Following on from the success of the Corolla Cross GR Sport, the best selling Hilux now gets the GR treatment thanks to custom Gazoo Racing-inspired features that will have you dreaming of conquering the Dakar. Introducing the 2022 Hilux GR Sport. The hero model of the Hilux range.
With extensive interior, engine, drivetrain and handling enhancements, the Hilux GR Sport is another Toyota product worthy of the GR name.
Starting off with the exterior, Hilux GR-S gets the Gazoo Racing inspired black front grille, with bold badges showing the GR Sport name. The exterior enhancements are also seen in the LED headlights and the vertically-stacked air ducts. This is certainly not a modest looking vehicle.
But it’s under the hood where the GR-Sport announces it’s heritage the loudest. With a 15kW increase in power taking it to 165kW and torque ramped up by 50 Nm to a peak of 550 Nm.
But what’s more power without suspension enhancements as well? Hilux GR Sport features new monotone shock absorbers paired with stiffer coil springs that deliver improved high-speed stability and handling and responses. Add to this the bespoke 17” alloy wheels in a Titanium finish with a taller tyre profile and you have a capable off-road machine.
As with every performance Toyota, peace of mind comes in the 9 service/90000kms service plan and the 3-year/100 000km warranty with plan extensions also available.
