Toyota has launched a new range-topping GR Sport trim of its flagship SUV- Fortuner. Priced at Rs 48.43 lakh (ex-showroom), this new top-spec trim is Rs 3.80 lakh dearer than the next best Legender 4×4 variant of Fortuner. For the price premium, the company is offering a host of cosmetic changes and even a few mechanical updates.
This new variant is part of Toyota’s GR-S lineup of vehicles where GR stands for ‘Gazoo Racing’ which is the company’s performance arm. The range comprises sportier avatars of regular models. Hence, updates in the new Fortuner GR Sport are in sync with the GR-S lineup of Toyota.

Fortuner GR Sport is based on the top-spec Legender trim but gets additional cosmetic tweaks to differentiate itself from rest of the lineup. For instance, it gets a new front bumper with a redesigned air dam and fog lamp housings.
Addition of the GR badging on the air dam is the most prominent variation from the standard or Legender model. The blacked-out front grille also features revised internals. Take a look at the detailed walkaround video below, credited to Know Your Car- MOHAMMED NADEEM.

Other exterior highlights include red brake callipers wearing the GR logo, GR badging on the tailgate and L-shaped reflectors.
