After a decade and a half since its last redesign, the iconic Toyota 4Runner is back with a bang for 2025. Sporting a fresh look, enhanced capabilities, and modern technologies, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner promises to reignite the passion of off-road enthusiasts while catering to modern comfort and safety needs.
Built upon Toyota's new TNGA-F truck platform, the 2025 4Runner embraces a radical overhaul. Say goodbye to the old V-6 engine and hello to a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine generating 278 horsepower and a robust 512 Nm of torque. For those seeking more power and efficiency, an optional I-Force Max hybrid variant of the same engine produces 326 horsepower and an impressive 630 Nm of torque. Both powertrains are paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission, a significant upgrade from the previous model's five-speed gearbox. True to its heritage, the 2025 4Runner boasts formidable off-road prowess. It offers various drive configurations including two-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive, and full-time four-wheel drive with advanced features like Active Traction Control (A-Trac) and an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case. The addition of a new Stabilizer Bar Disconnect Mechanism enhances articulation, allowing the 4Runner to conquer challenging terrains with ease.
Toyota presents a comprehensive lineup of nine trims for the 4Runner, catering to diverse preferences. From the rugged TRD Pro and Trailhunter editions to the sophisticated Limited and Platinum models, there's a 4Runner for every lifestyle. The Trailhunter trim, equipped with aggressive off-road enhancements like 33-inch tires and a high-mounted air intake, exemplifies the brand's commitment to adventure.
Step inside the 2025 4Runner, and you'll find a blend of comfort and innovation. The cabin features premium materials, an 8.0-inch touchscreen (upgradable to 14.0 inches), and a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster. Higher trims offer advanced connectivity with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, and USB-C outlets. Safety remains paramount in the new 4Runner, incorporating Toyota’s Safety Sense 3.0 suite as standard. This includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-tracing assist, road-sign recognition, and high-beam assist—enhancing both on-road confidence and off-road security.
In summary, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner marks a long-awaited evolution of a beloved off-road legend. With a robust powertrain lineup, enhanced off-road capabilities, advanced technology, and a wide range of trims to choose from, the new 4Runner promises to uphold its reputation as a go-anywhere SUV while embracing the demands of contemporary drivers.
