Toyota Fortuner GR-S: what’s different?

On the inside, the SUV gets an all-black interior with red stitching, GR badging on the steering wheelstart-stop button, a new instrument cluster and sportier looking pedals.

Toyota Fortuner GR-S: powertrain details
The India-spec Fortuner GR-S is available solely with a 204hp, 2.8-litre diesel engine paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission with four-wheel drive. A petrol variant will not be available.
Toyota Fortuner GR-S: expected price and rivals
The GR-S is likely to sit below the top-end Legender 4X4 variant. The Legender comes in both two and four-wheel drive layouts with prices starting from Rs 40.91 lakh. Considering that the GR-S comes only in the four-wheel drive layout, there is a possibility that it will sit between the Legender 4X2 and the Legender 4X4.
It rivals the MG Gloster and Mahindra Alturas – the only other SUVs with body-on-frame construction in this price bracket. The Fortuner will soon take on the upcoming monocoque-based Jeep Meridian SUV, and the GR-S could be Toyota’s attempt to increase the variants in the Fortuner line-up to make it more tempting, just before the arrival of the Meridian.
