Meet 2022 Toyota Fortuner GR Sport SUV – Showcased At BIMS

Toyota has recently showcased its premium SUV, the Fortuner, in its GR Sport edition at the BIMS (Bangkok International Motor Show) 2022. For those who are unaware, the Fortuner GR Sport model is already on the market in Indonesia. The Legender suffix, on the other hand, is not used in the Thai-spec model. The new model comes with some prominent cosmetic changes to enhance its sporty appearance. 

The 2022 model boasts a new, robust front grille and new LED DRLs, as well as a new fog light housing. It has a sharper front bumper as well as new gun-metal-polished 20-inch alloy wheels with red brake callipers. The SUV also receives a significantly reworked rear bumper. The GR badge can be seen on the air-dam housing and boot lid. It comes in a stunning glossy red colour, which is obviously a GR sport model. The SUV is also available in black and white.

The new Toyota Fortuner GR Sport Edition features the same blacked-out interior as the basic Legender. It does, however, include aluminium pedals as well as GR badging on the seats, steering wheel, and push-button start. The upholstery and door pads have contrasting red stitching. The SUV also features the brand’s Safety Sense package, which includes technologies such as dynamic radar cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and red-light traffic warning. 

One of the most notable additions is the 360-degree camera. Although the sunroof is still missing on the GR Sport model, In terms of powertrain, the SUV is powered by a 2.8-litre turbocharged diesel engine which is capable of churning out 204PS and 500Nm. A 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox sends power to all four wheels. In addition, the build quality of the Sport edition variant is almost identical to the India-spec model.
