See The 2025 Toyota 4Runner From Every Wonderful Angle

The styling of the 2025 4Runner is certainly an evolution over the previous generation car, not a revolution. As is tradition with Toyota, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Luckily, the rest of the car is a whole lot different than the ancient SUV it replaces.

The Limited trim package on the new 4Runner carries over much of the upscale aesthetics of the previous car. It’s still certainly a capable off-roader, but that’s not the point of it. Save that stuff for the TRDs and above. This is about style, baby.

Jesus, I haven’t seen an interior glow-up like this in a really long time. You’d hardly believe that the fifth-gen and sixth-gen cars share a lineage from the inside. 4Runner purists will probably be pissed about the big screen, but they can shut it.

No modern car interior would be complete without a digital cluster, and Toyota is known for making some pretty good ones.

Here’s another big change: the motors. The old-school 4.0-liter V6 and 5-speed automatic transmission of the old truck are gone. In its place (as standard anyway) is a 2.4-liter i-Force turbocharged inline-4 making 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. That comes standard on the SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited trims.

If you need more oomph, step up to the i-Force Max motor. That gets you 326 hp and 465 lb-ft by pairing that 2.4-liter motor with a 48-hp electric motor and 1.87-kWh battery pack. It’s optional on the TRD Off-Road and Limited Trims, and comes standard on the TRD Pro, Trailhunter, and Platinum trims.

Ya know, I was really confused about where the 4Runner would sit in Toyota’s lineup when compared to the new Land Cruiser, but it’s starting to make a lot more sense. It doesn’t make complete sense, but it’s on its way.

That’s one big ol’ cargo area. Look at all of the little nooks and crannies for your various pieces of off-roading/camping gear. This thing is gonna get so full of junk so quickly.

The rear-seat air vents and power points aren’t exactly the prettiest design elements of the 4Runner, but they’re functional, and that’s what matters here.

The rear windows are the real heroes of the new 4Runner’s design. First of all, you’ve got the standard electronically lowering liftgate window, which is so cool. On top of that, the rear quarter windows seem to wrap onto the roof. That’s so slick.

Look at this big beefy guy. You’d think this TRD Pro would be the top dog in the lineup, off-roading-wise anyway. But, it isn’t. More on that later.

Inside the TRD Pro you get all sorts of little touches that let you know this isn’t a regular 4Runner. More cars should have a little center-line strip on the steering wheel, don’t you think?

Speaking of things more cars should have, add removable speakers to that list. What a neat idea!

That’s a nice stance.

Think of all the blinding lights you’ll be able to control from this panel.

I won’t lie, the red starter button with a TRD logo goes hard.

Here’s the new top-dog of the 4Runner off-road lineup: the Trailhunter. It gets all sorts of goodies like bigger wheels and tires, a lifted suspension and beefier skid plates. Those trails won’t know what hit it.

That is one serious-looking rig. I’m sure people will mod it to be even more extreme, but I’m not sure where you would even begin.

Toyota switched up some of the interior colors and materials to make the Trailhunter feel even more special. I like it.

Look at that BEEF. You’re going to be able to run over so much shit and not even notice.

Conquer the great outdoors in your 4Runner Trailhunter.

Look how many knobs and switches you can switch and, um, knob up in the 4Runner. I want to start pressing things.

You’re gonna need the Trailhunter’s snorkel, trust me.

I don’t know what this white plastic trim is, but it looks really cool if ya ask me.

These wheels are absolutely stupendous. I really like how the 4Runner looks overall, but the Trailhunter’s gold wheels are probably my favorite design element on the whole thing.

So, folks, that’s the all-new sixth-generation 4Runner. It’s a really compelling truck, and for a full look into everything this car can offer, head over to our first look here.
