Toyota has kept the Hilux at the top of SA’s sales charts with the help of regular updates and special models, including the recently-launched GR Sport which became the most powerful diesel Hilux on sale.petrol V6 is still the top dog in the range if you don’t mind higher fuel bills, but the GR Sport targets customers who seek muscle combined with fuel parsimony.
Completing a look that makes the driver feel like a Dakar racer are motorsport-inspired front seats with grippy Alcantara inserts and GR badging on the headrests. The large double cab gets off the line quickly and continues to build momentum with a hearty feel, while there’s plenty of mid-range torque that makes for easy overtaking. Top speed is a claimed 175km/h.
This plush ride is matched by solid build quality. Kept fresh with technology and refinement upgrades since its launch in 2016, the eighth-generation Hilux has aged very well. It doesn’t feel dated compared to newer rivals in terms of refinement and glides along with an impressively hushed nature. Apart from that, standard fare in the Hilux GR Sport is plentiful and closely aligned with Legend-grade specification

The Delicate Balance of South Africa, U.S. RelationsThe official diplomatic line on South Africa-United States relations often points to 'cordial' ties - a position supported by the balance of trade between the two countries. But despite the efforts of senior officials from South Africa's Department of International Relations and Cooperation to compartmentalise relations into thematic areas, the political partnership has become difficult to manage, writes Priyal Singh for the Institute for Security Studies.
