Siyavuya Mbaduli takes a look at Toyota's highly anticipated GR-Sport Ill, which is making a strong entry into the local market as a rugged and ready off-road adventurer.

Review: Toyota Hilux GR-Sport III

The Toyota Hilux has long been a staple in South Africa's automotive landscape, renowned for its rugged reliability and versatility. Over the years, the Hilux has evolved from a practical workhorse to a sophisticated yet durable vehicle, catering to both urban drivers and off-road enthusiasts. The latest models showcase a blend of advanced technology, enhanced safety features, and robust performance capabilities, making the product more appealing to a broader audience.

The introduction of the GR-Sport variants has further cemented the Hilux's status, offering sportier aesthetics and improved handling dynamics. With each iteration, Toyota has managed to maintain the Hilux's core values while incorporating modern innovations, ensuring it remains a top choice in the highly competitive bakkie segment. The new addition to the line-up follows this tradition.

Inspired by the company's Dakar Rallywinning GR Hilux, the GR-Sport III boasts an imposing presence with its beefier exterior update that demands attention. This latest iteration features bold design elements and a robust stance, drawing direct inspiration from its rally heritage. The aggressive styling not only enhances its visual appeal but also underscores its performance capabilities.
