This is interesting. Buyers in the market for a traditional brick shaped 4 x 4 that isn’t a Land Rover
are going to be spoilt for choice. Right now they can order a two seat Suzuki Jimny. Then from the
  end of 2021 the INEOS Grenadier is a full size multi seat alternative to the old school Defender.
