Overview
The Toyota Hilux GR Sport 2020 is a performance-inspired version of the globally popular Hilux, developed under Toyota’s Gazoo Racing branding. It combines the proven durability of the Hilux platform with sportier suspension tuning, aggressive styling, and a more premium interior feel. In Sri Lanka, the GR Sport appeals to buyers who want a pickup that can handle daily use, long-distance travel, and rough terrain—while also standing out visually. It is commonly used as a lifestyle vehicle rather than a pure workhorse, offering a balance between toughness and comfort.

out of 5
Local drivers describe the 2020 Hilux GR Sport as a pickup that feels more planted and confident than standard Hilux models, especially at highway speeds. The GR suspension tuning improves stability and reduces body roll, making long drives less tiring. In city driving, the size and height are noticeable, but good visibility and light steering help. Owners who regularly travel outstation or on mixed terrain appreciate the strong torque and relaxed cruising ability.

Exterior Design
The GR Sport stands out with its blacked-out grille featuring bold “TOYOTA” lettering, sporty decals, unique alloy wheels, and a more aggressive stance. Compared with regular Hilux models, it looks more muscular and premium, appealing to buyers seeking a lifestyle pickup with a strong road presence. High ground clearance and sturdy bodywork make it suitable for rough roads, construction sites, and off-road trails, while still looking refined enough for urban use.
