The Toyota 4Runner is essentially an SUV version of the Tacoma mid-size pickup.

The new model is motivated by a 278 -hp turbocharged 2.4-liter four -cylinder backed by a modern automatic.

A hybrid system slots an electric motor between the engine and gearbox, upping the output to 326 horses.

While more powerful than before, the 4Runner 's four -banger can sound uninspired, and the eight -speed is slow to downshift.

The new 4Runner 's materials and finish are fine at the SR5's $ 42,220 entry point.

But its overall polish quickly dulls as prices surpass the $ 65,285 needed to unlock a Lexus GX.

The sweet spot seems to be the four -wheel-drive TRD Off-Road , which for $ 50,640 is plenty capable.
