INEOS Grenadier Rooftop Tents

All three EDGE Overland rooftop tents are hard-shell aluminum models with Raptor-style coating, 4000 mm water resistance, and fast one-person setup. Each sits well within the Grenadier’s 150 kg dynamic roof load limit when mounted on a properly rated rack.

Explore One - Best for Solo Travelers and Frequent Overlanders

The EDGE Overland Explore One is the lowest-profile option in the range at 70 kg and just 18 cm closed height. Its ultra-fast 1–2 minute setup makes it the practical choice for travelers who move camp frequently. At 210 × 135 cm sleeping area with a 7 cm dual-compound mattress - the thickest in the EDGE Overland range - it delivers excellent comfort for two people. The slim closed profile is particularly well suited to the Grenadier, where minimizing the overall vehicle height is a priority for those navigating tight terrain or low-clearance parking.
 

Horizon Mini - Best Compact Option for Couples and Smaller Setups

The EDGE Overland Horizon Mini offers the shortest closed footprint in the range at 150 × 120 cm, making it one of the easiest tents to position on the Grenadier’s roof without interfering with the rear ladder. Despite its compact closed size, it opens to a 230 × 145 cm sleeping area - comfortably accommodating two adults and a child. At 65 kg, it is the lightest model in the range and leaves the most available headroom within the 150 kg dynamic limit for additional accessories or roof-mounted gear.
 

Horizon One - Best for Families and Extended Expeditions

The EDGE Overland Horizon One provides the largest sleeping area in the EDGE Overland range at 230 × 205 cm, accommodating up to four people. At 90 kg, it remains within the Grenadier’s dynamic roof load rating when used with a properly rated rack. The Horizon One is the right choice for families or groups prioritizing interior space and comfort on longer expeditions. Its integrated 12V and USB charging, dimmable LED lighting, and marine-grade carpeted interior make it a capable base camp for multi-day travel.

Roof Load and Installation on the INEOS Grenadier

• Rain gutters - crossbar clamp system: Crossbars clamped to the Grenadier’s longitudinal roof rails provide a straightforward mounting base for rooftop tents. INEOS’s official crossbars add approximately 90 mm of height above the roofline.
• Rhino-Rack platform (official INEOS accessory): The full-length Rhino-Rack platform delivers maximum flexibility and the highest rated load capacity, but adds more height to the vehicle profile.
• Front Runner Slimline II: A popular low-profile alternative among overlanders. Mounts via rain gutters and offers a wide range of compatible accessories.

Safari Windows

Whether the Grenadier’s Safari windows remain accessible after fitting a rooftop tent depends on the rack type and tent placement. With a full-length rack and a larger tent, the windows can typically still be vented but not fully removed. Positioning the tent further rearward, or using a 3/4 rack, can preserve more window functionality. Confirm clearances against your specific rack and tent combination before installation.

Hard Shell vs. Soft Shell: Which Is Better for the INEOS Grenadier?

Given the Grenadier’s already substantial drag profile, a hard-shell rooftop tent is the more practical choice for most owners. The lower closed height and more aerodynamic lid reduce additional wind resistance, keeping fuel consumption penalties to a minimum. hard-shell tents also offer better protection against trail debris, branches, and harsh weather - all relevant considerations for a vehicle used in serious off-road environments.

Verdict: For INEOS Grenadier owners who use their vehicle regularly for overlanding or off-road travel, a hard-shell rooftop tent is the stronger choice on durability, aerodynamics, and setup speed.

Real-World Use: How the INEOS Grenadier Performs 

• Extended overlanding (long-distance travel with gear): The Grenadier’s generous roof load capacity means a fully equipped tent, accessories, and recovery gear can all be carried simultaneously without compromising dynamic load limits. The rigid ladder frame and coil-spring suspension manage the additional roof weight well on long highway runs and maintained tracks.
• Technical off-road use (trails, uneven surfaces): The Grenadier’s solid axles, locking differentials, and low-range transfer case make it a capable technical off-road platform. A low-profile hard-shell tent keeps the center of gravity as low as possible - the Explore One’s 18 cm closed height is particularly well suited here.
• Base camp and family use: The Grenadier’s practical roof area and generous roof load capacity make it straightforward to run a larger tent alongside an awning. Combined with EDGE Overland’s range of compatible awnings and accessories, the Grenadier can serve as a self-contained base camp for multiple occupants.

EDGE Overland offers a range of compatible accessories via the rooftop tent accessories section. Relevant options for Grenadier owners include:

• Annex rooms - additional enclosed living space attached directly to the tent; available for the Horizon One and Horizon Mini
• Thermal insulation suits - cold-weather insulation liner for winter camping; available for the Explore One, Horizon Mini, and Horizon One
• Roof bars - additional cargo-carrying capacity on top of the tent shell for solar panels, traction boards, and gear; available for all three models
• Traction board holders - mounts traction boards directly to the tent exterior; available for the Horizon and Explore lines
• Security nut kit - tamper-resistant fasteners for the tent, awning, and accessories
• Large mounting bracket kit - for vehicles with wider-than-standard roof bars or rack crossbars
• Antenna mounting bracket - mounts directly to the tent T-rail system
• Bottle opener - compatible with all EDGE Overland tents

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the INEOS Grenadier need a special roof rack for a rooftop tent?

A roof rack or crossbar system is required to mount a rooftop tent to the Grenadier. The vehicle ships with longitudinal roof rails but no crossbars. Crossbars or a full rack platform must be added before installation. Compatible options include the official INEOS Rhino-Rack crossbars and platform, the Front Runner Slimline II, and various other systems designed for the Grenadier’s specific rail and gutter profile.

How does a rooftop tent affect fuel consumption on the Grenadier?

The Grenadier already has a boxy body shape, which means its baseline aerodynamic drag is higher than most modern SUVs. A hard-shell rooftop tent adds relatively little additional resistance due to its low closed profile. With a hard-shell tent, additional fuel consumption is estimated at approximately +0.5–1 L per 100 km. Soft-shell tents, which sit higher and bulkier when closed, tend to produce a greater drag increase of approximately +1–2 L per 100 km. Actual figures will vary with driving speed, rack configuration, and tent model.

Can the Safari windows still be used with a rooftop tent fitted?

This depends on the rack system and tent placement. With a 3/4-length rack or with the tent positioned toward the rear of a full-length rack, the Safari windows can typically still be vented. Full removal of the windows may require repositioning of crossbars depending on the rack design. Confirm specific clearances with your rack supplier before purchase if Safari window access is a priority.

Can bedding be left inside the tent when it is closed?

Yes. EDGE Overland rooftop tents are designed to be closed with bedding left inside, provided items are arranged as flat as possible within the interior cavity. Bulky or oversized items such as very thick winter blankets or large pillows should be managed carefully to ensure the lid closes fully.
