
I’d consider one at about half the price.
Needs a toyota powertrain instead of piece of junk bmw powertrain Toyota shifter would look less out of place
Not really. If it had a Toyota engine just by the landcruiser, it's that but built better.
Actually, it is a “Toyota” engine. It powers the Supra.
Switch Blade Key…Volvo
The only thing about this review is that it is so similar to Doug Demuros review of this very vehicle.
OHHHH Doug is more annoying that Tucker Carlson... that is saying something. This guy is nowhere near that, if not quite well informed. Maybe read up when your doing a review if you hope to monetize. LoL
It looks really good, but still the gear shifter is something of a letdown. It's so much BMW that it feels totally out of place in this car. The rest of the interior is pretty unique, why can't the shifter be unique too?
cheaper to buy an old defender and swap a BMW m57 engine in
Cool truck. If they can survive in business for five years I will look in their direction. They made and broke a lot of promises already. For $90k it just doesn’t make sense in any way for any purpose. They can fix that if they get back to what they intended to do when they started. Fire the lawyers.
well, you don't have dacias..
Don't be baby, just travel to where there is one.
Wow so much wrong information here. “Beadlocks” no. 220 hp - no. Too bad. The presenter has a good style and presentation.
I knew it, it was powered by bmw. BMW likes to supply engines to other brands.
Good review but would have been real nice to get a view out the front window instead of watching you talk the whole time. Oh well,
The MPG is horrible for European standards. Might be a sacrifice for all the off-road stuff, but I think BMW did that on purpose....
So this "eccentric" british billionaire is a Brexit supporter who moved the entire production of this British car to mainland Europe after Brexit because Brexit made it too difficult to produce this car in England. (killing of possible british jobs) ... That's exactly the kind of person/spirit you should be supporting/encouraging with your channel.
he's not british so I don't see why he would need to be british patriotic? I mean elliot. like most brexiters I doubt he understood what eu was actually limiting in uk(that the parliament wasn't for anyway. mostly what eu was trying to push on brits was stuff like less spying of own citizens, less random press censorship on extramarital affairs reporting etc) or how the money flowed between eu and uk. one should ask where if anywhere the taxes end up being paid at, ireland? high chance that not anywhere though. also there's also politics of if french are subsidizing the factory that's for producing rich mans toys, in which case it's better it's in france anyway and not boiling british governments money.
@@lasskinn474 I don't think Elliot needs to be "british patriotic", this was/is not my angle here ;-) I'm European (german actually) I also couldn't care less about the GreatBrexit shitshow. My angle on that is "don't push/advertise product from dubious people/sources." (this is just my opinion, I'm voicing here, nothing more)
@@HenningSchneidr I don't see how it's dubious. dumb sure, but so is starting a luxury car company that comes to the market right now. we can have different opinions on it of course! (and I do believe brexiters to be dumb and very few can even justify their position with anything tangible)
@@lasskinn474 I don't think he is dumb, from what I read, he's quite smart to play the capitalist game quit that well. what I don't like is this encouraging the british "worker" to brexit and when brexit hits move your productionchain into the "bad" EU so brexit won't hit you, like it does the formentioned "british worker" ... In my opinion the product coming out of such behaviour shouldn't be advertised by third-parties, because such behaviour is bad on a greater scale.
Why? Because the vehicle market had a shortage of overpriced SUV’s that never go off road. Gotta love a vehicle a billionaire built for us middle class “poor” 😂.
Brexit on wheels
