There is no way up here that keeps the same engine and gearbox: the cheapest GR-S moves from Diesel Mild Hybrid to Diesel, so that figure covers the powertrain as well as the features.

No extra equipment comes with it: this step is about the Diesel it opens up rather than the features it adds.

It is not all one way: the GR-S gives up terrain modes, sequential indicators and ambient lighting.
