Toyota has launched the Fortuner GR-S in India at INR 48.43 lakh ex-showroom. The GR-S suffix stands for Gazoo Racing Sports, and the new sporty variant will sit above the Legender in the Fortuner lineup. The Fortuner is now available in three variants – the standard model, Legender and the new GR-S.
The Fortuner GR-S will be available only in the 4×4 AT trim. The ex-showroom price for the GR-S is INR 48.43 lakh. The price increase also makes it the most expensive Fortuner variant to be sold in India. The GR-S costs INR 3.8 lakhs more than the previous top-end variant, Legender 4×4. The Fortuner GR-S is available in two colour options – White Pearl Crystal and Attitude Black.
The Fortuner GR-S gets different styling to differentiate from the other variants in the lineup. These include a new front grille, all-black alloy wheels and different designs for the bumpers. The rear bumper also gets a blacked-out diffuser. New body-coloured wheel-arch cladding also replaces the black one from other variants. In addition to this, it gets GR badges on the fenders, grille and boot lid. Another sporty touch is the red brake calipers which also sport the GR badging. What remains the same are the quad-LED headlights and LED fog lights. The company says it also gets a revised suspension, tuned by Gazoo Racing.
The GR-S gets an all-black interior theme with contrasting red stitching on the inside. The steering wheel and the engine start-stop button also get GR badging on them. The instrument cluster gets a sporty theme and GR graphics for the MID. The sportier aluminium pedals complete the look. Other standard features include a JBL sound system, 8.0-inch infotainment display, wireless charger and a powered tailgate.
The Toyota Fortuner GR-S is available with only one engine and drivetrain option. It continues to use the 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. The engine makes 204 HP of power and 500 Nm of torque. Also, the sole transmission option is the 6-speed automatic which is only available in 4×4.
