5 Things We Love About the HiLux GR Sport

Inspired by Dakar and tailor-made for Australian terrain, the seriously capable HiLux GR Sport is the latest and greatest HiLux to hit the showroom floor at Motorama Toyota.

The new model features an extensive suite of features and upgrades that raise the GR Sport to new heights over its existing HiLux trims.

Check out our quick list of five things we love about the all-new variant and see what makes the HiLux GR Sport a seriously capable off-roader...

Power & Torque Unleashed

Under the hood, the all-new Toyota HiLux GR Sport packs a healthy boost in power (+15kw) and torque (+50Nm) over its HiLux brothers.

This power bump is just enough to create a ride that feels lighter and more agile and makes the GR Sport good for 165kw & 550Nm, representing the most powerful HiLux of this generation.

The GR Sport has also been fitted with a hefty set of disc brakes to ensure its ability to stop is just as robust.

Superior Suspension

A standout feature of the HiLux GR Sport is the enhanced suspension system that utilises KYB monotube shock absorbers to handle whatever you throw at it.

These performance-oriented shocks deliver a higher damping force, effective heat dissipation and rapid responses to changing terrain, which allows the GR Sport to endure greater punishment while maintaining its superior handling off-road.

It's no wonder why this technology is preferred by racing teams.

Dakar-inspired Off-Roader

It's no secret that the HiLux GR Sport is built for the rough stuff with its suite of off-road accessories boldly on display. With chunky fenders, a Dakar-inspired skid plate, heavy-duty rock rails, and striking red recovery points, the GR Sport doesn't hide its capabilities.

On top of this, other upgrades such as a wider track and extra ground clearance ensure the recipe is just right for off-roading. And this is no lean cuisine - the HiLux GR Sport is proudly Dakar-inspired, built off the back of the GR DKR HiLux T1+ that conquered its class in the world-renowned rally for the second time in 2023.

Uncompromised

In the world of utes, towing capacity is a critical factor, and where others lose out on this key factor when heading down the path of performance, the HiLux GR Sport goes uncompromised.

Toyota has retained its class-leading 3,500kg braked towing capacity that features across the 4x4 HiLux range.

No matter what you're hauling, the GR Sport is up to the task making it an ideal choice for those who require a versatile and robust vehicle.

Uniquely GR

The HiLux GR Sport doesn't just perform; it makes a bold statement with its uniquely sporty GR design.

The new model includes a redesigned front end featuring the TOYOTA alphabet grille and an aggressive stance thanks to the extra track width. The increased ground clearance allows your eyes to be drawn to the striking suspension coils that proudly share the same red found on the GR badge that adorns the grille.

The GR branding also features heavily on the interior reminding you that this isn't your average ute.
