Starting the year is synonymous with Dakar. The toughest raid in the world always has a high participation of Spanish riders, both in cars and motorcycles and the rest of the categories. Carlos Sainz deserves special mention at the wheel of the Audi RS Q e-tron in 2022, an electrified car that will leave us with the most unique images among the dunes. Its almost Martian design has nothing to do with the rival to beat, the Toyota GR DKR Hilux T1 + by Nasser Al-Attiyah. This model developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing has served to inspire the latest launch of the Japanese firm: the Toyota Hilux GR Sport 2022. With this performance and sporty image version , the Japanese pickup will not only be one of the few SUVs left on the market , also one of the most radical and attractive.
The Toyota Hilux GR Sport 2022 segment is in danger of extinction due to pollution regulations, which attack its survival in the coming years. Of course, the firm wants to set the bar high with the GR Sport edition and its capabilities in the field , which will only be available for the double cabin body. A body that sports the specifications you expect from Toyota’s racing department, with a clear sporty approach as well as forceful. Plus, it integrates the limited-slip differential featured in the latest Hilux update. Of course, with an extra dynamism thanks to the monotube shock absorbers and stiffer front coil springs for the GR Sport version.
We already know the block, it is the 2.8-liter diesel with 204 hp and 500 Nm available only with the 6-speed automatic gearbox. A brutal power that will allow you to fulfill in the workplace, despite its clear playful spirit at the level of icons such as the Jeep Wrangler. As the brand claims, this Hilux GR Sport has been conceived for customers who want to take their active life and passion for 4×4 adventure further. Of course, with the necessary dose of design for everyone to know. We tell you more about this pick-up in the gallery.
