Toyota’s sixth-generation 4Runner moves to a new platform and ushers in genuine progress for this off-road stalwart. Standard is a 278-hp turbocharged 2.4L inline-4 paired to an 8-speed automatic, with an available hybrid i-FORCE MAX option producing 326 hp and 465 lb-ft. The revised body is bolder and more aerodynamic; inside, buyers get larger touchscreens (up to 14-inch available), improved seat materials, and more safety gear. Up to 7 seats are available depending on configuration, and trims range from everyday SR5 to hardcore Trailhunter and TRD Pro, each tuned for trail, city, or towing. The maximum towing capacity jumps to 6,000lbs. Across the board, the 2025 4Runner is more efficient, powerful, comfortable, and connected than ever.

Performance and Driving Experience Overview
The new turbo engine delivers responsive acceleration and more refined torque for both city and trail, while the hybrid boosts output and efficiency. Ride comfort is enhanced thanks to modernized suspension and digital controls, with Trailhunter and TRD Pro offering unique off-road modes, locking diffs, and enhanced ground clearance. Steering is firm but improved, and braking confidence is up with larger discs. Towing and payload are stronger, making it more versatile for outdoor and work duties.
Interior and Technology
Toyota has updated the 4Runner’s cabin for space and tech: an 8-inch touchscreen is standard, with up to 14-inch available on premium trims. Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, multiple USB-C ports, JBL audio, and a head-up display are available, with wireless charging and dual-zone climate on luxury trims. The dash is simplified and visibility improved, with more high-grade surfaces and options for leather and heated/ventilated seating. Safety tech now includes lane tracing, adaptive cruise, and a comprehensive radar suite standard. Seating for up to 7 with folding rear rows adds flexibility for families.
Battery and Range Considerations
The available i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain employs a 2.4L turbo engine and an AC electric motor, delivering 326 hp and superior fuel economy compared to the base turbo. It uses a small lithium-ion battery (0.9 kWh) for electric assist, but not pure EV driving. Hybrid trims prioritize efficiency and off-road torque.

Pros and Cons Overview
The 2025 4Runner excels in combining serious off-road talent with improved efficiency, towing, and day-to-day usability. Its broad trim selection, modern tech, and available hybrid set it apart from rivals. Downsides: fuel economy in non-hybrid remains average for the class, and firm truck-based suspension is less plush than car-based SUVs. Upper trims become expensive, and some rivals offer more on-road comfort and detachable third rows.
Pros and Cons Table
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| True off-road capability, advanced tech | Truck-like ride is firmer than rivals |
| Choice of turbo or hybrid powertrains | Hybrids cost more, non-hybrid economy mediocre |
| Impressive towing and increased cargo space | Some rivals offer more comfort |
| Comprehensive safety standard | Upper trims pricey |
| Flexible seating and new Trailhunter trim | Less plush than crossovers |
Overall Verdict
The 2025 Toyota 4Runner marks a substantial leap forward for the legendary off-roader. It's now equally suited for tech-savvy families and overland adventurers thanks to turbo and hybrid options, refined safety and multimedia, comfy interiors, and robust off-road kit. While truck-based ride quality and steep pricing at the top end remain trade-offs, the new 4Runner is the segment’s benchmark for adventurous capability with modern convenience.
