To some degree that applies to the Toyota 4Runner.<\/p>\n<p>Hard to believe it&#39;s been 40-plus years since Toyota introduced the utility vehicle to North America. For 2025, the sixth-generation 4Runner receives its first major makeover since the 2010 model year. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The rugged off-roader might be new, but Toyota has maintained the same general appearance ascribed to the previous edition, including the familiar-shaped grille and squared-off protruding fenders. The tailgate with its roll-down window comes with redesigned taillights.<\/p>\n<p>One significant difference is the 4Runner now uses the same boxed ladder-frame chassis as the Toyota&rsquo;s midsize Tacoma pickup. Consequently, there&rsquo;s a 13-centimetre gain in length and a five-centimetre in width and in distance between the front and rear wheels.<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s also more cargo and passenger space, including a bit more legroom for those seated in the available third row. However, those gains are negated with the new 4Runner i-Force Max Hybrid due to the space consumed by the battery pack. For that reason, there&rsquo;s no third-row option for that model.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly the 4Runner&rsquo;s dimensions closely match the equally muscular-looking Toyota Land Cruiser&rsquo;s, other than height, where the latter holds a significant advantage. The new 4Runner has a 6,000-pound (2,725-kilogram) maximum towing capacity, which is 1,000 pounds (455 kilograms) greater than the previous generation. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"2025_toyota_4runner_interior\" id=\"file-9306746\" src=\"http:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/04\/2025_toyota_4runner_interior.jpg\" \/><figcaption>The Toyota 4Runner&#39;s dashboard includes a 12.3-inch driver&rsquo;s digital gauge display alongside an 8.0- or optional 14.0-inch infotainment touchscreen. Photo: Toyota<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The dashboard contains a 12.3-inch driver&rsquo;s digital gauge display alongside an 8.0- or optional 14.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, both with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. A phone charging pad is positioned ahead of the shift lever.<\/p>\n<p>For 2025 the 4Runner surrenders its 4.0-litre V-6 with 270 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque along with a five-speed automatic transmission. In their place are a turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder with 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet. It uses an eight-speed automatic.<\/p>\n<p>The new i-Force Max Hybrid models add a 48-horsepower electric motor located within the eight-speed automatic. Along with the turbo 2.4-litre I-4 the system produces a combined 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet. This is the same power system &ndash; including a 1.87-kilowatt-hour battery pack &ndash; employed in the Toyota Land Cruiser.<\/p>\n<p>Four-wheel-drive is standard with all 4Runner trims.<\/p>\n<p>Non-hybrid fuel economy is rated at 12.4 l\/100 km city, 9.6 l\/100 km highway and 11.2 l\/100 km combined. The more potent hybrid betters those numbers at 10.3\/9.5\/9.9.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"2025_toyota_4runner_trdpro\" id=\"file-9306748\" src=\"http:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/04\/2025_toyota_4runner_trdpro.jpg\" \/><figcaption>The rugged off-roader might be new, but Toyota has maintained the same general appearance ascribed to the previous edition. Photo: Toyota<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>4Runner pricing starts at $57,850 for the base SR5, which is one of nine trims. The standard equipment list includes a power liftgate, eight-speaker audio system, and 17-inch wheels.<\/p>\n<p>For heading into the rough, selecting the all-wheel-drive TRD Off-Road trim ($67,350) gets you a multi-terrain select system that includes crawl control (maintains a set speed when descending steep inclines), protective underbody skid plates and &nbsp;18-inch black-painted wheels.<\/p>\n<p>At $67,350 the TRD Off-Road Premium is the starting point for the 4Runner Hybrid power system. It also comes standard on the remaining five top trims, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited Platinum, TRD Pro and Trailhunter.<\/p>\n<p>With the latter you get additional transfer case and fuel tank skid plates, unique front grille and ARB-brand roof rack, 18-inch bronze wheels, separate Rigid Industries-brand amber fog lights heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats with lumbar support, reclining second-row seats and digital rearview mirror.<\/p>\n<p>All 4Runners are fitted with Toyota&rsquo;s latest Safety Sense 3.0 active driver assist package that includes dynamic cruise control, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist and automatic high beams. Front and rear parking assist with pedestrian detection are included only on the upper trim levels, as is head-up driver&rsquo;s information display.<\/p>\n<p>The long-overdue changes in style, content plus enhanced performance should attract utility vehicle buyers, especially to Toyota&rsquo;s legendary off-road-capable brand. Adding a hybrid option with increased output plus improved fuel efficiency should further increase the 4Runner&rsquo;s appeal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toyota\u2019s historic off-road machine receives a welcomed refresh along with a hybrid option<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":130,"featured_media":124714,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-124697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-life"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Introducing the 2025 Toyota 4Runner - The Interior News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/04\/01\/introducing-the-2025-toyota-4runner\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Introducing the 2025 Toyota 4Runner - The Interior News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Toyota\u2019s historic off-road machine receives a welcomed refresh along with a hybrid option\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/04\/01\/introducing-the-2025-toyota-4runner\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Interior News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-04-01T03:38:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-10-20T09:59:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/04\/2025_toyota_4runner_interior.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Staff reports\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Staff reports\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/04\/01\/introducing-the-2025-toyota-4runner\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/04\/01\/introducing-the-2025-toyota-4runner\/\",\"name\":\"Introducing the 2025 Toyota 4Runner - The Interior News\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/04\/01\/introducing-the-2025-toyota-4runner\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/04\/01\/introducing-the-2025-toyota-4runner\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/04\/2025_toyota_4runner_limited.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-04-01T03:38:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-10-20T09:59:35+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/#\/schema\/person\/b2a2559930289000cbfc74c234c9073b\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/04\/01\/introducing-the-2025-toyota-4runner\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/04\/01\/introducing-the-2025-toyota-4runner\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/04\/01\/introducing-the-2025-toyota-4runner\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/04\/2025_toyota_4runner_limited.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/04\/2025_toyota_4runner_limited.jpg\",\"width\":1200,\"height\":801,\"caption\":\"For 2025, the sixth-generation 4Runner receives its first major makeover since the 2010 model year.
