2025 Toyota 4Runner

True to its roots, the redesigned 4Runner is an off-road-capable SUV spun off a platform shared with the latest Tacoma pickup and other body-on-frame Toyota models. It is larger than before, being both longer and wider. The SR5, TRD Sport, and TRD Sport Premium trims come with a 278-hp, 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Higher trims get the 326-hp, 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid four-cylinder engine. Both engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 4Runner can be had in two-, part-time four-, and full-time four-wheel drive. The interior features more modern amenities than before, with screen sizes dependent on trim level. The second-row seat tumbles forward to aid cargo versatility. And yes, the rear window on the liftgate powers up and down--a classic 4Runner characteristic. Toyota's latest suite of driver assistance features come standard.

Brand context

About Toyota

Toyota mostly fulfills its reputation for building efficient and exceptionally reliable vehicles. Most of their models do well in our testing, thanks to their impressive fuel economy, comfortable rides, quiet cabins, and ease of getting in and out. All of this makes Toyotas among the best options for used vehicles. The brand was a hybrid pioneer, starting with the original Prius. Toyota has evolved and expanded that technology, and most vehicles in its lineup are available as a hybrid. Toyota also sells a number of plug-in hybrids, which were once called Prime but are now simply referred to as Plug-in. The company also knows how to add a dose of excitement into its lineup. The GR86, GR Corolla, and Supra are legit, fun-to-drive sports cars. However, some models we’ve tested have been disappointing. The company’s EV, the bZ4X SUV, is mediocre.
