The Toyota Fortuner GR Sport has been revealed in all its toughened-up glory, with the HiLux-based SUV getting a mean new look and a tech-savvy cabin.
Revealed in Thailand, the Fortuner GR Sport is also more than just a sticker pack, with a new ride-and-handling package designed to deliver a sportier-feeling drive.
We'll start with the exterior, where the GR Sport gets new blacked-out 20-inch alloys, as well as a revised front-end thanks to a new grille, bespoke DRL designs and a skirt and spoiler package.
Inside, you'll find a red-and-black design theme, with sportier seat trims (including the GR logo), silver and chrome interior highlights, as well as alloy pedals, a GR Sport-branded smart key, and the same logo on the push-button start.
Under the hood, you'll find the new 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine from the Toyota HiLux – now good for 150kW and 500Nm – and Toyota has been to work on the automatic gearbox to deliver a "fully-responsive sports car-like transmission system".
The suspension – double wishbone front suspension and four-link rear - have also been re-tuned, with the addition of a stabiliser bar and a new Monotube shock absorber.
"The GR Sport Fortuner is a flagship vehicle," says Surasak Suthongwan, Executive VP of Toyota Thailand.
"It has combined the valuable experience and technical knowledge obtained from Toyota's participation in the performance test run in racing tracks around the globe under the world-class racing car brand of Toyota Gazoo Racing.
"Thus, GR Sport Fortuner...unleashes the sports-car spirit in your driving experience."
Unfortunately the GR Sport Fortuner is yet to be confirmed for the Australian market. But watch this space.
